elon bought twitter so he could have a safe space to air his terrible views because he was too much of a coward to do so otherwise

Slotducks posted:what does "DM reply to any message in the thread" mean? I'm guessing he means it will be like Discord, where you can click on a prior message to quote it as part of your reply. But it's Elon so it's probably going to catch on fire somehow.

About 8 years ago I tried to get my uncle to stop using Yahoo after that massive data breach scandal and gave up halfway through migrating everything to Google. Sometimes the horse just will not drink the loving water even when they're dying of thirst.

 Honestly I've felt like Leon literally bought Twitter to see Grimes DMs, so this seems like very circumstantial confirmation to me Was anyone worried about Leon reading their DMs before he tweeted that?

So basically the spam filled Twitter DMs are gonna finally do what iMessage, Instagram, WhatsApp, and pretty much every other messaging app has been doing for ages now! Elon just never stops innovating. Wow. Can’t wait to see the crypto bots threading their spam messages from now on

Empirical evidence so far suggests that cops are much happier shooting unarmed people than armed people. Perhaps you should keep your hand under your jacket to imply that you might have a gun?

Just make sure to do it in a relatively high per capita income area so that when your surviving family members sue the city, they can get a sweet payout.

It's clear that while Musk had his own, inchoate existing bigotries before, he's also maybe the most prominent case of someone being radicalized by the algorithm. And in record time too. He's gone from banning Alex Jones for spreading conspiracy theories about dead kids to engaging in them himself. He's also now mainlining Stormfront propaganda, which he didn't before. This is all because the far right are the only ones telling him he's brilliant now and he's in a feedback loop of positive engagement and polarization with them. I think I'm getting rid of my Twitter account, I was using it to lurk but I feel gross even being there.

an acid test means that you can verify that it works... what he's saying doesn't even make any sense. how do you even prove a negative? "i can't see your dms. because if a gunmen had a gun pointed at my head. i couldn't tell him" doesn't prove anything. it just means you made something up.

Darchangel posted:On another note, just because it's cathartic (I know they'll never actually see or read my posts - I'm not Blue) I've been calling Elon and the other idiots all sorts of names in replies, and not once has Twitter given me the "are you sure you want to say this" warning. I don't know if it's broken, or it's just given up on trying to keep me from saying bad words. The other day it was doing it for pretty mild swears. Now it's silent when I'm telling him to go gently caress himself. Isn't that the warning that says something along the lines of "most people aren't tweeting like this" which implies that now most people are tweeting for Elon to go gently caress himself raw.

i think he means the acid test of if the encryption works. which is, like, yeah that would be a good feature of the system: to work at the minimum expected level.

I mean I guess what he's going for is "theoretically I, Elon Musk, root user on Twitter, could read anybody's DMs if I wanted to. Only my inherent goodness and forbearance prevents me from doing so. But if you hold a gun to my head and tell me you'll shoot me unless I read someone's DMs, then I have motivation to break any of my personal boundaries and only the new encryption that you've put in will stop me." Which is like ... okay but we all know they're not going to pull the trigger if they've put in good enough encryption to prevent you from reading Grimes' DMs, and they're not exactly motivated by "wanting to kill you" as the carrot for making a good encryption algo. I THINK It's insane however you read it, it veers close to coherence but flies apart under its own centrifugal force
