You couldn’t pay me to.
Woke f**kers who don’t like the fact that the American election showed their views to be a clear minority despite being the most vocal opinions on twitter, all rushing to a different echo chamber full of like minded imbeciles.
Twitter was made a dumpster fire by Jack Dorsey allowing all sorts of woke ideologies to creep on there. Isn’t he the guy behind this latest clone?
People walking off X isn’t the way people. Stay, share your opinions and memes and use the mute function if you don’t like something.
The best thing on there is city twitter, don’t allow that to be fragmented. Just block idiots like Pricelss Silva and KdBfan or whatever who have never been to a game and are sat in a farm in India trying to monetise off our fanbase.
You can't use the platform and expect it to be a level playing field because it isn't. Since Musk's takeover, he's given undue prominence to people who pay him to use it, promoting their replies and their posts over non-paying users. As I said in the previous post in this thread, he suppresses external links, so content creators find it much harder to get their work seen by both their audience and a potential new audience. He has also made it so much easier for false information - both malicious and mistaken - to be spread, and indeed spreads it himself in support of his own political ideology.
Previously, you'd have been right - block or ignore what you don't like, engage with what you do. But now that isn't enough to avoid what you want to avoid. It's you bringing a knife to a gunfight and Musk bringing a battalion.
Since he's so big on people exorcising their right to free speech, he'll understand people choosing to no longer use his platform in exchange for another that behaves how they want it to.
As for it all being about 'wokeness', I struggle to understand what people mean when they criticise 'woke ideology'. As far as I can tell, being woke means not being racist, sexist, homophobic, whatever, and actually engaging with people in good faith and in a pleasant manner.
