Goodbye, Musk. The ‘X-odus’ Is Here

[blakenong@lemmings.world]

Twitter is alive and well with the users they are intending to reach.

[meco03211@lemmy.world]

And the bots they need to pump those numbers.

[sinningstromgald@lemmy.world]

If Twitter fails and no one cares is the crying real?

[amidfuror@fedia.io]

Is it dead like Reddit?

[vaggumon@lemm.ee]

Sure it is. Will believe it when I see it. Too many people are far too happy to ignore the Nazi and suck at his teet.

[snotflickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

This feels like wishcasting. As long as they can fake their numbers, I guess it doesn't really matter because nobody calls anyone out on anything.

Tesla's stock price seems unaffected by Musk bullshitting the most recent earnings call, or not enough to matter. Its still above $400 a share and this is after he finally admitted current hardware can't actually do FSD.

The market is full-on irrational and invested in it. They will believe the bogus metrics fed by these companies for their "engagement." The same people who fell prey to Elizabeth Holmes can't see that all those profiles on Facebook and X are AI generated and automated.

It's kind of fine if it becomes just another Truth social though, isn't it? Kind of a containment zone. The big problem is if it's the one place where everyone is.

[blakenong@lemmings.world]

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

[sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip]

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.

[baronvonj@lemmy.world]

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

[pm_your_nudes_please@lemmy.world]

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.

[vipsu@lemmy.world]

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

[openstars@piefed.social]

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

[cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

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

[neon@lemmy.world]

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

[droporain@lemmynsfw.com]

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

[satanclaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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.

[default_defect@midwest.social]

But then you have to acknowledge the name change.

[iowagneiss@midwest.social]

Can we just call it the Quwitter?
