Good. People should use mastodon and the fediverse anyway.

Yeah! Let’s get all those Twitter users over here
…wait.
It's a bit self-serving of me to phrase it this way, but I do think the Reddit debacle shaved off a disproportionately not-terrible segment of the Reddit userbase. I think you could make your comment about Redditors instead and it would still be fair. There's obviously a lot of Twitter users we don't want here, but if we got the top 0.1% of Twitter users by quality? That's not bad.
I'll stick with the Steam Deck for now.
Mine is 'out for delivery', i've never looked out the front window so much. I use arch linux btw.
Twitter is being a very Rasputin like problem for Musk. No matter how many times Musk keeps trying to kill it it'll keep surviving until Musk finally achieves the monumental task of killing it.
Don’t mind if I ask, but why would Musk try to kill a platform he paid 44bn USD for?
Because it's a subscription service. It's probably bleeding money. Remember he tried to back off from the deal.
So you’re saying that in order for him to save face and not close Twitter down overnight he’s trying to make some really bad decisions that would end up killing the platform without him having to shut it down?
At this point your guess is just as good as mine. I doubt even Elmo knows what he's trying to do now.
Twitter is going to lose money no matter what Musk does. The sooner it just dies and goes into insolvency, the sooner Musk will stop taking a loss in order to keep it operational. Even apart from the deal Musk has likely already lost hundreds of millions running twitter. Twitter dies and it'll stop being a financial drain on him.
He wants to declare it as a carryover loss and just stop paying taxes for the foreseeable future.
I think the original plan was to simply control the narrative and influence public opinion on one of the largest and most well known social media platforms ever created, but that tends to not work so well when you gut the operational engineering staff of a tech company.
Ahh, the Trump maneuver.
This is less “mildly infuriating” and more “completely hilarious”.
It's ok, Twitter. Once I'm done nuking my Reddit comments, I'm going after you :)
I had a 13 years old account on Reddit and a 6 years old on Twitter.
Both deleted overnight. Poof. Just like that. More than a decade of content, good or bad. Just gone.
They thought we weren't serious, yet here we are.
Now I feel like I'm on the top of a mountain, eating popcorn and watching the world around me implode and billionaires fighting each other for "power"
Woah woah wait- does this mean... If Elon is paywalling part of Twitter, will Spez also paywall some Reddit feature next?
Don't give spez any ideas! 😂
I say give him them! The less reddit users there are, the more lemmy users we potentially have...
Isn't there technically a reddit gold subreddit?
Anyone but Musky and I would wonder what drugs they were on. But with Musky it's always pure delusional stupidity. Maybe he'll choke to death on an emerald soon?
Dope stuff
Tweetdeck was the only thing keeping me on twitter. I kept it in a pinned tab so I could check the news and stuff. I was already trying to get away from it, that is the push I needed.
Same here, once Tweetdeck is blocked that’s the end of twitter for me. I can’t use the official app… it’s as bad as the Reddit one ☹️
Tweetdeck is amazing for Twitter lists built for news. Destroying that would actually cause me to leave Twitter
journalists and social media managers everywhere are apoplectic. Not sure if tweetdeck was really popular with the average joe though.
Most are using Hootsuite by now
which is also behind a paywall. And if you have to pay anyway, Hootesuite is probably the better choice.
Oh shit I forgot tweetdeck was a thing.
Dude TweetDeck was so dope back in the day. Felt like a mission control center.
I even had the desktop version, powered by Adobe AIR (yeah...)
There’s nothing verified about it. Stop saying that.
