Probably wouldn't have happened--at least, not as fast--if Elon hadn't shat the bed so badly with Twitter.

As a human being, no, he's not, but he's at least smart enough to not ruin his own social media site's basic functionality.

They still think it's nothing but celebrities and randos sharing hot takes and photos of their lunches. Nevermind how much news breaks on it or how it can organize events or be educational/informative. Who the fuck cares about that? I need to stop seeing people share political opinions ASAP!

I think the idea of it is fine, but the amount of influence some people/groups have on it and even what other people see or don't isn't natural. It's manufactured and steered toward engagement at any cost, and a higher one than anyone probably guessed. A natural one may have worked out better.

True.

But at least Zuckerberg does us the favour of not popping up every five minutes to inform the world that he is still a shitbag, and would like some attention.

Well, it's not really the social media itself that's the problem, rather people's addiction to it. I know I'm going into old man mode here, but it really wasn't as bad in the earlier days when folks used it but weren't fucking obsessed and making their whole life revolve around it.

The amount of police brutality videos that we were able to compile during the George Floyd protests was insane. And pretty much none of it covered by mainstream news sources.

If only Musk had left Twitter alone. Meta having control of so much social media is not good. But they're the only ones with the size to immediately compete with the volumes Twitter does.

Even with stuff like this popping up, it's going to be hard to get enough people to actually jump ship from Twitter. Musk will have to continue to implement shit to make it unusable.

I don't use Twitter in any capacity but if I did want to sign up for something of the sort, it'd be this one.

Musk just straight pisses me off with how dumb he is and I already have a Facebook account in addition to using WhatsApp regularly. Signing up for Threads would be a no brainer for me - I won't but we'll see what happens.
