But that’s how it is when you start wanting to have things. Now, I just look at them, and when I go away I carry them in my head. Then my hands are always free, because I don’t have to carry a suitcase.

That's the stated plan. They are testing this in the Philippines and New Zealand where any new accounts have to pay $1 a year to unlock posting, retweeting and likes.

malder posted:

Because all media has become screenshots or hot links to people's tweets on the topic, so if you want your stuff in the media you gotta post it on the nazi app.

Until they start paywalling just to view tweets, at which point it ceases to function as an aggregator of hot takes for public humiliation and the whole thing collapses.

even if the whole loving thing is computer controlled, a manual gear-shift between N, D, P, and R is just necessary. Human engineering-level necessary.

They are convinced/terrified that their 20,000 followers on X.com are totally real and irreplaceable even though the only people who respond to their posts are Nazis

They're obsessed with not restarting their follower counts.
