Yes, that's what he wants and he's looking for people to take the blame for it. Like advertisers

Screw x, I literally don't care what happens to it at this point. At one point in time "twitter" was actually half decent, then it just went to shit....

Would you sell it, then?

Perhaps the current owner of Twitter will be interested.

Meelon Husk

couldn't he just step down as CEO or sell the company? he could also delete his account. I imagine all of these things would make advertisers happy.

He's not CEO of Twitter, just the sole owner.

I think Twitter is going down, may or may not go bankrupt but I think it will lose relevance. Wonder if it will be replaced. Lots of people (myself included) kinda assume that bluesky, mastodon or some other twitter-like service will take over. But Twitter is not really necessary, so I don't think it's a given that something will take its place.

As a time sink, more multimedia-oriented platforms like Reddit/Lemmy, Instagram, Tiktok or Youtube, seem more attractive.

Of course it can. And it probably will. But that's what the plan was since the get.

Let's hope it doesn't, I don't want those racist idiots joining any of the other social networks. Let it become the acceptable 4chan.... to siphon off the scum of the internet so that we don't have to deal with them.

If he doesn't do something about the blatant racism on Twitter, I could see this happening. If he does do this, all the shit stains like Tim Pool will start spouting off about how the platform doesn't support "free speech."

[–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

He's doing something about the racism, just not what he should be doing.

Hopefully. It's a huge pile of trash.

[–] DingoBilly@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Such bad journalism. Sucks how much reporting has gone the drain with clickbait bullshit titles like this.

[–] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I've noticed a general pattern that if the title ends with a question mark, the article is not worth your time

[–] DingoBilly@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yep. Exactly my thoughts.
