One thing I hope is that the whole "These tweets may be sensitive, click here to see them" bullshit is done.

Also I would love to see the salt if the whole "Only People who are followed by Journalist can reply" is permanently ended. Fuck that. Blue checks need to be criticized fully
Agreed, it would be hilarious if they'd make it a condition that in order to receive a checkmark you lose your ability to limit replies to your posts. Ideally you could still block people's accounts so that you yourself wouldn't see it, but if you're a verified public figure, people have to have the ability to comment on it and tell you how dumb you are.
 
Well, that's the thing: I don't want to see pictures of some dude shoving a razorblade up his urethra, but I don't have any problem with OTHER people seeing it.

That's why I think the best (probably unrealistic) scenario is the way things used to be: a plethora of different places where people communicate online. Then rules can be made on the local level instead of coming from corporate overlords and people can find a place fits them.
I think it wouldn't be too hard to strike the balance. Take permabans off the table completely for anything not illegal, and only add exceptions when some psycho figures out how to justify a perma, that's one good way to neuter the jannies disproportionate power. Also limits to suspension length.

Hell, AI can be used to address the concern about goatse all over the place, detect NSFW and mark, and have a report option that does nothing except mark media as NSFW. Users can click the button to show (like it currently is) or flip a user setting for "show NSFW" if they want. The "random porno" concern is probably the biggest mass appeal concern that isn't astroturfed by faggots who think hate speech is real at this point.

My only concern is that if Elon hires "experts" to help he's going to end up with a sea of the exact faggots he's tired of hearing from which caused him to buy it in the first place.
The totalitarian strikes out in pain as he censors you.

I'm wondering if there will be some gayop attempt to make the site unusable, maybe Ddos, maybe bots spamming CP. We know the left mysteriously has shitloads of CP on hand when they need to take a subreddit or forum out.

My personal schitzo theory is Musk buying Twitter is the gayop. They know their site is tapped out from a growth perspective, so they need reattract conservatives. They also need conservatives on their platform to make "fortifying" future elections easier.

I hope I'm wrong, but my fear is Musk becoming the face of Twitter is planned and the NPC response is only because, after extensive "current thing" testing, they can get their sycophants to do and say literally anything. They distribute the "meltdown.exe" NPC programming update, and conservatives like Tucker Carlson notice. This encourages conservatives to join in the short term to harvest NPC salt but it lays the foundation of twitter addiction so twitter can experiment with ways to control conservative brains like they currently control liberal brains to more definitively swing elections.

Steven Pinker exclusively tweets with the 'only people I follow can reply' mode because a bunch of moronic lefties came after him for not toeing the line on every single leftist position in summer 2020. I think that's a reasonable one to keep. It helps prevent retard mobs from forming quite so easily.

This dummy should think harder about why Musk won the Pedo Guy tweet case. In a free country, it's never the speech itself that's restricted, and freedom is speech is absolute.
Why did he win that case, actually? That case is one of the reasons I don't really like the guy. Seemed like a pretty cut-and-dry case of slander to me.

So the federal probe and the looking into reviewing section 230 and MSM freakout is a bluff? I think that's operating at a higher level than the average person. Not that they are unintelligent, but they simply don't consume the same amount or depth of info we do. The average person only knows Musk is buying Twitter, if that.

I don't get the take where people think conservatives will suddenly drove to twitter after the last decade of utter rot. It's funny to look and laugh at the insanity on twitter but most conservatives don't actually want to partake in this community with these fucking people, even if it was truly uncensored. Shitposters sure, but not most conservatives, the nature of the platform will attract more leftists unless there really is an unprecedented transformation.
 
"I'm not going anywhere. If Musk takes over, I'll still be here to tell him what a loser he is..." Does it ever reach a point where something becomes so unbelievably pathetic that it just ends up making you angry and makes you want to physically shove the guy in a locker. Because that's the physical reaction I'm having after reading that.
It just shows they are addicted to the site like HB is to crack.

now they are smearing Elon and Saint Cloud resident bill Palmer is trying to muck up his own conspiracy FC13A3FC-4002-47DE-B235-ED09DB229C24.jpeg

Possibly - I mean, they'd have to make the gambit pretty convincing or the conservative pundits would see right through it and inform their audience, right?

The end effect is the Tucker Carlson/Donald Trump/Babylon Bee "trolls" seem to be returning to twitter. If they can learn to control the right-leaning programming as effectively as they control left-leaning programming, it won't matter if most normies don't use twitter, they'll be fed corporate-approved cultural zeitgeist from those that do.

At the end of the day, I just don't trust Elon Musk. His connection to PayPal is millstone around his credibility.
