I didnt know about that mastodon place. Clicked on that link there, it looks like it was set up for Irish twitter users defecting from tiwtter. Fuck me, but I couldnt think of anything worse. Irish twitter is a nawful place as someone on here likes to say. A load of Irish twitter cunts all congregated in one spot sounds like hell.
Dont be a ballox. for fuck sake.
Itās not like twitter. People can setup their own echo chamber, so thereāll be an Irish mastadon, a French one etc or like an Irish Scouse Footix Mastadon. You have to join each one. They are all connected under one umbrella, but they are all seperate too, is my very basic understanding, like Reddit or something
Theyāll all be crying back in a week and paying their 8 euros.
I donāt see any benefit to the 8 euro and the blue tick unless you are famous enough that someone might bother their hole impersonating you. And the muskster has been clear heās not going to allow that.
The likes of Ewan will pay it as theyāve no other outlet to share their edgy opinions and remain relevant
Why canāt he just tweet away without the blue tick?
His ego needs the tick
Iād say the muskster hasnāt the first notion on how heād go about stopping that. Also heād surely have to cull the millions of bot accounts if he started down that road.
Helps sometimes
Eliminating bot accounts is one of his aims, isnāt it.
Thatās a funny one for me, it was one of the points holding up the sale. Lets say he gets rid of bots, how much will the āpeopleā using twitter drop by? Big tech has leveraged off growth of accounts for years, is it a can of worms that will destroy share prices? As the more users companies claim to have the share price rises. Whats the legal term if they knowingly allowed it? Fraud?
Also on journalists, influencers and blue tickers rely on there follower count, will there fur coats be pulled if a large proportion of them were just bots? Joe dot ie got caught rotten and rightfully so. Obviously ad revenue will drop due to the actual reach of the ads dropping for twitter meta and google.
Elon may have exposed all this inadvertently or on purpose. Who knows. One thing is for sure hes got some ego
A raft of redundancies set to be announced at Facebook and Instagram.
Big question is will zuck do it in peeson or on the metaverse? Hes so out of touch i wouldnt be surprised at the latter.
Is there any tech billionaire that isnt deranged in one way or another?
Gates seems to be well adjusted
The whole social media industry was built on a house of cards anyway. Advertising the only real stream of income.
I think Zuckerberg probably has a little more of a conscious than musk but then again he can afford to. Musk has put himself on the verge of bankruptcy
Musks net worth is 208 billion mate
Ill take the 8 off his hands. Make it nice and round
Musk will be the first man to be richest man in the world to bankrupt in 12 months. Fascinating to watch
