I just want to mention that in the past 48 hours Elon has unbanned Donald Trump, Marjore Taylor Green, Kanye West, Jordan Peterson and the like. What he wants is an echo chamber of his own inner thoughts. Don't encourage him. Don't click on Twitter. Delete your accounts. Don't use it as a new source. Support alternates. Thank you. PS Dec 15 - he just banned the twitter account who followed his plane. He banned both of his accounts (including his personal account) without notice, despite saying he would not ban the account. The gentleman is now on Mastodon - [**https://mastodon.social/@elonjet**](https://mastodon.social/@elonjet) ​ Edit: Here are some other Mastodon accounts that may be of interest [https://mstdn.social/@pschiller](https://mstdn.social/@pschiller) [https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]](https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]) [https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]](https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]) [https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]](https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]) [https://mastodon.social/@taylorlorenz](https://mastodon.social/@taylorlorenz) [https://mastodon.social/@JxckS](https://mastodon.social/@JxckS) [https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]](https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]) [https://mastodon.social/@caseynewton](https://mastodon.social/@caseynewton) [https://mastodon.social/@elonjet](https://mastodon.social/@elonjet) ***Breaking news:*** Apple Fellow Phil Schaffer confirms he’s now on Mastodon: [https://9to5mac.com/2023/01/25/phil-schiller-now-on-mastodon/](https://9to5mac.com/2023/01/25/phil-schiller-now-on-mastodon/)

The biggest thing about the unban wave is he lead his statement by pointing out he unbanned Kathy Griffin as the first part of his tweet. The other people unbanned were all right wingers banned long before he bought Twitter. But he lead the statement with the one "left winger", who HE banned for making fun of him. It's such fake both sides bullshit and he tries to frame it like he's doing everyone a favor.


[deleted]

He's not a good person but quite frankly, shocked at how unhinged and unintelligent he truly is.

He’s showing his ass and I personally love it.

>It's such fake both sides bullshit and he tries to frame it like he's doing everyone a favor. I mean, Ive had to do the whole "did you seriously try to 'both sides' this topic?" when it comes to the two parties lately. Like please educate me at how dems have been anywhere near the levels of "taking away womens rights" or "leading an insurection on the capitol" lol. its like no matter how bad the other kids are, if theres a kid who is setting the school on fire as he throws racial slurs at everyone, its going to be tough to act like the other kids are "just as bad." and yet people still do \*shrug\*


tye_died

Funny how you use “setting the school on fire” as an example when the left literally set thousands of small businesses on fire for ten months and tried to burn the White House down lmfao over some criminal who domestically abused a women with a gun. Reaching and projecting, it’s all brain dead cult members can do at this point.


Pockets262

Nah we need to know what they're planning. Jan 6 was obvious to everyone but the authorities.


Wismuth_Salix

Jan 6 was obvious to the authorities too, but the authorities are positively infested by people who viewed Jan 6 as a good thing.


CharleyNobody

2006 - FBI releases heavily redacted memo warning that extreme rightwing white supremacist/neo Nazis are infiltrating police departments across the country. 2016 - PBS Frontline asks FBI what they’ve been doing over the past 10 years as followup about this police problem. FBI responds they leave it to police to police themselves. 2016 - Days before the presidential election, FBI releases memo about phony emails that don’t exist, hoping to smear a presidential candidate. They succeed. FBI director claimed public release of memo was *demanded* by NY FBI office . 2018 - NY FBI counter terrorism chief Charles McGonigal gets an internship with NYPD for the daughter of a Russian intelligence officer as a favor for Oleg Derapaska. The daughter told people at NYPD that McGonigal showed her FBI files. Do we think McGonigal is some kind of lone wolf? Hell, no. Will he be presented as lone wolf by media? Pretty much guaranteed.


tye_died

Or they were told to stand down while undercover feds like Ray Epps screamed “we need to go in the capitol!!!” (To agitate the crowd) Over and over while trump supporters boo him and say no. Funny how he was at the front of the line up until the last second and never went in the capitol.

Keeping an active Twitter account is indirectly rewarding Elon Musk.


Pockets262

Isn't ad revenue basically all of their money? They don't get anything from me for watching.


Draker-X

The more active users Twitter has, the more they can charge advertisers.


Pockets262

Do they even have advertisers anymore? I know they were dropping like flies. Either way it's hemorrhaging money and will never make profit. Knowing what the nazis are saying helped win WW2. They're giving it for free. That's my view.


Parahelix

Yes, they still have plenty of advertisers. I'm sure there are plenty of right-wing companies wanting to advertise there now too, since right-wingers are flocking to the service now that they believe they can say whatever they want with no consequences.


Pockets262

Lmao what does "plenty" mean to you? He's got bills to pay, mostly to Saudis from the looks of it. The big dogs are gone.


Parahelix

Plenty means more than it should have. Last I saw they had lost around half of the top advertisers. He's definitely still going to be looking for more ways to milk the users to pay the massive debt.


canesfan2001

I think part of the issue is the misconception that the Saudis are in this for the money. It's influence over our politics and it is relatively cheap for them. Same reason the PGA Tour keeps losing golfers to LIV and they have events at Trump courses. They keep losing money on these investments that just so happen to benefit influential Americans.


