People will forever use that dead platform because they fear change. Imagine if heads use alternatives or, GASP! Not use the site to begin with.

If I get shown trauma porn, black people being looked at as inferior due to fake news, propaganda, and right wing babble with no sort of moderation, I would question my sanity :why:
One of the best things they did was block you from browsing if you aren't logged in.

So I just stopped logging in :russ:

What do yall not get. He has no reason to sale as long as yall keep using the app.
This. Everyone retweets about how he's losing money while he puts his toe on the scale by adjusting the algorithm, forcing his opinion on your timeline, unbanning white supremacists and force-feeding you polarizing users (who are more likely to be far-right).

Look how people like Janet Jackson become uninformed people reposting far-right talking points

not sure if this is a negative or positive thing...

can anybody break down what the effect will be on users?
It sounds like if you block an account you won't be able to respond to their posts or DM, but you will still be able to see their posts. Basically what people are saying is all that racist shyt on the platform you WON'T be able to get away with it.

He's losing money on the app lmao. All the advertisers are abandoning the apl. Also he's not going to sell it either way.


If he lost money fast enough he would have to sell or risk crashing Tesla's stock price. He doesn't have enough liquidity to pay back his loans and cover losses both without selling Tesla stock.
