Yeah I don't assume it will, but Elon's pissing in systems and making arbitrary changes without evaluating how they all interact first.

It's not that hard to gently caress over interwoven systems pulling from shared code and API's if you're an idiot like Elon.

There is probably no one left who could do such an evaluation. If there was anyone capable of doing that in the first place, the number of possible interactions between systems and users may as well be infinite.

Also the song is about lovely toxic male behaviour (catcalling and being disrespectful to women in general)


So its actually on point for Elong because he "let the dogs out" by unbanning all the alt-right shithead misogynists

So I went and looked up the lyrics.

https://genius.com/Baha-men-who-let-the-dogs-out-lyrics

The song is actually about women calling men "dogs" for their disrespectful and overly sexualised behaviour.

I mean, sure it's probably been used by thousand of dickheads to bodyshame women. But the song itself seems to be the opposite of what we assume it's about.

People were talking about the trending feed or whatever being broken on twitter nowadays but for me it just distinctly reminds me of topics and posting styles that were constant on Trumps old twitter feed around the time he was president. Just very obvious RT produced Russian propaganda activity to try to discredit and make Putin enemies look as bad and terrible as possible and a bunch of single name+national flag emoji sockpuppet accounts going on endlessly about Right Wing boogeymen like Biden, Trudeau, Macron, Zelensky etc.....being terrible and identifying with some far right party somewhere in the world. It's just Elon once again boosting right wing bullshit and not an accident of just the site falling apart IMO. It wouldn't be that consistent at least from what I've witnessed.

If you want to hear how super awesome and courageous Vladimir Putin is for taking out American bioweapon labs in Ukraine or whatever and how despicable and awful and bumbling incompetent his enemies are twitter seems to be the place to go now if you don't feel like just throwing on Fox News or your countries local right wing propaganda equivalent.

lmao this is awesome. it's even funnier that he's so scared of AI when his brain has basically already been hacked by Twitter's algorithms to the point that he's constantly sweating over how big he can run his numbers. if he weren't so racist (you just know this motherfucker tells people he listens to all music "except Rap and Country") he'd have heard and taken to heart Rule #4 of Biggie's Ten Crack Commandments.

Wasn’t that his idea? Didn’t he say something about that previously, like it was his idea for the algo along with using people who pay for Verified/Blue as the signallers for trends and ranking replies. If lots of people have someone blocked they rank lower…
I can’t find it now because he’s said so many dumb things about twitter it’s hard to find a specific thing.

It owns that how poo poo as jack was as a person regarding the worst people on twitter, that the current lead is literally a junkie obsessing over all the worst aspects of being a serious twitter power via constantly checking his views and impressions and likes every day compulsively to see how many people like him and has made a hell of his own making.

Regardless of this particular interpretation, isn’t this literally what the alt right groypers and pepe avatars and british TERF squads have done for years to get leftists banned? Mass reporting, mass blocking, sockpuppet accounts…

I am sure leftists have done it too, but this is just a goose/gander sitch, the gently caress

Lol, its falling apart little by little.
Notifications are all hosed up. Dms sometimes dont update till you refresh the whole page. Feeds dont update for like 10 seconds and then suddenly do, making you lose track of what you are currently looking at.

This machine is rattleing so hard its throwing off parts and Elon fired all the mechanics who kept it together
