Young Freud posted:Elon reactivated Trump's account... Trump said "nah, I'm not going back" in his usual weird, brain-rotted way. Twitter replies seem confident - although I haven't seen a source - that Trump can't actually return to the platform due to contractual obligations with Truth Social.

It would be really funny if some disgruntled twitter engineer got into the database and deleted all of that account’s follows, rendering it worthless even if he logged back in and tweeted

Aside from having his extremely dedicated superfans, the entire political world and much of the news media is eagerly hanging on his every word. Having all his followers deleted wouldn't really slow him down at all. Which is also why I think it's entirely plausible that he's not coming back to Twitter despite his account being unbanned. He doesn't actually need a Twitter account to have a wide reach.

All 52 tweets of it. I was talking to if someone really wanted to hurt Twitter with the loose copyright restrictions, they'd upload a Disney property, especially something that's airing on Disney + or even in theaters.

If that's the case, the trumpy Twitter clone would be a direct beneficiary.

You can find people skilled enough to run Twitter, and you can find people debased enough to work for Elon Musk at Twitter. You cannot find skilled people debased enough to work for Elon Musk at Twitter. The only way he saves this is if he bows out completely and tosses the keys to someone, anyone, who is not him, and his ego won't let him do it.

The app side is already starting to flake out: on my Android tablet, non-cached images and videos are taking much longer to load, but PC looks like normal. Also, people are beginning to notice the exodus and when their followers and engagement begin slipping, they'll start looking for where they are going and start planning their own moves.

I can only imagine the remaining competent people at Twitter, presuming any are still there, are frantically slapping ducttape on things as bits and pieces shake loose and break down, all while Musk just keeps on postin' about postin'.

There's no way trying to get actual work done at Twitter now is not the best way to get Musk screaming at you about whatever cocaine brained ideas he has this time about how you're sabotaging him.

Musk reactivated Kanye West, Trump and now Project Veritas. I think he's going to lean in on causing as much strife and chaos as possible and just post that crying with laughter emoji over and over. That's the full extent of his strategy.

I'm looking at Hive and Mastodon and .Social and I'm reminded once again how after Trump and his cronies got kicked off of Twitter they immediately created a replica of Twitter instead of this leftist response of fracturing into a half dozen websites that are kinda like twitter but not really.

It is an omnipresent issue that 'leftist' comprises a massive amount of different groups largely united by the other guys being awful and unified. It is a lot easier to rally behind gently caress You than 'I want things to be different' where different can be somewhere between 'maybe we shouldn't murder gay people' to 'debating if eating the rich alive is ethical' It is also why fracturing is so much more effective sn attack method.

Did they immediately create a replica of Twitter? I remember them fracturing just as much, into Gab and Parler and Truth and Voat and maybe one or two others and all of them have faceplanted by now or at least aren't relevant to The Discourse on nearly the level that Twitter is

This is just selective memory. First off, the right fractured into plenty of sites as well, including several Mastodon instances (of which Truth Social is one). The media just focuses on the one Trump is on. Second off, all these social media sites aren't a "leftist response", they're just "the response". These Twitter alternatives are being run by people of all types, from capitalist liberals to free-software libertarians.

Yeah, the conservatives have set up Gab, Parler, MeWe, Truth Social, Gettr, and Thinkspot, just to name a few. TruthSocial mostly got momentum thanks to Trump.
