I don’t think I’ve seen the old hard-R written out in quite some time. Let nobody say Musk and his indentured servant team have never accomplished anything. They just accomplish the bad things.

Lol that's sort of true. I'm having a bit of a viseral reaction. I couldn't quite put my finger on why, but I think you're right. I just hadn't seen it in so long.
That's pretty fucked if you think about it.
Yeah, that’s kinda what led to my comment. I was looking at it thinking how overtly fucked it all was.
Keep using it! That'll fix it! It's like when a company gives you shitty service you keep giving them your business and eventually they'll give you good service!
That's how it works, right?
Sometimes you don't even realize you're on it. I watched a clip on a news article. I was mildly surprised that the X branding only showed up after I started watching the clip. That clip was fine, it wasn't even really political. Then it auto played Alex Jones talking about Democrats being traitors and trying to destroy the country.
So when the fuck did they start removing branding on embedded stuff? And then when the fuck did they start trying to auto play videos? And videos from a completely different account and subject matter?
If they're that shady just visiting the website I don't even want to think about what their apps are doing.
Not sure how you got away with that… Every single time I have been forced to use Twitter for a video, it has been an awful experience. Their video player is one of the worst modern video players I’ve ever had the displeasure of using. Plus they gate everything behind a login nowadays, so even embedded players in news articles won’t work unless you sign in first. Twitter is rapidly becoming Pinterest for fascists; It grabs content, then walls it behind a login page.

every day it gets more incredible to me that people are so fucking addicted to fake validation and fake likes from fake friends that they still use fucking twitter
Yeah! I like my fake validation and fake likes from anonymous friends over here on lemmy. Fake friends are overrated.
the secret is i don't think anyone on lemmy is my friend. i find everyone here frustrating and annoying! the system works!

The first word they did this with was cis. This will keep happening and the attacks will get worse until people act. Leave Twitter
Nazis are sub human and shouldnt have rights
The only good nazi is a dead nazi
Or maybe a grammar nazi... But I'm not sure they count

A guy from South Africa made his app anti-black? Shocking.
The white guy who is only rich because of black oppression in South Africa, in fact.

Yet you continue to use it…
As soon as Musk bought it I reactivated my long-dormant account so that I could delete it properly, I can't understand why so many people are using X.
You're all patrons of the nazi bar, only in this case the nazis bought the bar. Twitter is dead. Migrate to somewhere else like you probably have multiple times before if you've been on the Internet for any amount of time.

This is what I don't get, people not migrating from a shit platform. Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, etc.
They all just reach this critical mass where people decide the benefit of everyone else using it outweighs all the negatives of the platform being abusive to its own users
I avoid all FB products but it’s a pain in the ass when every business assumes that everyone has FB or Instagram. Local bakery closing due to poor weather? Instagram. Schedule for the small festival I’m attending later in the day? Instagram. Up to date hours for a local small restaurant? FB. Any contests or giveaways from any of the small businesses I patronize? Instagram. And friends with kids complain that their kid’s schools all use FB for critical info.
And it’s damn near impossible to really engage with the pottery community without Instagram. It’s really the defacto communication medium for publicizing any artists or craftspeople who are below the high end gallery representation level or the decent sized company level.

Don’t use state media.
Exactly the opposite lesson to take. We need public social media, not corporate social media. We need rights and guarantees, not profit taking and psyops.
I think in 2025 the "rights and guarantees" you want aren't going to be provided by state or corporate social. Defederated / self hosted is the way.
It should be owned by the users and moderators, not the billionaires.

IDK How to tell you this, but fascist racists own everything and are planning to kill a whole bunch of people soon. I really think people are under estimating the severity of the vision these people have for the world.

People, please stop using twitter. Stop giving your attention and money to terrible people. Some people, like that white lady, are weak-minded and they will never learn.

When you use a slur, but also proper Grammar, it becomes harder to report.
Why do they call everything an "app"?
The app is just the interface, the interface did nothing wrong, the entire platform is cooked.
That's a bit pedantic. App is used interchangeably to represent the whole platform.
I work as a SWE in a team with 15 year veterans at an App company that is a top 10 most downloaded on Android/iOS. We still use the word app this way in tech meetings.
Yeah it's a platform for racists and friends of racists (also racists).
