Elon Musk is for some reason attacking Wikipedia and we can't quite figure out why. The Hill reports on what the tech billionaire has said about the free online encyclopedia and what offer he made it.
I wonder how long #Elmo had sat there with his iphone and fumed over people on twitter freely saying shit like equality is rather preferable, apartheid was quite undesireable, and please police stop killing us, before he decided to take action to stomp out insane wokeness there one way or another
You two are 100% correct. #Elmo and the other tech mogul #SciFi nerds from their high-school and college days are actually trying to realize part of these novels within their framework of beliefs, e.g. #Longtermism.
(If you listen to the two #TESCREAL interviews/podcasts* in my TL, it becomes clear.)
"X users were presented with video game footage passed off as footage of a Hamas attack, images of fireworks in Algeria presented as Israeli strikes on Hamas & old video from the Syrian civil war repurposed to look like it was taken this weekend"
Es hat soeben das erste Mal ein #noAfD :fckafd: :fcknzs: Wähler einen Account auf mastodon.de gemacht - dieser wurde eine Stunde nach AfD-apologistischen Aussagen von der Plattform gebannt (auf der Basis von Desinformation und Volksverhetzung)
Nach 232 Usern kann sowas mal vorkommen, dennoch finde Ich es erschreckend, dass sich Menschen dieser „politischen Gesinnung” auf unserer Plattform wohlfühlen oder im Fediverse glauben einen sicheren Raum zu haben.
mastodon.de :transfeminism: ist :antifa: und :antifa_100: wird :trantifa: für :QueerCat_Trans: immer :nona: unpolitisch :verifiedCommie: und :antinazi: überparteilich :fckafdp: sein.
Ansonsten:
Diskussionen mit Personen, die ganz offenbar kaum die Grundschule geschafft haben und selbst noch andere über Themen kritisieren, von denen sie keine Ahnung haben, bringt hier auch nichts, wie auch zuvor auf X.
Evtl. kurz richtigstellen, wenn sprachlich höflich formuliert (wie hier), und dann sofort blocken.
#Twitter...the House That @ Jack Built, who has built yet another house (#Bluesky) to welcome the siphoned-off ultraright fanboys of #Elmo and the complicit media and journalists who are still posting clickbait on the #DeadBirdSite.
All going to plan.
Still posting on #X?!?--Then you are complicit in the international rise of #fascim.
It is that simple!
Elon Musk's recent acquisition of Twitter came with promises of free speech. Yet, allegations of like count manipulations on critical posts have raised eyebrows. @hoblon tool tracks likes on a specific tweet by Pekka Kallioniemi @P_Kallioniemi (VatnikSoup) critiquing Musk, to observe any unusual changes in real-time.
Interesting to see how "likes" are disappearing in packs of 12k or so in 5 mn, and repeatedly so...The worst being over 24k vanishing in 5 mn on October 3.
New report shows advertisers fleeing X after Elon's transformation of the formerly thriving Twitter community into a churning toilet of white supremacist propaganda, Nazi bootlickers, anti-vaxx nonsense, and anti-trans hatred. https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N3BA253
@stevesilberman and well they should. #Twitter, since #Elmo took over, has become a steaming pile of hate, racism, misogyny, and antisemitism. It is a ramped up version of #FauxNews
An american businessman with 159 million followers tweets to make fun of the Ukrainian president for trying to raise support for his country to prevent the genocide of his people.
Seriously: Boycott this sad excuse of a man and all the products he is pushing.
I haven't been in Twitter for awhile and I'm pushing a big fundraiser so figured it's a waste of resources to not push there, while I still have access to it.
But in this time I was away, owner of the platform has gone from "I pretend to support Ukraine" to full "I'm gonna spread russian propaganda openly and try to get you all killed by withdrawing support"
For the love of God, please try to get your friends to switch to whatever, even Threads will be better at this point.
Dear Twitter users. Your support of a social media platform that welcomes and pays for far-right content is NOT the fault of capitalism. No one is forcing you to post cat pics on the fascist-friendly dead bird site. This is YOUR decision and history won't judge it kindly.
@dangoodin
At this point, anyone posting any content on #X* is collaborating with the most powerful #fascist globally, #Elmo.
There will be no "I didn’t know."
If you still don't. Put in the work. It's not privileged information.
Despite having fewer followers and similar content, I have far more interactions, more qualitative relationships with contacts, and more engagements.
If you put in the work and try to make new friends, there is no "shouting into the void."
