This might be one of Twitter’s automatic security features I’d heard about a while back (prior to the Musk takeover). Supposedly, Twitter stops accounts from getting a large amount of followers in a short amount of time to try to limit botting. Sometimes, rarely, it can trigger when a large amount of real people follow a real account.
I think I heard about it when I ran into the issue myself, but I don’t remember what account it was that I was trying to follow.
Go away with your sensible explanations, we have conspiracy to uncover.
Musk and trump could share a deserted island outside the shipping lanes of the pacific and make the western hemisphere a calmer more peaceful place
Or share a small dark prison cell just about anywhere and have the same, if not better, effect.
I’ve got a wall they could share
Just don’t give them a rope.
They could both live on musk’s mars colony, the first rockets are set to start as early as 2018!
I’m ashamed to say that when he was talking about that originally, I was gullible enough to think a one-way Mars trip would be worth doing.
I mean, I still think that, in the abstract, if we could make a good plan and trust the people back home. But I did not understand what massive pieces of shit billionaires all were and what a terrible idea it would be to volunteer for humanity’s very first off-world company town.
The fantasy of a pioneering life on Mars is an easy one to love, especially if we assume it’s actually well enough established that you have all the excitement of Frontier life and none of the struggle to survive. It’s not gullibility, it’s hope.
Then we think about it and ask ourselves what worker abuses Musk has perpetrated here on earth, and what would he do when Earthly laws can no longer apply. The more I think about what it would be like in the SpaceX Mars Colony, the more dystopian it gets.
I would expect somewhat of a struggle to survive even in a well-run Mars colony, but otherwise I agree in general.
And I don’t think we even need to look at Musk’s personal history, just any knowledge of what capitalists have done any time they’ve had access to a captive workforce. It’s pretty clear they wouldn’t be pioneers, they’d be prisoners.
Yeah but make sure they cant build a way back here first
Fuck that, keep him over the in the Atlantic.
Why is anyone still on, “The Social Media Platform Formerly Known As Twitter” ?
Preaching to the choir.
Its still twitter. You can’t take the twit out as long as a twit owns it.
People big enough to have a staffed social media team will stilk have an Xitter account just because it is a viable vector to get news out. They may also have Truth Social account, just because it’s there.
I agree with you and I will not let them off the hook. They have no legitimate excuse to be using racist, misogynist, transphobic, homophobic, bigoted right-wing platforms.
Do they also have a stormfront account? Fuck anyone who contributes to fascist owned platforms just because they are there.
Well put.
I don’t mind them having account there. They need to reach people where they are after all. I’m pissed at them for not being on any platform that is not owned by a fascist enabler oligarch at best.
It’s funny (scary) how the police and fire department never post to thir own websites about important timely information and updates.
It’s in twitter and Facebook. I use neither anymore. Because obvious reasons.
This week, I could only find reference to the smell of natural gas covering half our city via a news site that quoted the FD’s twitter.
Great work, guys!
Can we please kick this dweeb back to Canada or Africa?
I don’t think I’ve ever said the phrase “Go back to Africa” unironically (as in outside of making fun of racists) in my life, but here we are.
Go back to Africa Elon…
At least I said it to a white guy.
Hey, don’t you dare try to pawn him off on us, bud.
Maybe the reason Elon broke every part of Twitter was just so he has plausible deniability while he meddles with everything and desperately tries to get his name in every discussion.
😂 Space Karen
Ew I. Accidently clicked on a twitter link I ieel so dirty
Trump’s going to be mad that x is becoming a direct competitor to truth social
Shocker
Trump is always trending, Kamala randomly dropping from 4m posts to 8k, then a new “tag” is up full of magatards. Once the discource changes to mostly positive, repeat. Also, ruzzian propaganda is being boosted so…
…so it’s like it was during the hunter biden laptop story and covid?
What do they even expect? They know who’s site they are using.
The remaining users are 100% in denial that it’s a Nazi website now.
Nah a lot of them are just actual Nazis.
prolly fake news but i would not be surprised.
telsatubby could be trying to make up his losses on a bad trade, we’ve all been there.
Teslatubby
K, thats it!!!
This is my new fave nickie for Elmo
Keep being transparent as fuck, Space Karen
🤣
I agree this is of questionable veracity, but could you imagine if for example fb users had trouble following Trump? There would be a whole news cycle culminating in a congressional hearing. When people talk about the asymmetrical standards that conservatives are held to vs liberals in the media this is a prime example.
This is what happens when trying to give equal platforming to buttcracks on top of shoulders. They shit all over everything and dont understand why the mic was taken from them. They dont understand why we can post about single payer healthcare and they can’t say immigrants deserve to die. They think all ideals are equal on the battlegrounds of legislature.
Correction: some of them truly know why. However, they are trying to see what they can get away with, like a toddler testing their boundaries (“but why can’t I have dessert instead of dinner!?”). It is our fault if we fall prey to their BS.
The only thing required for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing.
Those that are dumb far outweigh the manipulators. Get the dumb ones educated and the manipulators will lose their grasp. Or so I’d like to believe…
This is what the original founders of the United States of America believed, but that did not last long.
Separately, ignorance is different than obstinacy - the former is easily curable but I have never heard of anything ever that can possibly cure the latter.
Anyway, you could have the most amazing endgame chess move ever planned out, but if you can’t get to it then it’s useless. The Republicans are winning so much lately bc they are playing the game as it is, not as they wish it could be in some fantasy scenario. If we want to beat them then it will take equal effort than they have put in for decades while liberals seem to have simply gone to sleep.
He posted a picture on his stream of the error message “There’s a problem here” over the Biden/Harris campaign page, so at very least he’s trolling instead of taking his job seriously. Twitter is his private platform so whatever, but it’s another reminder that Musk will not be impartial and is actually pouring millions into the Trump campaign, so if you’re still there now would be a good time to leave.
Why in the fuck did Biden announce his resignation on that platform?
Because, out of all the platforms available (Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit, Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.), Twitter is the place where the news will spread the fastest.
I’m afraid people on Twitter will never leave it no matter what
Technically everyone left Twitter because Twitter doesn’t exist anymore.
If you ever wonder why the people you know seem to be better friends with each other than with you, or why they look away while talking with you, or why they always seems to excuse themselves after interacting with you for only a very short time, this post is why.
That person had a family… granted, based on this post, they probably didn’t like them much…but good grief…lmfao
I left
When? I meant if they’re there now, they probably won’t leave
at very least he’s trolling instead of taking his job seriously
Let’s be real, there’s nothing he personally could do to fix this issue. He just plain doesn’t have the skills.
Yo it was a good time to leave back when he bought it. It was a good time again when he dumped moderation. It was a good time again when he changed the name to X. Really its always been a good time to leave. Anyone who hasn’t left by now has already ignored so many signs not even Ace of Base can help them.
You nailed it. I left Twitter the day he took over, haven’t looked back once. Anyone still using it is perfectly fine with the dumpster fire and can burn in it.
Anyone who hasn’t left by now has already ignored so many signs not even Ace of Base can help them.
LOL
No surprise.
