Twitter is now specifically and intentionally a machine for developing degenerate people and patterns working towards degenerate ends. It is no longer a system useful for finding "unlike" entities. As it is also the personal mouth

The opposite. It’s Twitter before Twitter was turned into a campaign of degenerate malignancy, with several escape hatches built-in.

This industry relentlessly lionized Trump and Musk, elevating them to positions of power and handing them the power to destroy at will. This is your moment! Enjoy it!

This is a militarization effort to counter Mad King Trump who has overthrown the USA and is threatening the global order for his own sick pleasure.

This is because a mad king and his enablers in technology are intentionally crashing the global economy so they can control the aftermath.

Trump and the Republican Party have forcibly assumed control of the federal government, dismantled it, voided every function of the Constitution and replaced people critical to the functioning of global affairs with morons and lunatics. The

A story about the most destructive man in the history of high technology (who is currently demolishing the future for most everyone on here) bilking his co-investors out of billions of dollars was allowed to stay up on Hacker News for two h

Their first significant monetized product will be a Discord Nitro-type subscription for accounts that will enable HQ media, more allowed media posts, visual gimcracks, etc.

The goal is for major industries to stop paying taxes, loot national assets, and repress threats to their dominance and income streams. This requires short-circuiting all of the machinery that makes civil society possible. And if you get to

The monetization strategy has already been announced. I’m pointing out that there is no near-term scenario where the bills aren’t getting paid.

This is because Tesla‘s implementation hasn’t worked, doesn’t work, can’t work, won’t work, won’t ever work, and has been a decade-long intentional fraud from a con artist that was designed to pump up a meme stock. THAT worked.

Sure but that’s not going to stop Reason (a magazine for reactionary dopes that’s spent six decades arguing for the end of self-governance) from grifting for clicks as their masters storm the endzone.

Correct. But that’s not what was promised in the brochure, hence the gnashing of teeth and the wailing in sackcloth every time anyone sits down and tries to reason out what Free Limitless Fusion Power would actually look like as an actual i

There’s good old #4 again: fusion processes inevitably create extreme neutron fluxes capable of turning everything they touch into radioactive waste. Meaning the reactor vessel and all involved fluids and support structures for handling the

There is no evidence. Period. Just a dozen contrived situations that “might have been” being aligned for political ends. Meanwhile in reality they’ve all but named the goddamn specific animal that brought it from the zoonotic pool and intro

There is no evidence or plausible scenario to support this, but it’s an incredibly useful story for the incoming regime to promote for the purposes of hampering consensus reality. It also gives conspiracy theorists and low-trust communities

The already highly compromised ideologues who seized control of the federal government are dismantling it because they said they would. Every comment on this post is frighteningly uninformed about current events.

Ohhhh, he’s genuinely stupid. Got it.

Zuckerberg single-handedly pulling the control rods out of a platform with three billion users may go down as the most consequential, catastrophic decision in human events. The only good billionaire is a former billionaire.

Big Tech subverted the world’s longest running democracy and tipped a majority of the global population into authoritarian rule. An essay handwringing the question doesn’t seem very useful at this point.

Twitter absolutely did sell reach, if not by that name. And they currently sell reach boosts via premium subscriptions.

by arghandugh 2y ago
You are misunderstanding what I am saying: all major accounts, monetized accounts, or business oriented accounts have their reach artificially limited. All. All platforms. Twitter was an exemplar of this well before it was converted into

No. Those are different types of campaigns that are also paid.

Yes, which is why notoriously left-leaning propaganda outlets like “Sony PlayStation” and “major league sports” are setting up camp there.

Every single social media platform of note charges accounts for “reach”. Your post gets seen by 1-15% of your followers unless you “promote” it with a marketing spend. Bluesky has no mechanism for artificially limiting the reach of legitima
