Sankis posted:oh cool and I'm sure that one person is definitely going to still be there in a little while. it's definitely not the kind of job that has huge turn over, or the kind that involves seeing the worst of humanity so much that suicide is a prevalent issue. I'm sure that single person is also going to get the support they will desperately need from Twitter. That’s loving bleak, I want to see Twitter fall apart in funny ways, not that poo poo, what the gently caress If Elon wants to speedrun getting the app delisted on iOS that’s certainly one way to do it

Entropic posted:That’s loving bleak, I want to see Twitter fall apart in funny ways, not that poo poo, what the gently caress Yeah, it's extremely loving bleak and all of social media exists only because there are people who sell their mental wellbeing and do that job. If you ever want to get even angrier at Facebook, et al there are a few articles like this from a few years ago. TW: they talk about some TRULY awful stuff. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/facebook-content-moderators-say-they-receive-little-support-despite-company-n1266891 https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/facebook-content-moderation-is-an-ugly-business-heres-who-does-it/

He can bully some companies with threats of "I'll get appointed to your board and fire you mr. CMO!!!" but he can't do that to Apple so hes having a tanty. Unironically I think the share value of Tesla will influence how comfortable companies are with ditching twitter.

He doesn't think dictators are necessarily objectionable because he wants to be one. The most democracy anyone would get on Musky Mars would be twitter polls on decisions he'd already made.

Does a private company need to disclose global turnover? e: eh the law would probably force them to do it I guess

I have a feeling if Twitter has a negative global turnover they are just going to be switched off here. There is a war amongst Conservative MPs between the very LOUD rabid right wingers who love themselves an American Nazi and the “but what about decorum can’t we go back to using our inside voices” faction. Both sides like money.

I don't know if they'd go after twitter because the politics seem right up their alley. OFGEM seem like they might be alright but would they be able to touch twitter for the 1000 quid it'll get them?

They got around that by weasel wording that you could argue transphobia is about feelings and made it about sexism, racism, and child suicide. It is a very terfy law but if Twitter has no moderation and freeze peach policies then they hosed anyway.

The UK government doesn't care about hate speech being moderated online. It only cares about people telling MPs and other rich tories to gently caress off and die.

If you keep doing LSD over and over it turns into kind of a crappy stimulant which has probably also made you into a very weird person. I did this for a few months when I was 17, can't imagine doing it as an adult, let alone the head of 3 large companies, but what do I know about how to be rich properly?

So everyone is acting like delisting twitter from the app store effectively kills it for people using it on Apple devices but that's not strictly true, right? I have a twitter account and I've never actually used the app - I only ever use the mobile web interface, and that's still going to work. I guess you lose things like notifications and whatnot but it sounds like those are kind of hosed right now anyway. What's really stopping Elon just going "Fine, delist it, everyone just use the web interface now and go loving nuts because there's dick all Apple can do about it"?

I think for a lot of people it's just more convenient, and if they aren't power users a small inconvenience will be enough to make them use it less or leave altogether.

Subs can only be purchased through the Apple Store I think, and it would be a kick in the nuts to lose the predominant way by which people use apps and purchase things on an iPhone.

Yeah, I mentioned before, but Twitter's website isn't just a website, it's actually an incredibly good Progressive Web App, which means when you pin it to your home screen on iOS or Android it actually 'installs' and looks a lot like a native app experience can do things like background notifications and other native app features.

I mean sure you can but if I've learned anything it's that the more inconvenient you make something the more people stop trying to access it, and move on to other things. It's like when a right wing psychos gets de-platform they lose a ton of relevance. They can be found a lot of other places but who wants to bother?

Everything is fine, he's going to be more popular than ever! Elon Musk set to become number-one influencer on Twitter quote:Over the past 12 months, he has gained 268,303 followers a day, on average, according to Social Blade, and lost followers on only five days, which can all be linked to news events. I'm sure there are no bots involved in this at all

Wouldn't Twitter relying on the Web version rather than the app hit ad impressions, since it's much easier to filter out ads with browser extensions.

The more interesting thing in that article imo is that they remove advertising for the most popular 1000-or-so accounts. It makes sense, they're the product after all, you want to keep them happy and tweeting, but it means Elon never sees the advertising he is destroying.

I think that becoming unavailable as an app would not kill Twitter on the spot but would kill any future that Twitter might have had as a social media outlet of any significance. It'd survive in the same way that Livejournal survives.

Live journal was popular in the olden days, when people had to choose to look at things rather than the apps being installed on phones and tablets by default. It never had the cultural baggage twitter has built up by allowing incredibly lazy but incredibly prompt journalism.
