ChrisReeve posted... I saw some tweet by someone I dont know who claimed people were going to die as a result of this. I mean. They probably will. Twitter was used to coordinate and disseminate information in a bunch of natural disasters, and now literally anyone can just pay 8 dollars to pretend to be any information source. --- It's a luscious mix of words and tricks, that let us bet, when we know we should have folded. ...

LightHawKnight posted... Why is Mr. Beast on the list?

GranolaPanic posted... For anyone wondering why this is a problem. It could start an international incident. At this point every government needs tojust assume everything anyone says on Twitter is a lie, and in a sane world every person would too. But they wont, so shits going to get dicey. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] The check marks used to be for people who were verified. As in verifiably the important/famous/ person or organization they claim to be. Making those paid and available to everyone defeats the entire purpose. Its no longer verifying anything except that you paid 8 dollars. Im pretending you need to be taught this, because the less charitable version is that youre just a garbage person. --- It's a luscious mix of words and tricks, that let us bet, when we know we should have folded. ...

Cobra1010 posted... Why isn't there already a twitter alternative? Are stuff happening behind the scenes to sabotage any twitter competitor? As I understand it, the Twitter model so to speak, reached a point where it was no longer profitable. A Twitter alternative is a risk and it seems nobody has much interest in emulating it.

No, he's a manchild with more money than anyone who has no idea what to do with it, so he bought Twitter because he was triggered.
