C’mon. “Xodus” was right there.
Elon about to be charge of the United States budget and where our money is spent. He has tons of government contracts and more I am sure he wants. Twitter (X) did just what he paid for it to do. His 44 billion dollar investment paid off. He don’t give.a fuck if it fails.
Hell Trump/Elon about to announce it as the official commination app for the white house. Advertisers are already headed back to X. No it isn’t the end but the beginning.
No, lol. Twitter will drift further to the right (thus appealing to an evergrowing demographic) but it wont end because of bluesky.
I can’t agree more.
No. He doesn’t need people to keep the platform running. He doesn’t need advertisers. He needs his Russian bots. He needs news organizations to pay attention to the crap going on there. That’s it.
He’s richer than god and owning the platform is paying dividends.
We can only hope it does
At the same time, most people in my country that engage in politics still use Twitter. Even though they’re often left-leaning. It’s so annoying.
Local non-english discourses are neglected by the Big Brother. Sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s Myanmar: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/myanmar-facebook-hate/
Here’s hoping! Bluesky is nice. The people are nice. And the subscribe-to-blocklist shit is amazing. Never have to see some maga fuckwit spouting poorly spelled hatred again.
Left Xitter in 2016, but Bluesky has me enjoying the format again.Could you tell more about the subscription to blocklist please ? I still haven’t figured out how/what
Basically, you subscribe to the list (e.g. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:e4elbtctnfqocyfcml6h2lf7/lists/3l53cjwlt4o2s ) and then, as people get added to the list, they’re automatically blocked for your.
People can be added by the maintainer, or automatically based on profile content/keywords.
There are a bunch of lists for different things. Like, if you don’t want to see crypto bros, or AI artists selling shit, or whatever.
