Can we just pretend that Twitter no longer exists?
All that Elon Musk still tries here is how far he has to go until Twitter finally collapses.
Also, can we stop polluting the tech comms with this crap? Why are people posting this stuff here again? We were perfectly fine for awhile with no musk Twitter shit posts.
Just block it. Wait, no, that “feature” makes no sense.
Non-shitpost: I know everyone is annoyed by now, but Ex-Twitter is a huge website and relevant?
It isn’t relevant to the billions of people who don’t use Twitter. At this point it’s just celebrity schadenfreude.
Relevant to what?
This conversation has had is back and forth far too many times. Twitter spam is not relevant to technology news. Him not blocking people has no barring on any form of new tech. It belongs in the [email protected] comms, that’s why that was created.
It became a platform in which the whole world communicated about anything and everything. Maybe it still is to an extent, but knocking down the world’s platform plank by plank isn’t an absurd thing to write about
I absolutely agree.
That doesn’t mean its had anything to do with technology. A business comm or the above mentioned spam community would be a better fit.But like I said earlier that has been discussed a million times already. I’m not discussing it anymore.
I think you meant [email protected], right?
The Fediverse is already fractured and niche, are you saying that someone should fine the perfect 36 user community, that only those subscribers are knowledgeable about, to post this to? Or perhaps news about the global platform might be relevant in the largest technology community?
2 years ago Twitter was where news broke, now it is where we get to watch a billionaire go broke in real time.
If it bothers you so much, block all mentions of the platform, person, etc.
You’re right. Why bother having separate communities for different subjects and interests? That’s just stupid. How silly of us.

I agree with you. Personally I like seeing the meltdown without having to actually visit the site. Same reason I appreciate seeing how Reddit has gone full Digg4.0 but haven’t visited the site since the 3rd Party Apps died.
This is/has a significant impact on technology and media.
It’s gotten to the point where I’ve even blocked the communities that are supposed to be making light of the fact that there’s too much musk spam… because I’m tired of all the musk spam…
Hrs irrelevant and nobody can change my mind. He can fuck right off idc.
The Comnect android app has a keyeord filter. Would seem easy enough to just put ‘musk’ inthere and unless you have an interest in muskies, muskrats, or some men’s cologne lines it would filter things pretty cleanly.
Nah. I’d rather people posted relevant posts in comms.
But I didn’t know about the keyword filter, that is cool to have available. Thanks!
It strikes me as wierd that you’d rather everyone else use the community the way you want it instead of just using a filter that makes it what you want it to be. Some people want to keep up with these things without following communities desicated to musk and they don’t have to agree to use this conmunity exactly the way you want it to be used.
Yeah, that’s me deciding everything on every comm. You got me.
Where did they say “everything on every comm”?
Oh look, reddit arrived
Twitter is a tech company like it or not.
Social media, isn’t it? That’s not really tech or everything on the internet is tech.
Twitter is kind of turning into the opposite of a tech company, none of their choices are based on technology
Not to be an idiot - but where should people post this stuff? I mean, I do find it interesting occasionally, and like to see what other’s think, not so much complaining that it was posted at all.
I’m ok with drawing attention to this stuff. Every time more Twitter shit hits the news, Fediverse apps get another boost of users.
YES PLEASE. I fucking swear it genuinely feels like about 15% of the posts here are about Elon.
People need to ignore this prick and move on with their lives
I love Elon though! He is so smart with business!!🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
It’s crazy that this could be genuine praise or scathing satire, exactly as it is written.
Those are the eagles coming to drop you into Mt. Doom.
Not for as long as it’s relevant to hundreds of millions of people.
But I would agree that “Elon says he’s going to do it” is not much of news until it actually happens.
Twitter. stopped existing a long time ago, when it was bought out and gutted. It’s the gathering place of fascists now.
I down vote any post on here that mentions X, Twitter, or Elon, usually without even reading them. I made an exception to post this reply, but did down vote the OP.
I upvoted this post and then out of respect downvoted it.
Well played
And am removing ‘X’ from my phone 😇
I dont understand why regulars are so mad. He literally owns twitter. He can do whatever he wants to do with it. Regulars dont have to engage , if you dont like it , leave. Its that simple.
I dont use twitter myself but regulars going crazy about all these stunts doesnt make any sense.
I own a white Toyota and I paint it red. Nobody can do anything about it because I own the Toyota. Same is the case with twitter .
I’ll bet a buffalo nickel that this is so Musk can guarantee eyeballs on ads.
Arg: expected eyeballs on ads not 100% because blocking. This shiny new ‘X’ will guarantee 100%.
Tinfoil: If he can disrupt B2B on ads and seize more marketing market share, he looks like a genius and gets to add a payment feature to X. I don’t think he’s very creative and will just remake PayPal with a fuckton of extra steps.
Is this man actually retarded or is he trolling us? Seems like he’s intentionally shitting on Twitter

i have like 500 people in my Twitter block list :|
“Mr. Billionaire Tech Company CEO, what was your detailed reasoning for the removal of a highly important feature that benefits way more users than the ones it harms?”
“It makes no sense”
Yea no way that’s happening. The guy can get away with a lot but burning the entire app to the ground probably has a few legal safeguards.
I blocked elon musk long time ago…
I havnt logged into twitter since he bought it though. Cant remember if i dleeted my user
I am so glad I ditched twitter when Musk took over. Blocking abusive people is a critical function on that cesspool of a social medium.
He is really attempting to run it into the ground isn’t he?
I wonder when he says “it makes no sense” if he is just confused by the complexity of it. Because blocking is more complicated than it might seem at first. It introduces issues where different people see different versions of things, and in some ways blocking can be a little like choosing to put your head in the sand regarding someone, but they can still be around, flinging shit at you.
“I’m tired of people blocking me”
Wait did I say that or just think that?
“Wait did I say that or just think that??”
Oh HeyThisIsn’TheYMCA You need more horse stewardesses
I cant wait for Twitter/X to cease to exist.
