  Oil companies are not the problem, people who still drive their car to work are!

  Are you sure about that?

    it’s different in this case. twitter is nothing without users. oil companies don’t just sell car fuel. they also sell oil for plastics, lubricants, fuel for ships and heating, etc… twitter would die. oil companies would survive.

      I agree that people should stop using twitter and if nobody used it, it would stop being relevant. But it is not. We’ve put a big piece of our “interaction infrastructure” in the hands of a small number of maniacs. If those maniacs misbehave, they need to be punished.

      Just nationalize twitter and be done with it.

        i’m suspecting elon is trying to run twitter into the ground for the US elections.

  The problem is that the Nazis are full-on taking over Twitter and they don’t give a fuck about leaving

  Also don’t defend Elon he’s a colossal moron and it gets proven over and over every day

    Nazi’s taking over a site is usually the last chapter of site traditionally lol. Not to worry, that’s probably a good sign that Twitter is cooked.

      4chan is still chugging away.

      But it’s certainly the death of Twitter as an advertising platform.

  Asteroids are not the problem. Dinosaurs who live in their path are!

  • krey@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    contrary to the dinosaurs, ppl have a choice

    • SinningStromgald@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yes, may I have the asteroid now please?

        I, too, would like to vote for the meteor.

      A choice and an equally valid alternative in Mastodon.

      The person has a choice. People are a force of nature.

  But it’s a problem people keep using Twitter because of what musk has done. Without his antics, using Twitter wouldn’t really be a bad thing, would it?

  source

  • joe@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Well, arguably the microblogging format does have some intrinsic disadvantages.

    source

    • MotoAsh@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yes, but that wasn’t the question, now was it?

      source

      • joe@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I would argue that the format incentives short quips and discussions lacking nuance in favor of brevity, and yes, therefore it’s “bad” (to use their term) to use Twitter even if musk wasn’t turning it into Truth Social.
