Have you considered becoming a white nationalist to avoid getting your twitter account suspended?

They're both whoring for more autocrat money.

Twitter going hard on people linking to other social media platforms. I give it 24 hours before they have to make a hard U-turn on this new policy

Also of note, TikTok didn't make the list because the Chinese government has a significant amount of power over him.

Even banned linktree aggregators ffs. This basically makes Twitter useless to the content creators he was trying to get on the platform. Cross polination is huge for them.

Good summary of what previously discussed here

Never forget that Jack always sucked too.

Man i wish a real alternative would arise so Musk and friends are just left on Parler II crying and bitching about not being owned .

Yep, Jack is only sympathetic here in comparison to Elon, who is one of the more epic twats on the planet.

Jack was in way over his head for sure, but it was never anywhere close to this poorly run. And at the very least he eventually did put together a team of people who could do the job and got out of the way.

What's starting to shape up as likely is that the true value add people on twitter all slowly relocate to Post, Mastodon, wherever (Scott Galloway just left for Post.news a few hours ago for example) and there's a slow bleed of intellectual value on Twitter until only the Fintwitters, Crypto bros, sports journos, & war watchers are really left.

There's a rubbernecking phase where a lot will continue to hang around just to watch it burn, but eventually that will lose it's appeal.

Yeah, that was Jack's best move....I'ma fuck off to a yurt and do ayahuasca on a semi professional level, all you software engineers can stick around and run the company.

The problem is that none of the alternatives seem set up to handle it all, and that's fracturing people unsure where to go for their feeds. Like I don't trust that Mastodon won't just crash and be down for 24 hours.

The biggest benefit of Twitter has always been that basically everyone is there. It's the social media equivalent of everyone chatting in the town square. But with that burning to the ground, all these other places are like their own pubs. They're going to become their own echo chambers as people self-select which one to focus on.
