Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.
I’m so, so sick of seeing his face every time I browse the internet
This addon helps a little bit but it’s not perfect yet, it still shows some pictures https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/block-the-rich/
I can filter his name as a keyword on Sync for Lemmy.
Why chant bring back Twitter, I mean if it was rebranded back to Twitter, it’s still owned by Elon and it’s still shit.
There’s only so much you can say in a chant. Not a lot of room for nuance…
A chant with more words becomes a song.
Now a song about how shitty x is, sang by hundreds, like what football fans do, that would be great to hear.
The new name alone isn’t what made Twitter crap, but it is symbolic of the massive changes made to the site by the new management. I like to think of it this way: Twitter is dead. X is the reanimated corpse.
X is modern New Coke. At this point, I’m not even sure which of the worst CEOs I’d compare musk to. He’s like all of their worst traits rolled into one. I have no doubt there’s some weird financial accounting going on at Tesla, just that they haven’t been found out just yet. His involvement into the crypto sphere and with doge should have thrown up regulatory alarm bells already.
At this moment, I’m staying with my fediverse accounts.
Watching Twitter crash and burn under musk has been so much fun. It being a haven for all the worst dregs of humanity and an advertiser’s worst nightmare is just the cherry on top. Old Twitter before mush for brains musk was still salvageable. He’s somehow done everything to make it worse.
I think what we really want is to have it restored to pre-musk-ownership level of functionality. But that doesn’t make for a nice four syllable group chant. Also I doubt the douche is capable of ever admitting how wrong he was.
Definitely, that’s the best outcome, and also that’s the least possible one also.
Why they care about twitter
They probably don’t care about Twitter - it’s just a way to insult Musk because he is obviously invested in the"X" rebranding
Don’t let this clown go anywhere without letting him know how much everyone hates his ass.
Bring back the classics. Not sure when/ why rotten tomatoes went out of style. Rotting onions could be a good remix/ update.
Haven’t drugs been used as an explanation for his mammoth missteps with Twitter? Because the way this guy is piloting the ship, he’s going to crash it into Prince William Sound at any moment. They’ll be scrubbing stupid posts off the seabirds for months.
Well thank you for making me choke on my coffee. That seabirds comment really caught me off guard.
Drugs, a breakdown, midlife crisis, or just Elon showing us who Elon actually is. Find out on the next episode of downward spiral!
Good job gamers.
Well now his ego is hurt and we get to see what else he ruins in a tantrum lol I wonder if he’ll try to buy out the IP and call it EX or something equally dumb lol
Oh no, now what is he going to ruin. This man has a “new idea to improve things” everytime a crowd boo’s him
Do you guys think there’s a part of him that realizes that people dislike him for a legitimate reason? I mean, he started out being the darling of the internet, when he was in the early stages with SpaceX and Tesla. His cult of personality was pretty large. Obviously he still has fanboys, but he has to realize that he ended up on the fringe, right? Right?
He knows, and he doesn’t care.
Once he became the richest person on the planet, he stopped giving a shit. Money buys anything he wants, so why should he.
Honestly, as much as I think he’s a db, and i dislike what hes become, I kinda find it makes him more relatable. I mean, who wouldn’t be consumed by extreme money and power? If anything, it distracts from the idea that you’re a giant cash bag and reminds people that you’re only human. Although from what I understand, he always been this way, and he just had a great PR team in the beginning.
Fuck Twitter. Twitterites need to grow up and move on.
If Threads had hashtags and trending topics, everybody would abandon X in a heartbeat.
And I’m honestly quite baffled that Meta haven’t implemented them, since even Mastodon has support for this…
Now his acts will be even more stupid and attention-seeking.
Who cares. Moving on.
Thank you for letting us all know how little you care.
Anytime.
Y’know, I’ve never understood claiming “who cares” when someone must care enough to comment. When I truly don’t care about something, I just scroll past it and ignore it. If you’re truly “moving on,” why not just, well, move on?
My comment was meant to imply that Elon Musk is talked about far more than he deserves. Especially when most of what he does is meant to troll or generally antagonize people. We have to stop letting disingenuous and downright dastardly people infect our daily conversations.
Bring back Twitter
I’ve never had an account on the service before or after the rebrand, and for the three or so people who I occasionally glance at the accounts of, I normally use nitter.net.
However…was there actually any significant functional difference associated with “X” rebrand?
The most-significant technical shift that I was aware of was many years back, when they increased the tweet character limit.
No, it’s just a very poorly thought out rebrand. Articles keep saying “X, formerly Twitter” because without it, articles actually sound pretty bad and look silly. It’s a bad name for an Internet service. It’s generic. It doesn’t do well in web searches. It doesn’t sound good when talking out loud. It’s all around a poor idea according to any marketing theory. People are used to saying tweets. It already essentially had total mind share. It was the standard for microblogging. It reached “Kleenex” or “band-aid” status in being the default reference for the concept.
And he just ditched it because he likes the letter X.
And what URL do we use to view X? Oh, is it still twitter.com? Musk is a fucking clown.
I bet he’ll wipe his tears with the thousands of dollars he made there.
