Who is still interested in that stite it's actually baffling at this point that there are still people on there.

Jokes on you, no one ever DM'ed me anyway.

Really? What's your secret to avoiding the incessant only fans bots?

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I dunno, I guess the fact that I've never been very active on Twitter. I use it occasionally and reply to the odd thread, but I never even knew only fans bots was a thing there.

[–] MomoTimeToDie@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago

I've used Twitter off and on for a while to follow artists who post there, and my dms are full of only fans spam and crypto scams

The didn't buy Twitter for a profit.

He bought Twitter to destroy it because big free horizontal communication platforms are bad for billionaires.

He can't just close it, so he just destroy it little by little until it is no more.

The same way conservative groups bought Tumblr because it was too sexual liberating for their conservative views.

he offered to buy twitter for a joke, and he actually did buy twitter because a court forced him to. not because this was some grand plan to accomplish anything - he literally spent months in court arguing that he shouldn't have to buy twitter, and he lost. that's the only reason he owns twitter now.

the court didn't force him, he could have paid a penalty that was much lower than his current losses.

He bought Twitter by mistake, and was forced into it by Twitter shareholders who saw the opportunity to make bank.

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago

This is also the case, however he had the option to drop out with much lower losses.

Who knew that removing functionality and limiting access to your product was the path to social media success.

Apparently reddit attended the same workshop.

How else are we supposed to know that the [removed] comment at the top of r/news or r/politics was the best content in the thread?
