A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Not surprising, knowing how childish this guy is. I mean he's literally promoting his own tweets in the "For You" tab to people who haven't blocked him, despite these people not even following or interacting with his tweets in any kind of way...
Yeah, totally expecting that. His aim of buying twitter, is to prop up a republican presidential candidate / authoritarians in other countries that can help him evade taxes and get more subsidies.
Hey Twitter, it’s not a competition. You can get rid of your users at whatever pace suits you best. Even though Reddit is clearly speedrunning this game, and you’re getting left behind, doesn’t mean you have to double your efforts.
This is cause people blocked him isnt it or was it simply Biden got more attention then the poor musky boi
You cannot make this f-ing UP! Twitter is indeed a dumpster fire.
I wonder where the fandoms and the artist communities are going to go now that they just opened the floodgates for the massive amount of harassment those communities tend to deal with.
I presume some are going to return to Tumblr, but hopefully they make the switch to Mastodon.
Ayyyy Elon, so we're going for full chaos??
Lemme grab my popcorn before the change starts a nuclear reaction.
Surely a sight to behold. Lol
I'd wager this is in response to the campaign going around to block every blue checkmark. Elon can't let his crowd of sycophants feel like they're being ignored.
Musk and his backers (various authoritarian regimes) probably intended only to amplify the voices of the far right and other loonies, not to kill the platform itself. But that was always going to be difficult to thread that needle, made impossible by Musk's absolute lack of self awareness or self control. The fact that not only Musk is going to lose a lot of money when Twitter dies fills me with joy.
First thing I did after he bought Twitter is block him. Did I hurt his feelings?
(Not that I follow what's going on with Twitter anymore since I found Mastodon.)
Wow. He really is a tool.
Anyone still on Twitter (who doesn’t absolutely need to be on Twitter for their job) must either enjoy harassing others or somehow enjoy being harassed?
I have no clue why anyone who isn’t a right-wing dingbat would use Twitter for fun or whatever. It’s so not fun to be on a platform run by a little manbaby, for a little manbaby.
One step away from A Clockwork Orange where users' eyes will be held open so they are forced to see fashy-curious content
he's pissed because people started installing browser extensions like Block The Blue
Bro it's like he WANTS us to only see t shirt ads
I can’t wait for other social media platforms to do the same thing. Social media companies are so stagnant they just copy what other companies do without thinking if it’s a good idea or not.
I’m happier since I don’t use twitter. Thanks Elon, you’re making things easier for us.
Correction: Twitter is removing the block feature so that tweets can reach the full audience...
