I hate Elon Musk as much as anyone else with a working brain but let's be honest, the world would be an infinitely better place if Twitter died lol
123 0 ReplyMaybe. But the fact is that it was used by people in uprisings. It is a powerful tool for the people. There is a reason why wealthy people from the middle east backed and funded musk taking it over. They wanted to take away a tool used by the people in revolution.
It probably contributed to a lot of stupidity and human suffering, but it also could have been used to great effect if us common folk could have learned to wield it appropriately. The rich and powerful were afraid of it, that alone should tell you that it's death is a bad thing.
41 0 ReplyExactly it was allowing us lower class a place to try hold large corporations liable.
I remember using it to call out large corporations when some franchise fucked up. 9 out 10 times the issue was addressed.
But a lot of people use it to organize.
Musk wants to destroy any tool that would aid people to rise up.

Nothing > Twitter > X
Let's bring back Twitter then work on deleting Twitter.
28 0 ReplyHaving X is the fastest way to deleting it. Let it die
9 0 ReplyBut not the best way, since it gives unrestricted voices to horrible people.
I'd rather it has a slow capitalist enshittification, than a fast fascist one.

I think that Twitter is good for footage of emergency-type situations.
All sorts of people who don't know each other put images or video up, and the community is pretty good at associating it.

All that is happening is why Twitter was never the right place for this type of information.
Lazy journalism dictated by corporate bean counters and now we have whatever x is.

Imo the biggest problem is that it's way too easy to use. Something as simple as an 8th grade math question or hiding the tweet button in a menu would make it so much better
