I still don't get why you would want to pay for xitter.
I never understood the appeal regardless. The character limit, the UI, and the content is trash
Musk will sue you if you stop paying.
40 million per month? For check marks? Shit, coming together with a unified move to mastodon to save money and society is the most painless of obligations for those in the limelight. I judge all who remain on that hell plane made manifest.
we need more posts like this on the front page. i'm so fucking sick of hearing about goddamn twitter
I’ve been say this for months and months but they are addicted to their followers.
it's telling that not too long ago in threads like this there would always be someone chiming in to justify using twitter. now, nothing. they still suckle the twitter teat, they just gave up trying to defend it
We've attempted this twice now... too many people are addicted to twitter and won't quit, they are addicted to the twitter drama, no matter how bad the disinformation and hate speech get.
I think there will (or could) come a time. There has to be a limit. "Elon Musk sucks and Twitter is full of Nazis" doesn't seem to be the limit, though.
I figured Twitter trying to dip into everyone's pockets by paying for checkmarks would have been the limit. But what do I know, apparently.
The solution is to call anyone who uses Twitter a Nazi apologist. And it's the truth. Anyone who uses Twitter thinks there's a valid excuse for supporting Nazis, and a level of Nazism by the company owner that isn't bad enough to leave over. The solution is shame.

The solution is shame.
At first I thought, "Good idea." But I worry that it might start to dilute the stigma of the term 'Nazi.' People might start thinking, "They call everyone a nazi sympathizer. It's not a big deal."
Each person that uses x is a piece of shit. I'm just saying it as it is. There are plenty of other options.
Facebook and Instagram by Zuckerberg? Tik Tok by the Chinese government? Reddit by Spez? Everything is a terrible option.
I don't use Twitter/x or anything but Lemmy, but the social media world is owned by terrible corporations and terrible people.
Deleting X is a violation of his first amendment rights and he’ll sue all of you!
the first ever reverse class-action lawsuit
How do I delete X? I'd love to, but I don't think I have the access or permissions to delete an entire company.
It's a matter of perspective. Delete it from your personal universe by uninstalling the app and blocking the website.
As someone who doesn't speak native English, is $40mm
MM is a common abbreviation for millions in finance and accounting. Not usually used colloquially, but it’s not wrong.
M is roman numerals for thousands, so MM is a thousand thousands = million.
If it were Roman numerals that would be two thousand for the same reason II is two ones...
Wait, X is still a thing??
You mean Twitter?
What is this? Facebook?!
I'm beginning to think that destroying it was the whole point.
Tesla, too.
don't ascribe to malice what can be perfectly explained by incompetence.
Don't fall for the glass onion
I've never heard that phrase before. What does it mean/reference?
A glass onion is something that appears to have numerous layers and complexity. But in truth, it's completely transparent. It usually refers to people trying to ascribe meaning and genius to the actions of giblethead billionaires.
I tried to enter my old twitter account the other day as I needed to check some info that was only in a tweets.
I couldn't see tweets without login so In. tried to login and they pop-up me with so much shit that I didn't even tried. They didn't trusted my login and I couldn't be bothered to close so many pop-ups to enter the verification code they sent to the email (while of course saying that if I logged in their shitty app or with a google account it all will be easier).
Sum up. I didn't check the info. And for now onwards if your organization only post on twitter your organization is non-existent to me as I cannot access that info, plain as that.
I’m really sort of disappointed somebody hasn’t launched some transfer service for the entire platform.
There was almost one but then Xitter nuked their public API which makes it almost impossible, from memory. They knew this would happen, and they did everything they could to stop it.
What other site do we know of that made their API a pain to use killing the app that I used to tolerate that site that a good chunk of is migrated from?
