I'm sure the majority of people looking at embeds are not going to click through just to read the rest of that. Pointless addition.

It’s the whole reason why embeds are even a thing.

Small enough to scroll past and absorb at speed. That’s why people tweet

It’s going to settle into yet another clone of Facebook or Reddit or wherever the gently caress those screenshotted boomer arguments come from

Twitter is going to be the place where citizen journalists can publish their articles!

And by that I mean publish long rants about covid and minorities!

But you gotta subscribe to read the long incoherent rants of course. Can’t miss the chance of making a tiny grifting buck! Then complain to Elon that you’re not getting any engagement :ohdear:

What do you mean, Musk wants to turn the SF Twitter HQ into a homeless shelter, but alas his landlord won't let him

They would have come off better if they just said "Yyyyeah, it turns out a lot of our income comes from right wing grifters, so we've gotta protect our bottom line as a business."

I would have had much more respect for that, at least.

But instead that whole thing will become a meme.

it rules that this tab will be the opposite of what they're advertising it as - all the good tweets will be from unverified accounts in the tab they try to hide them on. nobody will want to read dogshit elon musk dicksucking and crypto scam tweets by the thousand, which is all that will be in the verified tab

Twitter already doesn't allow overt racism. Every single ban I've had has been for calling Elon White Trash, Red neck, or Honky, and we all know white south African slave owners are the real victims of racism

:laffo:

My guy, all you had to do was go "Of course racism is bad, but as I said we just launched so we don't have an established backend to handle that level of moderation scalability for such a large scale social media platform. However, we hope to have that infrastructure in a relatively short time frame to meet those global expectations; as combating hate speech is a core part of our values."

Instead he went full


Also hats off to Nilay for asking BASIC FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS and not just letting them get away with handwaving it away.
