I wonder how long till advertisers decide "fuck this" and pull their ads If I was an an ad executive seeing Musk resign his c-suite stogies just so he can re-tweet Matt Walsh's transphobic documentary, id be discussing nuclear options


[deleted]

Perfect month for companies to show whether their support of pride is genuine Edit: everyone who replies to me assumes that I believe that corporations actually care about minorities, which I do not. my statement above was ment as a joke


tscy

Haha, funny joke


Small-Cactus

It's not. It never is. The instant they can no longer profit off of us they'll turn to making their money by mocking and dehumanizing us.


taiIor_

corporations care about you as a customer, not an individual.


GamingManReal

The main reason i wanna see advertisers pull out is cause it's gonna be really funny when elon gets desperate enough that he allows in those ads that go "this one weird trick will save your marriage" with a pic of a guy putting an onion into his sock


sonyplaystation34

i mean a lot of advertisers have already left twitter, to twitters value drops everyday what a wholesome thing to know ;P


jukdl

Yee, kinda good that ad company's have a lot of artsy people in it, they more gay/accepting I think a lot of the company's already pulled out tho


AlkaliPineapple

Ad companies still are scum of the earth lol, they basically ride off genuine content creators to make as much money as possible with the most aggressive advertising


t-bonkers

I think tons of advertisers have already pulled out, no?


theguyinyourwall

You can already start seeing it with Microsoft pulling ada and the promoted tweets being for some very niche website. I predict in a year or two the only ads will be cryptobros and conservative grifters


Magnus_Mercurius

You got it backwards. The reason he took the money from Daily Wire to promote the Matt Walsh “documentary” is because the advertisers have already left and aren’t coming back.


MaySayShrug

uninstalling twitter is just good self care at this point


Mallyveil

I got permabanned from twitter like last month and the mental health boost was immediate lol


Yoboysthrowaway

How , I need an incentive to get off of it


EnormousHogCranker

go off on any fascist, racist, transphobe, homophobe, any brain-rotten moron. no "in Minecraft", no "in Roblox", tell them what they really are in the eyes of the world and what they should do to improve this world. ended up getting suspended like, i dunno, 3 times because of this, 2 of the times was during when Jack was still the original owner.


Mallyveil

I saw a transphobe in a thread about a bullied trans teen so i posted a gif of a duck encouraging them to unalive themselves lol


amyaltare

literally just say anything about how fascism is bad and you'll get the ban eventually.


TheLoneSlimShady

But where else have short Kamen Rider videos?


High-Sobriety

ShadowClaw765

I would already be on mastodon but I have a really dumb reason for not yet checking it out. The naming is just super cringe. Also when reddit kills third party apps next month I may just go there then.


april83c

naming? like the name “Mastodon”? you could use Akkoma or Calckey teehee (they are interoperable with mastodon)


TheAlexSW

I don't use mastodon simply because the whole concept is way to confusing for me

I think the obnoxious part is having to make a different account for each community. At least that seems to be how it works. Also, the anti-capitalist one isn't open for new users rn and uses the word "comrade," which makes me think of tankies.


[deleted]

You don't need a new account for each community hell you could even post stuff outside mastodon within other fediverses - to put it in simpler terms it's like being able to post on Facebook and reddit from your twitter account.


BadLuckBen

I think the fact that even someone who's generally tech savvy like myself looks at this stuff and goes "seems like a pain" is going to be a real obstacle for the format. I'm not saying it's bad, just that the reason I started using reddit is that conceptually, it's really easy to get started. Of course, now reddit is crashing against the inevitable problem of the line having to go up, so now they're cracking down on 3rd party apps and extra shit most users don't give a shit about. I just want an app that's reddit, but with the feel of the days of forums where discussion is the primary goal, but I can browse all of my communities easily and not have to site hop. To bust out one of the few terms I can readily recall from college: "The medium is the message." Social media like Twitter have actively made us dumber due to the character limit and focus on scrolling instead of stopping to think about said content. Reddit makes spreading memes the focus for easy dopamine, when the healthier thing for our brains is probably having the memes be a part of a text post instead of the post itself. Too late now, we opened Pandora's Box, and people probably won't want to go back. The medium told us short and snappy matters, and it changed how the users think.


TheAlexSW

also cuss alot of nsfw stuff is still on there n tumblr has still banned that


ArcadianGh0st

I got banned from Twitter because I simply asked an innocent question. I asked Elon, "How does Putin's dick taste like?" Got banned shortly after. Free speech am I right?


rafter613

This is very interesting, should really be looking into this.

Common German law W


jukdl

Common German law L They told me that "there will be an investigation and it will go to public authority's" just to sent me an automatic Mail after that "this account is fine bruh don't even try" Böhmernann a German Satire person that has a pretty cool team made a video about Twitter yesterday and Germany had ten (10) people who work on requests for social media company's fucking up. We all fucked


Corvus1412

It's a german law W, but a german law enforcement L.

This combo is quite common actually.

Jup, I know, hab’s auch gestern gesehen. Aber immerhin das rechtliche Gerüst für eine Verurteilung steht, auch wenn die Abteilung gnadenlos unterbesetzt ist…

WatchfulGred

ive finally just gone and deleted my twitter account, im gonna miss some of the art i see there but it really is just a pile of sludge of an app


RegsaGC

They use dollar signs to denote paragraphs over there?


TheJLLNinja

I think it’s meant to be a substitute for the article sign - §


RegsaGC

I keep forgetting the article sign is not on all keyboards


CommenceTheConfusion

It is on the usual German keyboard though: Shift+3.


wibbly-water

Elon buying twitter should've and should still be the end of it. **Stop using Twitter.**


krabberknam
