        It said basically the equivalent of musk should piss on the 3rd rail. Mods arbitrarily removed my comment, probably because it included the phrase ‘kill himself’, while allowing these various replies that aren’t qualitatively different. Mods do need to feel important.

        Check out the mod log.

        Just looked: regardless of your personal opinion the comment is a breach of the terms of posting. It essentially said Musk should permanently retire himself from life.

    No no, guys, you’re misunderstanding. He MEANS there’s too much negativity from people saying things like “X sucks since musk bought twitter…”

    He’s going to change those people’s tweets to say “X is great!”

    And by that I mean he’s going to have a team to edit tweets that he doesn’t like!

    If that’s not free speech, then Musk doesn’t know what is!

      This has nothing to do with Twitters image. He could have enforced that decision sooner if it was. This is about Trump. The negativity was helpful during Bidens presidency. Now that Trump is about to take over everything has to look like the world is happy again. It’s political manipulation.

    Mate, the bunting looks awfully like swastikas…

    But happy, less negative swastikas, right?

    Sure.

    What an unserious human Musk is.

    X/Twitter is a misinformation platform. If you know a major influencer that uses, consider informing and directing them to the ActivityPub alternatives and even consider advertising on their platforms if you can.

          Blue sky (and just about anything else) is an improvement, but remember, there is no bottom, things can always be worse. Truth Social and Gab both still exist.

          These websites, because they are all centralized, are all ultimately moderated in accordance with the whims of their owners, the effect of which was thrown into sharp relief after Apartheid Willy Wonka bought Twitter.

          With a federated platform like Mastodon, no single owner would be able to do this. If an instance suddenly became terrible, they could be de-federated and they’d lose their reach.

          Of course, if one instance became particularly large, the ‘whims of the owner’ problem would come right back, but at least the alternatives would still be readily available.

      I like how you say “that uses” instead of “that uses it” because the former generally implies drug use.
