I agree this is of questionable veracity, but could you imagine if for example fb users had trouble following Trump? There would be a whole news cycle culminating in a congressional hearing. When people talk about the asymmetrical standards that conservatives are held to vs liberals in the media this is a prime example.

He posted a picture on his stream of the error message "There's a problem here" over the Biden/Harris campaign page, so at very least he's trolling instead of taking his job seriously. Twitter is his private platform so whatever, but it's another reminder that Musk will not be impartial and is actually pouring millions into the Trump campaign, so if you're still there now would be a good time to leave.

Yo it was a good time to leave back when he bought it. It was a good time again when he dumped moderation. It was a good time again when he changed the name to X. Really its always been a good time to leave. Anyone who hasn’t left by now has already ignored so many signs not even Ace of Base can help them.

You nailed it. I left Twitter the day he took over, haven't looked back once. Anyone still using it is perfectly fine with the dumpster fire and can burn in it.

I'm afraid people on Twitter will never leave it no matter what

When? I meant if they're there now, they probably won't leave

True, but I think if enough of their network leave they will too

Why in the fuck did Biden announce his resignation on that platform?

[-] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 months ago

Because, out of all the platforms available (Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit, Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.), Twitter is the place where the news will spread the fastest.

Let's be real, there's nothing he personally could do to fix this issue. He just plain doesn't have the skills.
