X/Twitter is a misinformation platform. If you know a major influencer that uses, consider informing and directing them to the ActivityPub alternatives, even advertising on their platforms if you can.
Sadly we lost that fight to the other centralised platform in Bluesky
Anything that’s not Twitter is good
Blue sky (and just about anything else) is an improvement, but remember, there is no bottom, things can always be worse. Truth Social and Gab both still exist.
These websites, because they are all centralized, are all ultimately moderated in accordance with the whims of their owners, the effect of which was thrown into sharp relief after Apartheid Willy Wonka bought Twitter.
With a federated platform like Mastodon, no single owner would be able to do this. If an instance suddenly became terrible, they could be de-federated and they’d lose their reach.
Of course, if one instance became particularly large, the ‘whims of the owner’ problem would come right back, but at least the alternatives would still be readily available.
I like how you say “that uses” instead of “that uses it” because the former generally implies drug use.
Good point, best to leave it like that 🙃
First things first, the nah-seas were also good people? Is that Elong’s message of hope?
Maybe he wants X to be more MAGA friendly? Like maybe just empty the swamp and replenish the swamp monster?
He wants to be more inclusive. More types of nazis.
Lol. Free Speech guy!
A cisgender guy.

Yes, that town square needs to be happy. That’s a happy democracy!
Mate, the bunting looks awfully like swastikas…
But happy, less negative swastikas, right?
Sure.
What an unserious human Musk is.
Closing the shop will achieve that goal perfectly.
More circus and bread. Classic move
Big Macs, M4 Macbooks and AI Slop about the danger of woke to human civilization.
Reading the title I thought he’ll retire.
Instead of “bad” you have to say “ungood” from now on.
Double plus ungood!
“Maybe if you tell me the bad news in a good way, it won’t sound so bad.”
The bad news in a good way. Yes, I can do that. The bad news in a good way. Well, here it goes…
Now that the election is over, he’s hiding the lightning rod.
negativity about him.
Yeah the best thing Trump can do for himself is Epstein another friend
Right, he should remove the last few humans and replace them with bots.

If there’s going to be fantasies about murder, can his whole posse go out?
This is a fantasy about suicide but… yes.
It’d be great if they all got together for Jonestown 2.0.
Gotta catch that starship to Mars!
If someone were to poison the food at mar a lago, that person would have done more for this country than anybody else in the past 50 years.
Wish I could know what this said before it was censored
It said basically the equivalent of musk should piss on the 3rd rail. Mods arbitrarily removed my comment, probably because it included the phrase ‘kill himself’, while allowing these various replies that aren’t qualitatively different. Mods do need to feel important.
Esteemed fellows as regarded as they are do have to show a presence I guess. There are no good billionaires afterall
Check out the mod log.
Just looked: regardless of your personal opinion the comment is a breach of the terms of posting. It essentially said Musk should permanently retire himself from life.

Now that the election is over and we won, let’s remove our bots. - musk
The bots are removed! All 9 users (8 of them are EM sockpuppets) celebrate!
No, bots are still needed for hating illegal immigrants.
Immigration hate causing backlash against H1Bs, abort, abort!
Oh, c’mon, who’s going to tell him he is the best dad? He needs them.
I mean, he will on an alt.
Ah, but there are still elections in other parts of the world, like Germany, where he is also very active
Ah, so he’s going to stop posting there? Right?
