Latino voters are heavily backing DeSantis and the GOP in Florida right now. They think they’re protected. 

The guy who shot that kid in Kansas City also shot through the door. They’re just deeply racist, and want “stand your ground” to protect them while they live out their dream of murdering Black people

Oh I’m sure “a lot” of people have left, just not “enough”. I’d be willing to bet that their traffic is notably down, but not enough to dislodge Twitter from its position as the internet’s news fountain. I’d love to be wrong though, as much as I value what Twitter’s possibilities could be, it deserves to die under…

Ragnarok was the first MCU movie I watched. Nothing before appealed to me and I grew up on comics in the 90s. The Thor/Hulk buddy stuff looked hilarious, so I went and saw itr and loved it. Love & Thunder trailers started dropping and I could already tell it just didn’t have it.

Musk’s bet when he bought the company was that the majority of its users wouldn’t leave, even when he flooded the place with bigots. For the most part, he’s right. People seem to be content to live with open bigotry and Nazis so long as they get to keep their massive follower count. 

DeSantis’ biggest problem is that he doesn’t have the stones to stand by what he believes in. That’s good for us, but definitely a problem for him. You built a system where this poem was banned. Stand by it, like these hateful little bigots want, or prepare to get creamed by those who will. No one likes a coward.

If only anyone, like major news organizations, celebrities, media figures, politicians, had spent years, if not decades, explaining to these people that everything Trump touches is a grift. 

Lizzo IS more accomplished and HAS amassed more accolades than 99% of people on Twitter, but… don’t feed the trolls. They are losers, idiots, shitstains, unhappy pieces of shit, and all they want to do is make people feel as worthless and shitty as they feel.

Trump made the decision after Jan 6, so it was just out of spite. 

California has almost twice the population of Australia, so if enough places do it, eventually they will be forced to pay or start losing serious parts of their userbase.

I’m not saying “ignore the racists,” just dismiss them. One of their big goals is to waste your time. If they can waste enough people’s time, a large percent of people will just give up and go elsewhere. That’s part of the plan as well. 

The natural course of fascism. They will demand more and more loyalty, while constantly reducing the inner circle of “purists” who are still on good terms. Everyone gets thrown under the bus eventually. 

Just dismiss their pathetic replies and move on. Literally the only thing they crave is a miniscule iota of your attention. Dismiss and go away, anyone so pathetic as to continually reply in grey comments is just hoping to trigger you in any way shape or form

It will likely circle the drain for a long time, just breaking more and more often as redundancies fail and new “features” fail because the institutional knowledge of what they could clash with is all gone.

Musk’s entire bet was that the majority of users weren’t willing to leave the platform, and to that extent, he was mostly right. 

With Binding of Isaac, I know a lot of the combinations had to be manually built.

I mean, he’s not *that* wrong. Pretty women who are horrible bigots don’t get on a lot of covers. It’s because no one likes them. 

The counterargument here would be that Musk himself fell for it, so clearly the grey checkmark isn’t worth anything

That would certainly be something that would be handled by a team of professionals whose job would be to vet all the blue check requests, that team, however, has been fired. 

Friend of mine got SUPER PISSED at me this weekend when I said that continuing to use Twitter helps support all the shit Musk is doing.
