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.

I only see this as going well for him/Twitter.

Not really, it’s definitely going to be interesting to watch it go up in flames 🍿

This kind of garbage is exactly why I don't use Twitter anymore. I don't know what is wrong with Musk, but something is up in his head.

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.

So how will they comply with court orders requiring that function? /smh

You could see this coming the moment we started blocking blue checkmarks.

@dirtmayor Now that's just stupid. And I generally like the guy.

Is this meant to be the final response to #BlocktheBlue

[–] GadgeteerZA@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago

LOL that is probably because I've been blocking Elon's profile for a while now. I'm pretty sure this has to do with his profile being blocked by more and more people.

When toxic idiots on Twitter drive everyone off, they'll be the only ones left.

Then they'll turn on each other, harassing bots and trolls who'll scream that nothing's being done because they are being dragged.

Then when only the most toxic are left, and they have no one else to intimidate, harass, or make miserable; they'll leave.

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

Time to promote the hell out of Mastodon

LOL, WHAT?! That's absolutely stupid.

One step away from A Clockwork Orange where users' eyes will be held open so they are forced to see fashy-curious content

This level of nob gobbling takes focus.

[–] Jordynl@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

How in the world is that a good idea...

[–] confusedwiseman@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Correction: Twitter is removing the block feature so that tweets can reach the full audience...

I’m happier since I don’t use twitter. Thanks Elon, you’re making things easier for us.

[–] Tot@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doesn't he himself use this feature a ton? 😂

I reckon he's just really really fucking short-sited tbh. He seems to forget that there are people on twitter, or were tbh.
