𝕏 / Twitter / X, the Social Media Platform Formerly Known as Twitter / "MUSK OWNS TWITTER"

God damn, I thought Twitter was supposed to shut down by now.
they say this every day, crying that surely the site will fall apart without all the staff
but Elon is keeping all the actual real programmers and engineers
The people getting fired only call themselves programmers and engineers because they're too cowardly to admit their job was to enforce right-think, censor wrongthink, manipulate trends and decide what to pretend was actually popular instead of letting the actually popular things trend

I havent seen a kpop retard even once since he took over

Nah did you see he had to bring back Ligma & Johnson? Absolute egg on his face.
Top engineer Deez apparently refused to come back so Twitter is in a bad spot, experts estimate 2 weeks before Twitter is finished.
 
Elon also plans to restore all of Trump's followers (Twitter apparently removes all followers from banned accounts):

BTW he pretty much confirmed the poll was indeed a bot trap.

At the same time, it was a great sign to folks how much traffic was on twitter in a 24 hour period too. Seen someone mention between the world cup and trumps twitter coming back on it might be a pretty strong stress test as well. I think i remember tons of former twitter people claiming it would be down in a matter of hours. Maybe, just maybe they were full of shit.

don't really know that much about IT, but it does make sense to me in a very idiot layman sort of way.

I think a lot of us are just excited to see everyone freak the fuck out about it.
Even for those who don't use twitter or care about politics, laughing at blue checkmarks is always good fun.


Personally, I was slowly dragged onto Twitter for art reasons then forced to listen to fucking awful political takes. Now everyone says it'll shut down and jump ship and I feel vindicated.

God bless America. I just want people to keep outing their bots.

Kiwifarms is the new Gamergate, then -splendid.
When you think about it, the past 3-4 months was really an autism holy war. The fact that we survived and now see the journalist platform threatened by forces outside of both our and their control is highly cathartic. We had a good start going into a rocky middle, but could the continued existence of Kiwi Farms and the whole twitter fiasco be proof of the Year of the Chud?
