Goodbye, Musk. The ‘X-odus’ Is Here

It’s good to have competition anyway. Twitter was getting too popular. There should be lots of options. Even if some of those options cater to a specific crowd. MAGAs, teens, people who think Tiananmen Square is just a geographical location.

I've been using Bluesky. It has gotten a lot busier since Musk did the Nazi Salute

People finally leaving Twitter en masse?

Great, glad ya'll finally got the memo.

Anyway, Elon and his cronies have haphazardly taken over basically every single civillian Federal Government computer system, while everyone was struggling with the extreme potential inconvenience of not using a social media platform run by and for fucking Nazis.

Blocking and muting, detaching your post from quote posts, and hiding replies all make Bluesky a much saner place.

Yeah, the issue with Bluesky is that it’s just shifting the problem from one oligarch-owned service to another. Mastodon would have been a much better choice, but Bluesky had an algorithmic feed like Xitter so that’s what people flocked to.

X-odus has ring to it.
It might just catch on.

Reddit has lots of "activity", from many different "accounts", saying lots of "different" things. [wink]

Tesla price is irrelevant considering it's fully an inflated meme stock.

It doesn't matter. He doesn't care. He got Trump into the office. His investement already paid off.

Isn't Tesla business profits down like 80 percent when adjusting for the ev credits and Bitcoin sales?

I got into an argument tonight with someone. They tried to argue against my comment. "The entirety of the stock market is speculation". They didn't get very far.

I was trying to explain exactly this to them. The market is irrational and wrong.

But then you have to acknowledge the name change.

Can we just call it the Quwitter?

I referenced the guy who stood in front of the tanks the day after the Tiananmen Square incident on Lemmy the other day. Then I went to bed. When I woke up, I had a reply from a guy saying it was fake.

I was just waking up. I thought it was some young kid who was claiming the tank guy was AI images or something. Which would be bullshit.

But no. As I woke up, and clicked the link he provided, it turned out to be a 45 minute youtube video claiming the Tiananmen Square massacre never happened.

I only saw maybe 30 seconds of the video before turning it off.

The first thing he says is something to the effect of "Now just because there's videos, and photos, and witness accounts of the Tiananmen Square massacre happening, doesn't mean it actually DID happen!"

Instantly closed the tab. Oh, it's one of THOSE people.

I innitially thought he was trying to say tank man was a conspiracy or something. Bo, he was saying the entire incident NEVER happened, despite mountains of evidence it did.

I wonder why Twix didn't catch on as a mockunominal for that social media platform. Mars or whoever owns the brand missed an opportunity. On the other hand, I haven't had one in a long time, but I recall Twix being a particularly delicious treat, so perhaps it is best that name not be besmirched.

[email protected]

That's the sick part, so long as Elmo doesn't affect there lives, they just see it as "entertainment."

[email protected]

Too little, too late, but it's still better than never at all.

I wanted reddits IPO to bust soooo bad

I know way too many people who only used Twitter for sports. But after /r/nfl and /r/nba and all the sports subreddits blocked Twitter, I think a lot of the organic sports activity will die off.

Do the Qweeters get a whole year's salary?
