- jet kid banned
- anyone Musk doesnt like = banned (especially politicians who would raise his taxes, banned first day edit Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders permaban)
- gimmick accounts like Devin Nunes Cow = absolutely banned
- any negative reference to Musk or his companies = straight to the ban
- getting banned from Twitter = banned from anything Musk related (i.e. Starlink, Tesla, maybe Paypal who loving knows)
- somehow even more racist/bigoted under the guise of free speech
- absolute harebrained, possible criminal method of gathering user info to 'verify' users
- tiered user levels / subscription model, maybe even a way to pay to delete someone else's tweets

and as a free spot in Musk Twitter Bingo - some new feature Musk insists be implemented from Day One exposes a massive security breach that staggers the company, losing >10% of its value within seven days of final sale.

Elon said he wants to come out with an Edit Tweet feature but when someone asked him about how it would work he basically just described delete and repost

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

We'll all have to watch that Wario SNL clip in order to tweet, and they'll use some kind of facial recognition software to ensure you actually laugh at it.

If you don't laugh then twitter automatically tweets that you're a pedophile.

For those not in the know, Tumblr Blaze, quite possibly the site's first successful way to make money, was implemented last week or so. It allows users to spend :10bux: to blast a sfw shitpost to 2500 completely random users.



A group of catholic tradwives did a big blast to gain conversions, but their ads are getting dunked on and the mockeries are getting reblogged far more than the originals. Tumblr gets its money either way so they don't care, and the community gets new content organically - an advertising whale fall.

TBH it'll probably something stupid like LinkedIn surging to prominence. People already love it as Facebook-lite and it has a corporate veneer of believability. They could even take a giant throwback move from Facebook and require a corporate email address to create an account :v:

The next Twitter is going to be something not on anybody radar at the moment. It'll be something like a website designed to share knitting patterns or figting game character tier lists or other stuff that's impenetrable to outsiders that has a small but dedicated user group who use it for a bit more than was intended and then in the days when Twitter is burning, it winds up breaking out.

What I'm saying is if Jeffery plays his cards right, Something Awful can be weirdly relevant again.

Encouraging the French to revolt is like encouraging the Mongolians to form a horde. Seems a little culturally insensitive for our republican representatives tbh

It's going to be funny when whatever safe, corporate-backed Twitter alternative immediately replaces Twitter, but everyone still calls shortform microblogging "tweeting" and then "tweet" and "a twitter" just become generic terms like "googling".

while this explanation is accurate I feel like it undersells the impact of how widely the tradcaths got dunked on

tumblr user paula-of-christ sponsored this post, to which the response was KUNG POW PENIS



she operated a catholic ask blog which has been shut down because having your ask box is open is not a useful endeavor once the swarm turned against you



the net effect is that an apparently thriving subnetwork of weird tradcath tumblrs were revealed to exist and have been run off the site. i love this hellsite

When the foundation of your house is rotten and crumbling, you don't retile the kitchen floor and call it a day; you fix the foundation. In the 1960s, we retiled the floor by addressing many of the effects of systemic racism, but we left the foundation to continue rotting and maga is the result.

I hope he renders Twitter worthless and that 50 billion is just flushed down the toilet.

He just needs to do that eight or nine more times and he'll only be 106 times richer than me, instead of 107 times.

the outcomes here are:

1) Musk fucks around for a month, gets bored, fucks off. Status quo prevails.

2) against all odds, musk somehow makes twitter better. A win.

3) Musk makes twitter actively and significantly worse. Users leave, site relevance plunges, Twitter dies a slow death. Also a win

4). elon makes twitter worse but it keeps on going because of inertia. everything gets worse but probably ends with 3.
