Bluesky and Pixelfed are pretty good arguments for at minimum logging out of Twitter/Facebook/Instagram if not going all the way and closing your accounts there entirely.
And I bet Meta’s recent Linux crackdown is going to start steering people away from Facebook and Instagram to boot.
This feels like wishcasting. As long as they can fake their numbers, I guess it doesn’t really matter because nobody calls anyone out on anything.
Tesla’s stock price seems unaffected by Musk bullshitting the most recent earnings call, or not enough to matter. Its still above $400 a share and this is after he finally admitted current hardware can’t actually do FSD.
The market is full-on irrational and invested in it. They will believe the bogus metrics fed by these companies for their “engagement.” The same people who fell prey to Elizabeth Holmes can’t see that all those profiles on Facebook and X are AI generated and automated.
If Twitter fails and no one cares is the crying real?
Do the Qweeters get a whole year’s salary?

Sure it is. Will believe it when I see it. Too many people are far too happy to ignore the Nazi and suck at his teet.

I know way too many people who only used Twitter for sports. But after /r/nfl and /r/nba and all the sports subreddits blocked Twitter, I think a lot of the organic sports activity will die off.

More and more sports content is popping up on BlueSky.
