>All this talk about some Elon Musk drama
I thought it was common knowledge at this point that he is just Peter Thiel-tier controlled opposition.
@xianc78 yeah he does cool things and even game changing things but he's still ultimately not "on our side"

Like what? The EVs that everybody (both left and right) mocks? The brainchips that nobody wants? SpaceX is the only thing that he does and (some) people actually like, but I also have beef with that because Mars colonization simply isn't feasible right now.
@xianc78 I mean, it's not a great, but it's better imo. The community notes are a blessing lol. There is still censorship, but definitely not as much of it and not targeted towards certain groups.
@xianc78 and despite the shit teslas get and their various problems, they are still really nice cars (not you cyber truck).
@xianc78 @beardalaxy You forgot to mention how buggy it has become. Firing 90% of the staff was fine, but he clearly fired a couple people he should not have
@beardalaxy @xianc78 The UI desyncs constantly, likes disappear, it will sometimes slowly scroll down on its own, empty “show more”s all over, notification number shows when loading the tab disappears and shows back up after a minute, at least when notifications show up at all, I have been unable to upload videos because reencoding it fails server-side no matter how many times I reencoded the vid, I have had an AI tell me that my completely innocuous tweet is forbidden several times
These are just common ones. There are countless more random one-off bugs that I do not remember anymore
Also gonna complain that it shows ‘PM’ on Russian locale and the UI getting shuffled around in confusing ways but that is more of a lack of polish than a bug
@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.
