"Excellent", responds Musk to himself.

I mean, someone needs to engage with the bots on that platform and he's certainly not going to pay someone else to do it.

I am absolutely shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

Twitter has always been the platform of smooth brains. It's not surprising it is all full of shit.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 35 points 2 years ago

They used to moderate. Scientific discussion there was also top tier

[–] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Twitter could be a very different experience depending on who you followed. That's not the case anymore.

And the article ends in the author's Follow me on Twitter.

Don't you hate it when you're trying to type and your Enter key transforms into a Fake News key?

it’s better than reaching for a semicolon and typing a russian flag again

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 years ago

Don't forget people discussing the virtues of Nazism openly!

[–] einfach_orangensaft@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

noncredible take: musk is a us gov sock puppet and if x is like this then its because that allowes 3 letter agencys to lure certein ppl in security to speak so they can be tracked better.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This would be plausible if there weren't so many examples of the FBI utterly failing to pick up on strings of red flags on social media.

Every X user: Yeah you tell em! Huh? Me? No I use the good parts.

[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago

Then stop using it? 😅 Promote your own instance and delete every EU government account on Twitter. Cowards.

When Twitter was Twitter the same concerns were outed. Now X is Twitter minus 80% of its employees. From an economic standpoint it seems that investing in moderation doesn't give you less concerns and complaints from the outside regarding disinformation, more extreme content, ... . The advertisers have the most impact, I think. Together with the users that will look for an alternative.
