the centralized format is really good for art shares. RTs can get it rolling, mutuals and all that.

Im sure asking for IDs and addresses wont result in privacy issues /s

People are going to drop Twitter like hot garbage especially celebrities that dont want that shit out there. I wouldnt trust the now private company of Twitter to use that info in good faith

It almosts seems like he's trying to run it into the ground. Is twitter unprofitable or something? I dunno anything about business, but is there any kind of clause that says he couldn't buy it and just close it outright before a certain amount of time so he's trying to purposely run it into the ground to stop from losing more money on top of the 40 billion he was forced to pay?

I'm just guessing, but it sure seems like nobody would think this is a reasonable strategy to run a company.

This whole Twitter fiasco has really shown me how little people care about Twitter but the media loves Twitter.

This must be what the rest of the world experiences when the US is in the news, and no one really cares

Social media is only pointless and stupid when you have no friends.

The company has only had 2 profitable years since 2013

https://companiesmarketcap.com/twitter/eps/

If you look at the years it was profitable it becomes clear as day why they let a certain someone flagrantly ignore the rules.

Good. 99.9% of the people who have one are an upjumped nobody whose opinions need to be ignored anyway.

-grows you privileged and wealthy
-is of average intelligence
-parents pay for good degree
-parents use connection to get them a good job
-now their opinions are somehow more valid than the rest of ours

There is nothing close to a Twitter alternative.

You guys who dislike the popular social media apps such as Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok are out of luck.

Nothing is replacing them.

ID seems like a pretty reasonable thing to provide as part of the whole anti-impersonation thing?

I dunno why it costs $20 per month though

Or you could actually, you know, talk to your friends. In person. Out somewhere. Or call. Or text. Instead of wading through a shit ton of conspiracy nonsense, trolls, Russian bots, stupid drama from stupid people and utter mind-numbing horseshit

I'm guessing it will eradicate advertising too. Seems like Elon is pushing for more reliance on subscriptions for profitability.
