"Excellent", responds Musk to himself.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago

Musk looks at Facebook and Nextdoor... "WE'RE #1! WE'RE #1!"

[-] pirat@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Never heard of Nextdoor. What is that?

I briefly used it. It connects you to all of your neighbors. It's good for knowing what's going on in your community.

Also good for finding out how many racists live near you.

I am absolutely shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

[-] joel_feila@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Well not that shocked

[-] giacomo@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago

Twitter has always been the platform of smooth brains. It's not surprising it is all full of shit.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 36 points 2 years ago

They used to moderate. Scientific discussion there was also top tier

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Twitter could be a very different experience depending on who you followed. That's not the case anymore.

Don't forget people discussing the virtues of Nazism openly!

Don't you hate it when you're trying to type and your Enter key transforms into a Fake News key?

noncredible take: musk is a us gov sock puppet and if x is like this then its because that allowes 3 letter agencys to lure certein ppl in security to speak so they can be tracked better.

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

This would be plausible if there weren't so many examples of the FBI utterly failing to pick up on strings of red flags on social media.

Then stop using it? 😅 Promote your own instance and delete every EU government account on Twitter. Cowards.

[-] uis@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago
