The platform is free(lol) to decide. Elon is free to turn his platform into the next Xchan. That doesn’t mean advertisers or users have to accept it. People are free to leave. I hope all the white supremacists and anti-Semites flock to twitter. It makes them easier to identify.
Leaving Twitter is already a given for me. I'll think about threads though, especially if they moderate hate speech.
Not sure what your trying to say… it does not matter, if there is a way for Twitter to be profitable then Elon will find it, very few liberals like or watch Fox News but they seem to do just fine without them, Twitter will be just fine without them also. Elon did not buy Twitter to make a profit, it was something he believed in doing…. But like most of his endeavors it will probably end up making money… it may not be the same place as before but that was the whole point of the takeover
And just how would you pay for the machine power to do such a thing. That's the gotcha for totally privacy based services == there's no business incentive to do it if there's no money to be made. You could charge a fee to be a member, but it's sure going to be a lot more than what these guys make from advertising and statistical trending because you'll have so few users.

And what are you going to do when you identify them lol…. America is full of people with different ideas and ideologies, some unsavory but that is their freedom, their opinion is exactly equal to yours, you both get one vote
<chuckle>. I'll argue with the best of them, but once anyone starts throwing hate (exclusion, race based, sexual orientation) into it, I'm out.
Twitter has heavily depended on advertising. Twitter has reported massive drops in revenue due to missing advertisers despite firing 3/4 of the work force. Nothing you have said changes the fact that Twitter greatly depends on advertising.
Well like I said, it’s a better place without you… people who get pleasure from any kind of suffering are not people I see on my feed… they get blocked quickly whether they stay on the platform or not
Nope, not me. It’s not that I want Threads to win. I just want Twitter to lose and for Zuckerberg to kick Elon’s ass in a cage fight.
In all fairness, I'd like to see that result in the cage fight too, lol, but I'd rather just Elon lose overall. Twitter doesn't need some out of touch, "How do you do, fellow kids?" CEO who gets a kick out of others worshiping him.
It’s more of an equalization of light, community notes and other tools to prevent bots from driving narratives regardless of truth… those are the main changes I have seen
It may just be on your end cause all I've seen is more crypto scam accounts, the site continuing to break down like some old jalopy and people in general not being satisfied by anything Musk does.
You realize Elon didn't add community notes, those existed before he got there. He just changed the name.
I see. You can’t respond to any of the points I said 🤣. Update your script then.
My admiration for Elon is rooted in SpaceX, but it’s true that I happen to agree with most of his libertarian viewpoints and how those translate to his decisions related to Twitter and Tesla…. Not the cars but a.I. and robotics in general. So yeah I guess you could say I’m a fan because he often thinks like I do… but I certainly don’t look to him for guidance, I don’t agree with everything he says and does
It’s just a fact check to add context, it’s useful, sunlight is always the best disinfectant
