The brands are right. No one gives a f—k about X anymore, and no one will be outraged when you — yes, you, Elon Musk — have finally killed it. The days of serial tweeters like me lamenting the days of Twitter Classic are over. We’ve gone elsewhere and use X only sparingly, and only as a necessary evil. Without us, and without any advertising support, X will soon make no money of any sort, and you’ll be left only with the occasional $8 a month from @FreedomBob69. Oh wait, but here’s more reality for you, Elon! The Cybertruck is already not only a laughingstock, it’s also barely existent on the eve of its launch and, by your own admission, won’t turn a profit until a year and a half from now at the earliest. The Boring Company, established to make the Hyperloop a reality, has only built a glorified parking ramp in Vegas after burning through nearly $800 million in VC funding. Tesla’s revenues are sinking as the big automakers roll out their own EVs that are more appealing than your four-wheeled bachelor pads. Your company SpaceX will fail in its doomed mission to make humans a multiplanetary species, and its rockets won’t stop blowing up. And your biography sucked. So it’s over for you, Elon Musk. You are a public failure of a man. You’ll still be rich, but you no longer matter. That’s all you really wanted out of this, wasn’t it? You bought Twitter because you thought that owning it would make you the most special person in the whole wide world, only to reveal yourself as an unremarkable s—thead with no good ideas. You drove everyone away, including the companies that could have propped up your reputation for another five minutes. Whether you’ll ever understand this is of no concern to me, or to anyone else. You’ve shared your bucket, and it has nothing but holes in it. So, for Bob Iger, and for the rest of humanity, let me say: Go f—k yourself, Elon. Go. F—k. Yourself. Is that clear?
The end of Elon Musk

Twitter is now paying people to spread hate
Reminder: if you’re still on Twitter—your presence and your interactions generate revenue. You’re literally funding the alt right.

If you think Tumblr staff is secretly full of terfs and racists, why are you here instead of somewhere else? Do you think that every community is secretly full of terfs and racists? Because not to gaslight or anything but that's not a core belief that you should expect most other people to share with you.

If you needed a reason to delete your Twitter account (as if there weren't a metric ton already) the link above should be reason enough to do it. If you are paying for blue or gold checkmarks in that RNGesus forsaken site you are actually funding and endorsing hate and bigotry. If you are using Twitter even if you aren't paying for it you are silently enabling hate and bigotry to spread. If you are an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community act now and delete your twitter account, send a clear message that you won't use a service that allows the spread of harmful messages, misiniformation, hate, bigotry and it is dangerous.

This AI generated image of Taylor that's been going around on Twitter is really pissing me off.
Really glad I deleted my Twitter account and highly recommend everyone else deletes it too, especially since Elon is apparently fine with letting this type of vile "content" go viral on his 💩 platform.
Absolutely disgusting. Just disgusting.

By the way, if you’re still on the former bird site, now might be a good time to make a complete departure, including deactivating accounts. Elon went full mask-off and started reblogging Nazis and pushing their hashtags.
So yeah, if you don’t want to be associated with white supremacists, anti-semites, and neo-Nazis, or to be funding them through ad impressions, now is the time to go.

The grifters that make up the troll-industrial complex are not okay. "One can see the sheen of desperation in the world of self-identified conservatives who make a living by "triggering" the liberals. The usual dose of outrage bait isn't working as well any longer, so the right-wingers are escalating the provocations. Tucker Carlson, for example, gave a glow-up interview with manosphere "influencer" Andrew Tate, who is being held in Romania on charges of sex trafficking and rape. Daily Wire anti-trans provocateur Matt Walsh is selling plushies of himself clad only in a diaper, which he encourages people to give to children. Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro, on the other hand, made a nearly hour-long video tantrum about "Barbie," complete with setting the dolls on fire. The clawing need to get attention from progressives seems to be driving these engagement farmers a little nuts, as they up the weird-and-evil ante, hoping to get those precious clicks and plays. [...] "The escalation of shock value tactics, on both the right and the pretending-not-to-be-right political classes, are likely rooted in the same cause: The slow motion collapse of Twitter, now rebranded "X," under the leadership of Tesla CEO Elon Musk. While these folks have various outlets, both in the media and social media, ultimately their business model of trolling depends heavily on Twitter. "Grifters need people to harass and a mainstream discourse to counter. As traffic takes a nosedive and Twitter becomes less a part of the conversation, it's going to be harder for these folks to make money," Melissa Ryan, a strategist who helps counter online disinformation, told Salon.
"They need us. We don't need them:" The fall of Twitter is making the trolls and grifters desperate
The clawing need to get attention from progressives seems to be driving these engagement farmers a little nuts, as they up the weird-and-evil ante, hoping to get those precious clicks and plays.

"What Musk has proven through his actions and his statements is that he's committed to serving the trolls and the fraudsters first and the ordinary good faith users second," explained Brian Hughes of American University, who is the co-founder of the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab (PERIL). But, he noted, Musk is "blinded by his own ideology" and can't see how this is backfiring. "As normal people, for lack of a better term, continue to leave Twitter, that's actually going to cause probably a reduction in the use of the platform by these trolls and these fraudsters. They don't have their audience of targets that they need," he continued.
(bolding mine)
HAHAHAHAHAHA die mad about it, trolls. Full offense.

China is joining Russia as part of an axis of misinformation in trying to influence American elections.
Rachel Maddow referenced this article in her report from the nonpartisan Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD). It's worth a look.
Much Ado About ‘Somethings’
Being a democracy can be a disadvantage in the digital age. Malefactors can easily manipulate information to attempt to achieve dubious goals.
We need to retaliate against China and Russia. But spamming such populations under totalitarian rule would not have the same impact that it does in democracies. But we could try to punch holes in the firewalls such countries erect around their own information infrastructure. Let the breeze of free information occasionally flow and permit Russians to know about Putin's war crimes in Ukraine and let Chinese see Xi's genocide against the Uygurs in Xinjiang.
What people can do here is get off of Twitter/X and urge others to do the same. Under megalomaniac billionaire Elon Musk, misleading information and hate speech have grown exponentially on the platform.
Old habits die hard and some people have a preternatural attachment to tweeting. But as we see in Rachel Maddow's piece and in the FDD article, Twitter/X is responsible for an inordinate amount of misinformation. It's time to starve the beast one account at a time.

Everyone should absolutely delete their twitter account though. I promise you, Tumblr and Reddit are keeping close tabs on this shit. There's nothing you'll get watching it live and keeping it alive longer that you won't get from a secondhand source. You'll still see every stupid thing that ass clown posts.

The ritualism of cancelling is so fucking weird, like are people really no longer listening to Kanye because he's gone nuts? Like... I haven't listened to anything other than weeb music in months this isn't my horse to bark at, but is there some guy who Kanye West was his daily driver and he's now like "Damn, I guess I'll listen to bootleg 4'33 for a while instead."
Or is that just memes?

I will say it again:
If you pay for Twitter/X blue or Golld you are financing hate, racism, lgbtqia-phobia and bigotry running wild in that site.
If you use Twitter/X you are silently endorsing all the hate, racism, lgbtqia-phobia and bigotry running wild in that site. YOU are part of the problem if you are willingly using Twitter/X knowing its owner is a rampant and blatant transphobic racist. I deleted my twitter more than a year ago and it was the right decision, lf you don't delete your account then at this point I have no simpathy or respect for you anymore.
