Does #Elmo even know what he pledged his allegiance to?
Probably not.
Just 4U, Elmo, the 12 Core Socialist Values:
"the national values of
"prosperity",
"democracy",
"civility" and
"harmony";
the social values of "freedom",
"equality",
"justice" and the
"rule of law";
and the individual values of "patriotism",
"dedication",
"integrity" and
"friendship"."*
There’s that word again. Fun. It’s more “fun” than Mastodon. Says who? Not me that’s for damn well sure. I’m having a ball here and so’s everyone I follow for the most part. I humbly suggest if Mastodon doesn’t feel “fun” to you, you are doing it wrong.
@gedeonm at #twitter 30% of my time was wasted by blocking trolls, nazis, terfs, magas, rubbish, stupidity, hate, ads etc.
Many ppl i liked there already went more and more silent by the time since #elmo sunk in and the rest was simply shown to me less and less and was hidden behind too much garbage. Plus the algorithm turned it into a hysteric kindergarten on too many drugs. There was no fun anymore and i deleted my account then.
Twitter is currently decapitated, again. Everyone needs to GTFO such a totally f$cked platform. 🤬 🐦🔫
I put the "full text" of the note in the screenshot alt text, so read that if desired.
I've also seen that the hosting company in question is Google, not AWS. And yeah, it's a Twitter link. Too bad. Sorry. Suck it up & look, or don't. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I think Twitter is an automated Skinner Box and we are the rats in an experiment run by Elon.
Let me explain:
Classical Conditioning is associative. Pavlov's Dog is a prime example. Show the dog food and ring a bell. The dog salivates. Keep doing that and soon enough just ringing the bell is enough to make the dog salivate.
I feel like even the people who dislike Musk are putting too much stock into the genius supervillain narrative. It's highly unlikely he's slowly executing some pre-thought out plan to shift Twitter far right. He's a naïve socially-inept billionaire manchild who got radicalized by a bunch of alt-right grifters. It's as simple as that. No master plan, no 4d chess, just someone who never underwent any real emotional development.

Why #Twitter must not be profitable ever again and still generate a huge ROI for (some of) its investors
I agree that #Elmo isn't the "evil mastermind" some portray him to be.
But I respectfully dissent from your conclusion that there is no "masterplan" just b/c he's lacking the "evil genius." True, he's not.
He doesn't have to be. #Hitler was no #vonClausewitz either.
He and #JackDorsey definitely have a plan, though:
I find it amusing that the CEO of Reddit, evidently a socially challenged individual, thinks he can outsmart the nerdiest social network aficionados in the world: his site's moderators.
@danielpunkass
Took (me) well over a decade to realize but #Facebook #Twitter #Reddit
et al
are ALL basically
"Open Pit #PersonalData mines”
for those who own, control and administer their tech/corp infrastructures
Zuck subtle #Elmo iron fisted
Reddit CEO late to game already in progress
Yes, “greed” and “power" key issues but IMHO it's already too late. These co’s now own and control vast amounts of #data to fuel current and future #AI’s
To date, not a single document revealed has shown what people now falsely believe: that the US government and Twitter were working together to “censor” people based on their political viewpoints.
Why is that a viewpoint? #disinformation #TFG #matttaibbi #twitter #bunk#bs#crap#poo #elmo
i/: Now more seriously: I didn't know #Elmo got a face and a body transplant.
Damn, (s)he looks so much better now.
Billions seemingly can buy you a new body, even though not love.
A less damaged brain, it seems, is not on the menu so far. /i
Jack Dorsey is a predator. He watched Twitter become a fountain of disinformation that killed thousands during the first two years of COVID-19, and now he is promoting videos from RFK Jr.. For those unfamiliar, RFK has made a booming business of anti-vaccine misinformation, typically targetting immigrant communities and other vulnerable groups, with disastrous consequences. He is responsible for the death and disability of children here in the US. Dorsey knows this.
I do understand that.
However, he invested in 2014 according to @wikipedia.
Is he still? Is he a small minority shareholder?
I am more convinced by the day that the three #PayPals are still in on this together.
Built I do not want to jump to conclusions, regardless of how well they might coincidence with my hypothesis.
Today's #transphobic posts of @ jack are interchangeable with #Elmo's, strong evidence.
It's not cool to admit this but it sucks that I've spent 15 years building up an audience on this platform and then a billionaire bought it on a lark and turned it into a megaphone for the far right
...I've already commented on #BlueSky earlier this year.
In essence, my guess is that the #BorgSite is being kept alive, even as a zombie site, until #Elmo's #PayPal#Jack' s #BlueSky is running smoothly enough.--The #PayPal trio never really fell out.
