I can't believe people still use Twitter.

[-] mienshao@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago

I think this every single time I see news about that website. Like what the fuck is possibly on there that justifies using that piece of shit platform? Insanity.

This sketch was about Facebook but it's also relevant to Twitter

[-] TheFogan@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago

Actually more relevant now, considering the ending

"Go to the site where Nazi's scream at you". It's talking about moving from facebook to twitter.

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Well the punchline to that sketch is "instead of FB, just do what I do: Go to the site where nazis scream at you!" just might be that twitter reference you said was missing.

Non-fediverse social media is designed to be addictive because that's how the people running it make money.

I dont really care that the average person still uses twitter... What's INFURIATING is that gov't agencies are still using that shit. Why are important pieces of information still being shared on twitter??

The Secretary of Defense coordinated military operations on Signal, accidentally included a reporter to the group chat (who later spilled the tea on the whole thing), and in that chat claimed they were "clean" on their opsec.

That's what republicans do. They're dumber than a bag of wet bags.

I keep getting arguments from peoplee about this, even on Bluesky.

Apparently it's too much to expect people to inconvenience themselves and not follow their favorite musicians or whatever.

If the vast majority of people can't be assed to take the absolutely easiest step possible to fight (or avoid supporting) fascists/Nazis, then we really are fucked.

Same thing with how people could very, very easily choose just NOT to buy another Nazicar. Yet 90% if Americans still bought one last month as a year earlier. It's just about the smallest sacrifice I can think of - just buying a DIFFERENT car that you might not like quite as much.

And I think the fact that we are where we are right now also confirms the problem.

2 foreign parties have interest in keeping it up. MSB and putin.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

We can all go entire books at this point with the things we can't believe...

This timeline is fucking insane, and twice as depressing as anything I thought I'd ever live through.

In response (or so it seems) to her tweeted resignation, someone managed to get Grok to sexually harass her

[-] filcuk@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

That's kinda fucked up

Media acting all surprised when “anti-Woke” means Hitler. That’s exactly what it means.

She was happy to take the bag even after Musk’s nazi salutes but now runs away. I wish I could say ”better later than never’ but she was a CEO, not some random nobody working at the ”basement’. Fuck these people!

I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App.

Translation: I’m so thankful that I’ve had the opportunity to devote 2 years of my life to a company that was able to build a product that could appropriately express its true love for Adolf Hitler.

[-] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

Real translation: thanks for the paycheck. Remember me when you need another yes person to be your scapegoat.

the Everything App

the sheer hubris…

If you hang out at a Nazi bar, you're a Nazi.

In possible defense of this woman...

So initially, she's a woman brought on for a top leadership position to a problematic company. This is her chance to make some money and turn things around... And woman having top roles in business is a great thing. 100 years ago, that simply did not happen. Although there's still a fight for gay rights, trans rights, and the right of marginalized people, and there's still people being genocided and with no human rights, and people being tortured, that doesn't mean the struggle for woman's rights is over and that there's not some value to women taking top positions at large corporations.

And she made some progress on making that company less unappealing to advertisers, and did some good things...

AND THEN came the Elon Musk Hitler salute. And she probably had invested a lot of time and energy into the role, was being paid well, and was frustrated. Is she, as a woman in business, required to walk away from her efforts just because Elon Musk is a PR disaster and prejudiced person?

And then THIS finally happened. Her whole thing was just to be a businesswoman, be professional, and help make things profitable for this business unit, and this new AI change (which she almost certainly had nothing to do with and completely sucker punched her out of nowhere) completely undermined her.

So she did the smart thing and walked away. It was too much, it was undercutting her effort, she's moving on. Her last tweet was also very professional and corporate. She's a businesswoman.

Should she have left sooner? Should she have taken a stand against transphobia and some of the awful things on Xitter earlier? Yes, but also she had a boss, she had worked hard to get to where she was, and perhaps she wanted to make more money before exiting.

Does anyone know if she personally has done anything that indicates bigotry or prejudice towards trans people or Jewish people or anyone being genocided or tortured? I think her situation is somewhat understandable.

Even if we want to work toward a more egalitarian world in which all people have rights and are respected, woman will still be in organizations, most likely (if global warming doesn't kill us all), and so shouldn't woman be able to succeed?

[-] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 month ago

She knew exactly what she was going to be defending. She used all the code words and dog whistles from the start.

Her presence on a project will raise my eyebrows.

So I'm assuming she will head to Mozilla or Ubuntu.

[-] The_Decryptor@aussie.zone 11 points 1 month ago

She used all the code words and dog whistles from the start.

Yep, Elon picked her for a reason.

[-] napkin2020@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

Yes, but also she had a boss, she had worked hard to get to where she was, and perhaps she wanted to make more money before exiting.

And that is somehow an excuse? Being a business women trying to succeed does not give her a pass for anything.

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

Honestly the above comment infuriated me.

They would not be defending this person if they were a man.

Having lower expectations of women isn't progressive, it isn't feminist. It's infantising. It's misogyny of lower expectations.

A woman who is happy to support Elon is every bit as bad as a man that is happy to support Elon. Supporting a nazi is supporting a nazi.

Literally haven't heard anything that this person did as CEO in the two years since she joined.

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

she was hired to fix the advertiser exodus. Good reason to quit is this scandal would hurt her bonuses/job function.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Also it’s a good excuse to quit when you can’t fix the advertiser problem.

Sounds loke she found the line for being a fall guy that she wasn't willing to cross.

Not that anyone really believed Elon isn't calling all the shots here.

[-] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 weeks ago

Elon neuralinked into Grok AI, and mechahitler was the result.

[-] manicdave@feddit.uk 6 points 1 month ago

I wonder if she signed an NDA that prevents her from saying she was greeted on her last day by a manic sweaty wide-eyed Elon musk demanding he be referred to as mechahitler.

[-] skisnow@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

A lot of people in this thread are falling for the classic weasel headline reporting trick of using the word "after" to imply a connection, when there's zero evidence in the article body to suggest it means anything other than two different events happened a day apart.

Yeah ... it's best to grab what money you can now and run ... because you won't be able to later

[-] percent@infosec.pub 4 points 1 month ago

Heh, that kinda reminds me of Microsoft Tay.

[-] LarryDanieldson@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

But she’ll never wash that stanky musk off her upper lip.

I guess you could say she's the...

Twitter has been a nazi shithole since day 1 of the Musk era. At least now people cant say they didn't know anymore. If you stick there your either a nazi-bitch, or a nazi's bitch.
