OK so look, Hellsite is bad, we know, but it’s been spiralling faster and faster into 4Chan with more subscribers, and some confused celebrities who wanted to use it as a place to make pithy announcements.
Those days are GONE, oh celebrities on twitter. All of your comments are going to be clogged by right wingers because most leftists aren’t going to pay $8 for the right to be on top of post rankings. Those who do? They suck. You wont get dogpiled if you don’t ever have politics. If you do? No one going to your tweet will see anything other than a torrent of right wing hate,
This is by design. Musk knows that “free speech” was a shibboleth to get oppressed right wingers up in arms. He’s happy to let dictators tell him what speech they can and can’t have, but if he ever gets criticism from a leftist, that’s censorship.
He’s also out to try to tank Biden’s second term. Much like Glenn Greenwald, who’s like Matt Taibi, only a bigger asshole.
I wish more famous people would leave, and not act like this is a fight that can be won. The sooner most people with 1M+ followers depart, the sooner the site sinks under the waves of the sea or MAGA hats dominating conversations.
