Someone pointed it out earlier but Elmo definitely has that complex some awkward edgelord nerds get where he thinks he is HILARIOUS because he's so edgy, and everyone needs to acknowledge it.

Like that's his entire schtick. Because he has zero self awareness he doesn't realize he is the biggest loving tool of all time.

If their plan for "solving" the bot problem is just blocking whole chunks of IP address space, that is some pathetic poo poo.

The adaptive rear wing scales are cool. The controller is a joystick but worse, but then it's presumably only meant for minor adjustments while the self driving would do the rest. The lights are excessive and distracting imo.

Is this something a VPN would get around? Because if so, I have to assume anyone capable of setting up bots knows what a VPN is and the only thing this accomplishes is banning non-bots who aren't that tech savvy.

So for leftist media organisations and politicians/public figures, when does it become unacceptably unprincipled to stay on Twitter? Does the good of broadcasting leftwing ideals to a wider audience outweigh the bad of supplying content and revenue-generating impressions for a billionaire on the far-right?

I left Twitter a few weeks ago. 10/10 decision, would leave again - but I am needing to put more effort into maintaining a diet of leftwing content and analysis. I suspect that some people would, quite understandably, not make this effort.

Guys I heard Melon Musk is a modern day Tony Stark, but I don’t recall - in which comic does Tony spend half his fortune to buy a cursed social network and then begs the Red Skull to please come post. Also Ironman reveals himself to be racist? And pays some black comedian to help with PR. Was that a Dan Slott run?

Something I posted in another thread:

Don't leave, make them ban you. Then appeal it. We are far past the point where account numbers or advertiser angst is going to have any effect, it's not a publicly-traded company any more - there's no shareholders or board of directors to reign Elon in.

Making them ban you makes just a little more work for the moderation team and costs Elon money.

We are past the point where those figures have an indirect effect on the price of publicly-traded shares, but they do have a more direct effect on revenue. Content —> Engagement —> Revenue. Even if you are posting good content, you are giving your followers more reasons to keep using the platform, and increasing the number of impressions Elon can sell to brands.

So Bernie or AOC or Corbyn or Jacobin or Novara Media are helping prop up a far-right billionaire’s business with each post they make. I think all those people/outlets are thoughtful enough that they recognise this is a bit of a Faustian bargain and they are concluding that for now, the reach and positive influence they can have on the platform outweighs the evil of helping make Elon richer (or, less poor, in the case of his investment in Twitter). But surely there is a line that the CEO of a company can cross before it’s too offensive to your principles that you can support their venture; after the “Prosecute/Fauci” thing I’m just wondering where that line is.

again screencap your enemies, repost your pals. making bad pages get less page visits and metrics is good.
