Twitter still hasn't replied to my suspension appeals. They must be getting so many fucking appeals lmao.
Also I'm not trying to get my old account back so I can go back to twitter full time. I just want screenshots of Wil Wheaton's wife getting mad at me.
Does Elon already own it? has the deal gone through?
hmmm Idk if I should wait a little longer before I make an account, clearly he hasnt had time to cleanse the company and change the product
@asa @coolboymew Elon musk taking over isn't going to make the site any less shit.
@triodug @asa Not totally sure, there's massive obvious SJW at the helm and if he gets rid of all that crap, it would definitively get better
@coolboymew @asa it's still going to have all the insufferable losers that it has always had. Just because you can say the N word more often doesn't mean the people that make that site a hellhole will just disappear.
I left the site because the site itself was against me, I can just block the people I dislike or not engage with them or be around the hashtags they inhabit
@asa @coolboymew that's not gonna stop the algorithm pushing those insufferable people on your page non stop. You may block one but 4 more will take their place. Thinking meme man buying the site will do anything other than Garner attention for him is just short sighted. Nothing will change. Twitter is long gone and was shit even before the horrible moderation changes.
He didnt spend 40 something billion gazillion for nothing, I trust he will fix the algorithm and make it open source and maybe even move twitter towards ActivityPub / OStatus or whatever fedi uses.

He didnt spend 40 something billion gazillion for nothing

you’re absolutely right, and that’s why this:

I trust he will fix the algorithm and make it open source and maybe even move twitter towards ActivityPub / OStatus or whatever fedi uses.

is wrong

I don't believe he is making this move with the intent of making money, I don't even know if twitter is a profitable business, but surely there is better ways of investing 40+ billion usd.

Elon has fuck you money, but I don’t believe anyone invests tens of billions of dollars with no expectation of a return. There’s also far more effective ways to altruistically spend 40 billion.

Twitter is not currently profitable afaik

Twitter is the main forum in the planet, I don't know if there is more effective ways to altruistically spend 40 billion, the effect that having a fair system in the main communication platform could have in the world is big.

And I dont think Elon cares about making money, he had more money than he or his descendants will ever need at age 20

Twitter is important but it’s not 40 billion important. Imagine what you could do for fedi with $40 billion, it’s not even funny. Elon could build up fedi with $0 just by using it…

@ademan @asa @coolboymew @triodug think about the AI training data they have in their history and you'll realise what Elon is paying for
