It's information, not just signalling. In short, fake outrage denied.
Wow, how bad must Twitter be doing that they’ve disabled account deletions.

Like you wouldn’t do that for a few thousand users a day. Ten thousand? Still probably not. It’s got to be closer to hundreds of thousands a day. Which is kind of crazy.

I’m not much interested in modern histories, but I will read the book about what actually happened here.

I have noticed more websites listing Mastadon under their social network links. It’s probably not much longer for Twitter if you can click on a company’s Twitter account and see anything. Every other social media site lets you view info without logging in.

As for Threads, Zuckerberg must be happy as hell with the downfall of Twitter falling into lap. The whole Metaverse debacle was probably making them pretty nervous.

Facebook/IG scraping insane amounts of personal data? What a surprise! Some people will still cheer for them for some reason though, because it's Zuck vs. Musk and Musk currently holds the title of most evil dude and they're okay with Zuck crushing Musk even though it's Zuck...

Let them fight, I'm on the sidelines. I hope they both lose, and go broke trying.

You guys keep talking about problems with boys on Twitter and I have no idea. I just know that suddenly a lot of ladies love me on there, for the most inane and innocuous comments!

And then an actual fight! With guest referee, Barack Obama.

Its one of my favourite youtube channels. He is informative but also funny and topical.

The relevant bits are the first 2 minutes, and after 9 min. What are the odds they aren't looking for an ROI on their investment in cash, but instead manipulating Twitter to their benefit? Saudi's personal propaganda machine?

Is this site still working properly? I noticed a lot of more prolific accounts have very few tweets showing.

Twitter rebrand coming, as soon as this week. Gone will be the bird logo.

So the logo goes from one of the most recognizable on the net, to, uh, an X? What a moron.

I'm surprised he didn't just change it to the poop emoji.

I'm working my way through Silicon Valley for the first time and the satire is being whittled away.

Musk is a real life Gavin Belson.

Didn’t Elon name his kid X Æ A-12 Musk? I’m sure this rebranding will bring all of the advertisers and users back. What a moron.

Such a good show, and really nails a lot of the tech industry.

I thought he partly based on Musk; so kind of life imitating art imitating life.
