I would like the ability to reshare posts while adding my own commentary to them.

I'm more about resharing without commentary and watching chaos unfold ;-)

Soooo good @tacobell

NEW: An AI app that creates deep-fake nudes of women for the purpose of blackmail is currently advertising to users on X, formerly Twitter. https://t.co/NqehoIEbzD

fucking hell!

AI (this tech bro version of it anyway) sorta fits in my head as the new crypto.

My social media idea was Bucket List - you just join, share all the things you want to do before keeling over and people encourage each other and share photos of checking things off and whatever. This would undoubtedly last a week before Nazis ruined it.

it's a good idea!

This is how humanity is going down.

I like it

what will people be tweeting on the day the world ends

complaining that their issue is being erased

not with a bang but on xitter

i will be tweeting the tux pooh meme, it will be very funny and would have gone viral but

kinda wanna get the Fumble Dimension guys to do a non-sportsie "the last day of Twitter"

what will people be tweeting on the day the world ends

about how the world is just fine and anyone who thinks it’s about to end is not only wrong, but a complete dumbass

Thought he had an easy target. Didn’t realize dude rockin the sandals/jeans/ponytail/solo Bluetooth was born into the shitty internet debate. Molded by it. When Mr TikTok was out partying he was studying Usenet archives and paying for Something Awful…

Our last tweet was stuck in the Twitter / X que from last night. This is the same fire.

Here’s a fun rumor (I question it’s accuracy since it came from advertising people): Joe Benarroch, joined Twitter with Linda Yaccarino, has been discussing a sale of Twitter in his talks with some of the advertisers that bailed in the past month. Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway also discussed a possible sale on their latest podcast. The people I heard this from also claim Threads is way more popular than what you’d expect. I doubt this too (despite being good news for my 401k). Who knows?

According to various speculations and analyses posted in this thread over the past year of the Xitter debacle seem to agree that the investors behind Musk would have to sacrifice about 60% to 70% of their original investment to get Xitter off their books. I guess they must be able to read the writing on the wall.

yeah i mean twitter is clearly on the verge of being unsalvageable if it hasnt already passed the threshold, these people gotta be thinking about getting whatever they can out of it at this point

Who would buy twitter? You’d have to ban musk immediately for it to make any sense.

i will buy it

I can chip in $420.69, he might go for it.

what's the point when you have FB status updates?

Evergreen post.

guessing you'd have more luck w/$14.88

Thread on quitting twitter bcz Elon is fash and the thing is broken and it could break you. Quite interesting little graph because for me that's where the thread breaks down. I don't like the mainstream sources and the sources that 'dominate' the narrative.

Though I consume bits of the former via people despairing at bias against Palestinians.

Want to know who is controlling the narrative Twitter on Israel and Gaza right now? It's not the New York Times or the Washington Post or even Fox News.

It is a network of seven accounts. They are all propaganda. At least one is a neo-Nazi.https://t.co/DVDsJW9ulo pic.twitter.com/cA1l2PPXtB

I don't like the mainstream sources either but don't see how neo nazis are an improvement. Ofc when you use twitter you're not looking those up but that is besides the point of the thread.

The graph talks about sources I hardly ever see but then again I joined 5+ years ago and have calibrated a lot of the follows.

The thread seems to be talking about networks that seem to be forming on disinformation, but I think people in the US and Europe are already voting for fascism before Musk took over the site. Not seeing how he is making twitter a lot worse.
