#elon lost nearly $40B on converting #Twitter to #trash.

His entire #fascist vogue right now is simply tantrums.

Yet another perfect example of how #equity does NOT translate to #leadership.

Das gestrige für Deutschland bei der ist erschreckend - ein massiver Gewinn für die Faschisten. Es wird dazu noch viele Analysen geben, aber hier ist eine Frage, die ich mir stelle:

Was ist unsere Social Media-Strategie um den effektiv zu bekämpfen?

Denn die Faschisten sind inzwischen sehr gut mit Social Media geworden, und holen die Jungwähler damit massenhaft ab, was uns allen große Sorgen machen sollte.

Und auch wenn es gut ist, daß hier auf und dem Faschisten systematisch ausgegrenzt werden (und ich begegne ihnen tatsächlich viel weniger als anderswo) - die "Daily Active Users" stagnieren hier schon seit längerem auf sehr niedrigen Niveau, und der Altersdurchschnitt der Benutzer ist auch ziemlich hoch. Nicht gerade toll, um die große Breite der Bevölkerung abzuholen - geschweige denn die Jungwähler.

Also sehe ich zwei Ansätze:

  1. Das Fediverse viel größer und populärer zu machen. Wie machen wir das? Keine Ahnung.

  2. Doch wieder auf die anderen Social Media-Plattformen - , , und sogar / #X - gehen und dort stärker gegen den Faschisten eintreten. Aber die Algorithmen dieser Plattformen begünstigt die Hetze der Faschisten, und manche der Besitzer dieser Plattformen (insbesondere Elon Musk) sind selber Faschisten.

Ich bin hier zugegeben etwas ratlos. Was meint ihr?

Die Wahlgewinner in den einzelnen Landkreisen. In Ostdeutschland war fast überall die AfD die stärkste Partei, während sonst fast überall die CDU oder CSU vorne lag. Nur in ein paar einzelnen Landkreisen lagen die Grünen vorne, und in noch weniger die SPD.

It’s 2024. Elon Musk Rules X. And the Political World Is Still Addicted.

"Two years after words like Mastodon, BlueSky, Post and Threads became rallying cries and users declared war on the blue check, those who made Twitter what it was in the days before Musk have returned to using X."

"Last year, Democratic candidates spent more than a million bucks on Twitter ads, The Washington Post reported."

One of the stupidest takes of #libertoloids (right-wing libertarians) is that you don't need laws or enforcement, that the only thing you need is a judge to resolve conflicts.

I never bothered to reply to them on #Twitter how idiotic this take was, for very two simple reasons:

  1. the judge has no executive power, so whatever their ruling is, it's ineffective if there's no executive power to enforce it.

  2. judges are corruptible.

Kind of regret not pointing 2. out, given the #SCOTUS sitch.

FYI: Minister just said they'll send a stern protest about this new policy.

Governments continuing to use threads to communicate important information during an emergency is certainly a choice.

I wonder if they are aware that users now need an account in order to see more than one post in the thread at a time?

Here's the City of Calgary with a 7-tweet thread on the massive water main break, of which only one tweet is viewable.

I enjoy watching #twitter struggle through a familiar pattern we all saw in the 90s on the internet: “Why Libertarian Moderation Doesn’t Work”.

It starts out with free speech but the right kind of free speech. The rest is fake or bots or trolls. Then we evolve into you are either friends with the moderator or you are again them.

Finally we end with the desperate plea of “we will allow pornography” except of course nobody is equipped to moderate that so within days someone will post something either horrifying or just against the law (revenge porn etc) and the entire operation collapses in on itself.

On the plus side the speed by which corporations will cancel their ad spend rather than run the risk that Coca-Cola posts are run next to fake celebrity pornography is going to really show us how fast Musk can speed run destroying a company. Fingers crossed it’s shut down by 2025 and I get to watch a documentary on its death.

Kind of poking around the interwebs these days trying to find out where I fit in modern-day #socialmedia

I went back to #twitter today... hah. Hahaha. Listen: I spent the last hour blocking or "I want to see less of this"ing the content that was on my main feed, and even though it claimed my feed would be 'made better', every time I refreshed I had more of the same content.

And it was almost entirely #conservative #republican #AmericanNews nonsense.

Gross.

So here I am... meandering around. flails arms wildly

Lasst mich raten: X möchte sich als wichtig verkaufen, indem sie ihre Useranzahl erhöhen und deten Aufenthalt bei ihnen verlängert wird. Mal sehen wie und wo deren Domain evt. zukünftig blockiert wird…

»X erlaubt jetzt offiziell Pornos auf der Plattform:
Pornografie und Nacktheit werden bei X (ehemals Twitter) schon lange geduldet. Jetzt hat die Plattform ihre Regeln dazu präzisiert und erlaubt diese offiziell.«

It's been suggested that with Elon Musk turning #Twitter into an X ... -rated pit of right wing disinformation and pornography, we're all actually living in a nearby timeline of the "Back to the Future Part II" forked timeline where Biff Tannen had turned 1985 Hill Valley into a pit of depravity.

This seems accurate.
