Yeah, but that's political sperging again. If it's the best sat-interwebs, I want it. People VOTED elon's gang into office, but I'm not cancelling my u.s. citizenship over that either, voting with you wallet is almost idealistic, because you still need the goods, not matter what cuckoo asshole "owns" shit and takes a cut. Tesla cars just suck, there's no reason to buy 'em safe for stanning elon. And his rockets I don't personally need at all - not in that market. But if I was for some reason stuck in the middle of bumfucknowhere, imma use the best red american sat-net available. These people need to be ousted by other means, if push comes to shove... Just sayin'
Likewise, X just sucks, so I'm not using it much, safe for lurking.
I do "need the goods" as i primarily live in a place that has zero cellphone coverage and only TelMex DSL that goes down all the time every time it rains or we get pounded in the ass by a hurricaine. If not for me, for a family business to place our orders. But I am so MATI that I just drive to the next town and use my cell or go place my orders in person.
Had a moment of weakness where we attempted to activate a terminal someone got on craigslist but that person never took it off their account and that was that. Good luck contacting spacex. Wont be doing it from Twitter/X when youre banned there. That just pisses me off even more. I dont want to go crawling to this asshole who banned me from social media over literally nothing and give him a dime for anything but thats just me.
without saying too much, im solely responsible for getting food water and supplies in for my whole entire town when SHTF a few times a year, but nope, im shunned forever and ever and ever for things that elon himself tweets out now. maybe i didnt hitlerpost or niggerpost enough to get a blue checkmark on X but hey im willing to try! the idea of giving him money for starlink is just insulting to me even if we do "need" it.
Now im waiting for Project Kuiper or, i guess, any competitor whose name is not starlink. We just go without and touch whatevers left of the grass when the internets down.
If i had a point to make, its that buying twitter was a dumb decision. people would be right to not take kindly to their unjust suspensions over total bullshit and reject all things musk..... and i think hes underestimated the impact of that... said it before, ill say it again: i dont need a soapbox to dole out shit political takes, i knew most of my connections IRL.. Three died and I didnt have their contact info outside of X. Never got to say goodbye. Yeah. I am pissed off enough to reject all of his businesses until they get rid of him.
I’m at best neutral on the politics and DOGE, thing is I can’t even participate in the discussion constructively , or even passively read whatever contradictory and confusing business rules they’ve made up for the day (example: announcing changes to Beneficial Ownership Information on Xitter.) ….. maybe I can read something relevant on Xcancel or Nitter today. Maybe they’ll block them again tomorrow. I don’t think govt agencies should be allowed to make announcements behind a paywall that millions of Americans are now banned for life from over some bullshit. I do have something to about it if and where I am able to do so, and KF , at least for now, is one of these places. Null takes more arrows for the first amendment than Xitter likes to pretend that it does.
I almost envy the people who have found other ways to express their dissatisfaction

… but I think airing this stuff , wherever I happen to be “allowed” to , still has its utility. Especially faced with a company that does whatever it can to silence and censor or intimidate its detractors or anyone who has some shit to say about their behavior. If that’s my reaction to being silenced or unheard , at least it’s not the worst reaction they’re getting at the moment …..
