I hadn’t been there in a long while, but a friend sent a link to what he said was a funny tweet. It was, but the responses were just awful, and they all had blue checkmarks.
Every single inserted ad was for right-wing grifts (crypto, t-shirts, gold coins, etc) or awful right-wing politicians looking angry or posing with guns.
Noped right out.
I pointed it out to my wife, but she says the journalists she follows are still all there. 🤷🏻♂️
Previously, it was a shithole.
Now, it’s a Nazi shithole.I present: Xitter
Xcrement. It’s called Xcrement.
Calling twix, or xitter! You can also call it Elon’s X (he has many exes, so this one fits in)
Hey, don’t rewrite history - twitter was always notoriously bad, under Elon it surely got even worse though.
I agree with everything except the “got even worse” part. It was always a steaming turd.
It was, but now it’s a steaming turd with Nazis and KKK apologists.
A few Nazis and KKK apologists convinced a shit-ton of marketers, influencers, Karens, and other predatory users to leave.
On balance, Nazis and Klukkers didn’t make it any worse than it was.
I mean lets not overdo it the algorithms were becoming very trash before it was bought up but it was usable. Peak twitter was like 2017
There is simple solution: just ignore it. Don’t refer to it in any way.
Sorry twitter was always trash
It really is saying something that it’s waaay worse now.
They have $44 billion dollar bills to wipe away the tears.
For me, it’s simpler than that: I’m gonna deadname his company as long as he keeps deadnaming his daughter
What’s up with his daughter? Did she decide to switch name because he gave her a stupid one?
She was a boy. Now she’s a girl. Daddy didn’t take it so well.
Read to the tune of Sk8er boi by Avril Lavigne
Ah ty
Don’t call it anything. Ignore it and maybe it will go away.
I mean, it’s not like twitter was ever a beacon of glory, pre-Elon twitter was still twitter
Twitter was a turd. X is a turd marinaded in diarrhea sauce.
Such poetry. It brings a tear to my eye
Ok well maybe a beacon of glory is a bit out there for Twitter, but there was a time where it was actually cool and unique.
Like back in the day where you could interact with it over plain SMS lol
I feel old.
My poor parents phone bill when I started using Twitter over SMS…
That was only the first year or two at most iirc
At least 4 years. I was using a flip phone until around 2010, and that’s how I normally use Twitter when I wasn’t at a computer.
I don’t understand why anyone would care this much about a social media website
They don’t. Rather, they believe that others do, so posts like this are simply signaling alliance.
People now have fond memories of twitter? Insane.