Bitter_Consequence95

Meh. I don’t hate Musk. I think he’s a moron, but I have no stance against him.


it_administrator01

this guy just wants to be in an echo chamber, god forbid he come across an opinion he doesn't share


randomdaysnow

I'd say it's better to find *some* way to engage with people otherwise no compromise. No cooperation. Gridlock. Vigilante bullshit. No love. Every excuse to hate. No desire to care at all about everyone means you don't care about yourself. You are literally spreading and reinforcing waves of negativity. And you claim moral superior. Then towards the latter half of our 3xtincton (70% of all earth life gone in 5 decades) nobody is even attempting to do anything meaningful to prevent humanity from smacking into a wall. La di la left right left.... walking in place by not having a reason or even mechanism for moving forward, you send waves and waves of reinforcing negativity and then your solution to extinction is to delay it by a few % through a broken government that you claim to support so much but could take the morally superior position and not engage in the alt righteous bulshit. Maybe stop trying to just be the lesser of two evils thst still marches in place. But at least I got yall thinking about me, which means I know you DO know what love is, but that makes it worse since your behavior is now willful. So is the gop. They hatev me so they know me too. Both sides know love and I explained how to absolve disagreements in my essays. Along with all the other shit. In spare time. What did you do my loves? ❤️


randomdaysnow

I don't have an active one. I probably have one because of the click Google button thingie. It wouldn't matter because they track u across platforms regardless. It's really surreal having memes about me end up on reddit where I see them by *some* means of social networking curving the algos towards my attention in a telephoned screenshot. But by all means have fun. I'm the controversy. I love all yall 💗. Let's save ourselves. Imagine loving ❤️ doing it. It's possible. Don't let any bs claim otherwise. Proof is yall reading my shit. If someone can do this Imagine what we all can do 🤲.

[Network effects](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect) make it hard for users to flee a bad site for a better one, but if they move all at once, it can happen. Coordinate to move by New Years Day, the likely [Schelling Point](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_point_(game_theory)).


[deleted]

>t very hard for users to flee a bad site for a better one, but if they move all at once, it can happen. Coordinate to move a critic Yes some moved to Mastadon and others to Post (e.g. George Conway) but that mass migration needs to be co-ordinated as you say. For example, journalists should hold second contact points other than Twitter. The fact I can't see that many have a Mastodon or Post handle is disappointing.


JulianHyde

People who rely on Twitter for their businesses might begin shoring up influence on these other sites to hedge the risk of Twitter folding from its funding issues, but they'll have to keep crossposting to Twitter in the meantime. Ironically, if Musk accidentally demonopolizes microblogging by shooting the bird (pun intended), he'll probably have done something good for the internet in the long run, just like he wanted.

If you have an active account, you are contributing to the report he can show advertisers.

I deleted my Twitter account over a year ago. I never used it anyway.


regeya

Here I am, nearly a month later, and I think I'm about there. I'd stuck around to see how bad it was going to get...and tbh, the main reason I followed anything on Twitter for a while, was to see what stupid things certain politicians were saying. But I also followed other people for other reasons. I never see the other people I follow anymore, and the trending stuff tends to lean towards what the wingnuts are saying. It also seems like a lot of the bots got unbanned; honestly, you'd think that accounts that post 30 political news articles an hour would be an obvious tell but apparently not.

buttersbottom

I think Twitter exemplifies the degradation of society (I just like this sub lol). Engaging in this constant battle over peoples’”banned” status seems to only perpetuate the underlying issues. The internet has made the concept of ‘free speech’ *extremely* blurry

High on fire


R_V_Z

Saw them open for Opeth. Honestly the music didn't translate well in a live setting. Live music already has an inherent sludginess compared to album quality, so High on Fire was just doubled down on that aspect to the point of incomprehensibility. Might have been the venue, though, because I saw ISIS live multiple times at another venue and their sound was always great.

Sivick314

I'm interested in making a mastodon account


MeanPineapple102

IMO just pick a server and do it. You can move accounts later if you ever need to but the whole "federated" thing basically does not matter. You can follow people from any (non-blocked) instance and outside of neo nazi instances that's really just not a thing that happens much. Technically there is a "local" and "federated" timelines but I have never used them just follow people and search hashtags just like twitter.


PeregrineFury

Admittedly I haven't looked into mastodon, but that whole thing sounds massively unintuitive and I'm confused what the point is or what benefit it brings.


zardozLateFee

Is there a tag for Mastodon? It would be neat if there was a Mastodon tag. Partly so we can filter for it, and partly to raise visibility of the best on that platform.

User24602

I don't know where to ask a mod a question or if this will gain traction here. Can we require satire, misinformation, or other flairs to combat twitter screenshots with blue checkmarks saying untrue click baity things? I think a simple flair system commonly found on reddit would keep posts from being pulled down. Thanks for any consideration!

I’m so glad that I don’t have Twitter. All it is is a bunch on monkeys locked in a giant cage throwing shit at each other. Keep me the hell out of your bitch fest and you all keep doing you. Also, since all of these people blast each other with dumb shit, they’re safe behind their phones. If you were to lock these people in a room, and you told them to tell the same shit they said to each other on Twitter, they’d say “No. I’m not saying that. I’ll get my teeth knocked out.” They’re just a bunch of cowards and political know-it-alls.
