I think Musk doesn't like activists of a certain bent, and he's made moves that are damaging Twitter to disenfranchise those groups in particular.
Maybe the net outcome is good, maybe not. I think it's hard to achieve that type of outrage (both good and bad) without these massive social media sites. So we might get less toxic social media, but reduce our ability to effect change through social justice.
- xyzzy_plugh 3y agoBuddy have you ever been on Twitter lately? It's literal peak toxicity.
- RuggedPineapple 3y agoMusk literally just started bribing right wing activist accounts with Twitter cash. He is absolutely not wanting to disenfranchise activists, he's wanting to target them at people he doesn't like.
- MrPatan 3y agoHow is ad revenue share open to everybody "bribing right wing activist accounts with Twitter cash"?
- evan_ 3y agoIt’s not open to everybody. It’s just a couple dozen accounts, mostly right wing influencers.
- cool_dude85 3y agoIsn't the most prominent person posting about that money one of the Krassensteins? They are probably right wing by world standards but in the US they are big time Democrats and got famous in Trump's replies saying "how dare you sir".
- pohl 3y agoI think it’s the absence of pro-authoritarian payouts that one would want, not the presence of an account who is not.
