@binkle @ChristiJunior
Elon's business is literally build on government donations and he has to deal with corporate partners every single day. I find it hard to believe many people thought he will support free speech. In his position, it would literally lead to arrest in mere days.

But more importantly, he doesn't even need to. His motivation is (and he said so many times) to destroy the woke hold over technological infrastructure and therefore all communication options. And aligning himself with trad Christian cuckservative right will do the job

@PurpCat @djsumdog @cjd It's just going to get worse. All ideologies suffer from the issue of in-fighting and purity spiraling, so you are just going to have people form more break-away communities that are even smaller and shorter lived.

@StockliRacer @cjd @djsumdog @80caa3337d33760ee355697260af0a038ae6a82e6d0b195c7db3c7d02eb394ee It was probably better during the pre-GamerGate days because people told me that the nice thing about it was that you could just check on it, make a few Tweets, and walk away for as long as you want instead of obsessively checking on it.

@cjd @djsumdog @80caa3337d33760ee355697260af0a038ae6a82e6d0b195c7db3c7d02eb394ee I don't. I considered getting one back in the early 2010s because unlike Facebook, it wasn't filled with shitty distractions like games and quizzes, but I'm glad I never did because I would've gone to even bigger drama than what goes on here.

@KuteboiCoder @djsumdog @cjd @80caa3337d33760ee355697260af0a038ae6a82e6d0b195c7db3c7d02eb394ee There already is a GamerGate2. It's the scandal of game studios working with DEI consultants like Sweet Baby Inc and gamers exposing their connections.

* Apoliticals still on Twitter
* Musk fans also on Twitter
* MAGA boomers on Gab, Minds, and Truth Social
* Right-libertarians on Nostr
* Ethnonationalists and ethnosupremacists on fedi instances like Poast and NCD
* Leftists on BlueSky
* Extreme Leftists on most Mastodon servers

There will be exceptions, of course, but this is where we are heading towards.

>This thing is just a text-book psychological operation. You divide conservatives in half along the lines of those who truly hate Indian people versus those who don't and just want basic citizen first policies.

I think it's going to lead to those on the ethnonat right to leave Twitter and join some other platform. The plan is to put everyone into their own echo-chambers where their ideas can never be challenged.

I don't understand why anyone is surprised. I don't understand why anyone thinks Xitter is better, since Elon went on a Reddit style API war and made it impossible to view threads without an account.

I don't understand why anyone put their trust in the hands of a technocrat who had over a dozen monkeys die in his brain chip trial, and then still went ahead with human testing anyway.

This thing is just a text-book psychological operation. You divide conservatives in half along the lines of those who truly hate Indian people versus those who don't and just want basic citizen first policies.

It's fucking tiresome.

we just stopped at a restaurant near the autobahn to hamburg to eat something and say that the MNT Reform Next campaign (it's our new 26mm thick 13" open hardware laptop) just went live aaaaa! crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform

@Mr_NutterButter I've heard stories that companies had to make training videos telling them that casteism has no place here. I honestly don't know what Hinduism says about how to treat non-Hindus in relation to Hindus of a lower-caste, but I think the whole caste system is enough to cause at least some division in the workplace.

I don't get how Indians are nepotistic. Their caste system should make them one of (if not the) most divide race/ethnicity.

It's nice to see Elon fans forced to see who he really is 

@gabriel Not to mention that virtually (if not all) of his start-ups have been funded by tax-payer money, not grown organically by his own merit.

@beardalaxy He made it worse. He killed the API, plans to make it an "everything app" (digital ID), renamed it to a single letter, still practices censorship, and ultimately made social media even more fractured by having people with EDS move to places like various Mastodon servers and BlueSky. The latter could've been a good thing because it somewhat killed the monopoly, but it goes with what I said a while back about the things you use being a political statement because using Twitter means that you are sucking Elon's cock, using BlueSky means that you want to return to Dorsey's Twitter, using Mastodon (the servers that federate with Mastodon.social) means that you are some far-left anti-capitalist who can't hear anything to the right of antifa, and using Nostr means that you are some lolbert cryptobro who thinks that bitcoin is going to save the world.
