Wait he’s putting it into writing “we are allowing hate speech?” That’s like a pharmacy saying they’ll sell drugs out the back door to anyone but don’t worry buyers won’t get in store reward points.

temple posted:Twitter might glitch and go down for a bit but the goal isn't kill it. The goal is to monetize it. Elon wants to cut expenses and then put a premium on poo poo posting. The $8 verification is the latter and the firings is the former. He probably didn't expect 90% employee loss but he's the type to brag about gutting a business for efficiency sake. Paying for access could work, somethingawful does it. He'll pay to retain/rehire who he needs based on what breaks. I can see other companies doing something similar in the future. If the recession is deep enough, its probably a reality. Twitter was just the first major player to sell. But once a site sells, the userbase isn't a value in of itself, it will be coerced into being consumers. Many companies Musking their platforms would turn the commercial internet back into what it was when Something Awful started: a curiosity for affluent libertarian nerds that exists commensally on top of, and essentially at the mercy of, a state/military data infrastructure. The careers of most of the world's computer touchers will be destroyed, most of the ones left will work for . Countries outside the US sphere of influence would have no reason to make any of their poo poo interoperable with the internet at all and just have their own national/regional nets (or just go back to filing cabinets and fax machines). Maybe some people would think that's a good thing, but it would be the end of the internet as we know it. And for that reason, it won't happen.

Pretty sure making explicit nazi poo poo accessible, even if you have to go looking for it, makes Germany (among others) really loving litigious. So that should be fun.

Every time I start to feel sorry for the twitter employees I remember something horrible that they are responsible for. Like that time in 2020 when all the open intersex people were hounded off the site and ate permabans by terfs and a complicit mod team.

Holy poo poo I'm sure advertisers are THRILLED at this decision He really is the gestalt conciousness of every moron to ever inhabit the chan sites, with a Dunning Kruger complex and an ungodly amount of money. There is a part of me that feels like crashing Twitter is some money laundering scheme, but honestly he just seems hopelessly stupid and Presidential.

Beefed Owl posted:That's just interest Twitter has to pay a billion dollars in interest every year that doesn't even knock down the principle balance I’m guessing you mean profit? Because they had revenue of $5B last year and were on track for ~$4B this year. They had a couple decent years of over $1B in net profit but last 2 had losses in the hundreds of millions. So you’re right that it will be quite a lift to staunch the bleeding AND pay off that interest. Twitter is fairly big in terms of revenue imo, just small compared to other tech giants like FAANG.

Very curious as to how he'll define what's a negative/hate tweet. ....Not that it matters, as they definitely don't have the capacity to moderate jack poo poo at this point. Edit: Wait I got it it, a hate tweet will be anything that sends the little simps crying to @elonmusk. IBroughttheFunk fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Nov 18, 2022 |

Quid posted:What's the difference between max deboosted and demonetized and the shadowbanning that they were all crying about before? Shadowban is when you’re the only one seeing your tweets. Deboosting is pushing your replies and tweets to the very end of a thread and hiding it under “click to see more” or some variation of a warning that says this content is poo poo/dangerous/etc. im completely deboosted and if I reply to an Elon Tweet, I get 4 impressions in a span of like two weeks.

StrangersInTheNight posted:What's this now? I don't really use Twitter so I hadn't heard about this Terfs were attacking Caster Semenya during lockdown, hundreds of intersex people posted "excuse me no stop this you terfy scumbags" and they got mass reported by bots paid for by the Christian right and auto banned, none of them won appeals with humans even though they had said literally nothing worthy of a ban. It was all just a way of removing those posts from the site. Intersex woman named Dory kept coming back on new accounts to try to expose what was going on and kept eating bans for ban evasion.
