I hadn’t been there in a long while, but a friend sent a link to what he said was a funny tweet. It was, but the responses were just awful, and they all had blue checkmarks.
Every single inserted ad was for right-wing grifts (crypto, t-shirts, gold coins, etc) or awful right-wing politicians looking angry or posing with guns.
Noped right out.
I pointed it out to my wife, but she says the journalists she follows are still all there. 🤷🏻♂️
Previously, it was a removed.
Now, it’s a Nazi removed.I present: Xitter
“X” in Chinese is pronounced “sh”, so I approve.
Xcrement. It’s called Xcrement.
Hey, don’t rewrite history - twitter was always notoriously bad, under Elon it surely got even worse though.
I agree with everything except the “got even worse” part. It was always a steaming turd.
2 things can be true at once about something, imagine that.
I think the “even” in that quote adequately implies that…
It was, but now it’s a steaming turd with Nazis and KKK apologists.
A few Nazis and KKK apologists convinced a shit-ton of marketers, influencers, Karens, and other predatory users to leave.
On balance, Nazis and Klukkers didn’t make it any worse than it was.
Calling twix, or xitter! You can also call it Elon’s X (he has many exes, so this one fits in)
There is simple solution: just ignore it. Don’t refer to it in any way.
I mean lets not overdo it the algorithms were becoming very trash before it was bought up but it was usable. Peak twitter was like 2017
Sorry twitter was always trash
It really is saying something that it’s waaay worse now.
They have $44 billion dollar bills to wipe away the tears.
For me, it’s simpler than that: I’m gonna deadname his company as long as he keeps deadnaming his daughter
What’s up with his daughter? Did she decide to switch name because he gave her a stupid one?
She was a boy. Now she’s a girl. Daddy didn’t take it so well.
Read to the tune of Sk8er boi by Avril Lavigne
She was a boy,
He’s just a douche.
Can I make it any more obvious?
Ah ty
Don’t call it anything. Ignore it and maybe it will go away.
I mean, it’s not like twitter was ever a beacon of glory, pre-Elon twitter was still twitter
Twitter was a turd. X is a turd marinaded in diarrhea sauce.
Such poetry. It brings a tear to my eye
Ok well maybe a beacon of glory is a bit out there for Twitter, but there was a time where it was actually cool and unique.
Like back in the day where you could interact with it over plain SMS lol
I feel old.
My poor parents phone bill when I started using Twitter over SMS…
That was only the first year or two at most iirc
At least 4 years. I was using a flip phone until around 2010, and that’s how I normally use Twitter when I wasn’t at a computer.
People now have fond memories of twitter? Insane.
I don’t understand why anyone would care this much about a social media website
They don’t. Rather, they believe that others do, so posts like this are simply signaling alliance.
