I mean why would you wanna do that? just wwhy?
Elon wants to be the only dim one in the room
Well, that’s easy, he can just walk into literally any room.
He really dimmed any room he walked in.
Mission accomplished…a long time ago
Stop posting and upvoting musk spam.
Better yet, Lemmy should get the much asked for ability to filter out keywords from our feeds. Musk, Twitter and reddit would be blocked immediately. I’m so sick of them.
Wasn’t there extensions to do this to reddit and other sites? If so then you can just make your own extension to do that. Problem solved.
Anyone actually cares at this point?
Who doesn’t like going to see a circus?
Nope. Quit the bird site when he went full asshat. Barely used the bird site before but it was helpful for breaking news in the olden days. Other than potential A11Y legal action if it fails for contrast issues, I don’t think anyone should care about this stupid site now. The tech community has moved on.
I’m guessing that no one here does. If you’re on Lemmy, you’re probably also using Mastodon instead of Twitter.
I wish it would all just die and fade into obscurity, at this point. Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads all exist. There’s literally no need for xbirdsite anymore.
Threads needs to go too. In fact all sites that want to steal/sell all your data and control the whole world do.
Fuck threads.
I’d much rather have twitter than threads, as bad as it may be
There’s literally no need for xbirdsite anymore.
- Almost no one I follow on twitter is on those other sites
- Almost none of the people that follow me are on those other sites
Well that needs to change now doesn’t it?
Yeah, but you can’t make them move, can you. People are like birds flocking, they want their communities, and until people start to move organically they won’t go. You can talk to them all you like about how it’s better and how it’s not scary, but nobody’s going to go anywhere that doesn’t have the content they want.
I came here early in the reddit migration. The content I wanted was there, but I understood that new content would be created here with time.That proved to be completely true. The amount of content has absolutely exploded in a short time and it’s still growing.
It was worth the risk to use something that both reflects my value system and does not support those that actively behave in ways I find deplorable. I’d rather not engage in social media at all than support any of those monsters. I never used x/twitter. I left Facebook years and years ago, but was never a huge fan anyway. But, make no mistake, I really loved reddit. I adored it. It was my favorite place on the internet for a third of my life. But spez ruined it by mistreating people. It hurt to leave, but I had no other option.
I think the lack of content is an excuse. I think, if you haven’t left by now, you just don’t really care - especially if you are aware of alternatives. You probably don’t want to have to care either.
They will if all their friends go
And their friends will go if all their friends go, and so on. ~Strawberry
For my use case (browsing art and comics, mainly japanese), Mastodon’s actually proving to be a worthy substitute. Some of the people I follow have already moved to it and Misskey
Most haven’t yet, but the tight-knit feel it has now isn’t too bad.
I post on both, but mainly browse Mastodon and encourage others to do the same.
In my case it’s not so much the people I follow but the people that follow me. I post my photography there and have over 1600 followers when as on instagram I only got 33. I don’t really benefit anything from my following but it’s nice to post my pictures online when people actually see them too.
You should check out mastodon.art then
Want to share a couple of the Japanese art ones? I’d like to have something like that in my feed
It’s so annoying. The people I follow keep complaining about musk. Their followers keep telling them to move to Mastodon. But they don’t. What are they scared of? They’ll lose followers? Because I’m pretty sure if they switch and put a link on their twitter, a lot will follow.
At least there’s a bird.makeup instance that reposts tweets to mastodon so you can follow them there, but you can’t interact with them.
I thought changes were going to be voted on.
Elon voted, I bet
Elon: “I’m going to delete this thing.”
Everyone else: “NO! Why would you do that kind of thing?”
Elon: “O-o-okay! B-b-but I’m going to delete something today! That other thing, then!”
(Elon continues to read the hypothetical The Best Of Dilbert’s Pointy-Haired Boss book and gets so many ideas, folks)
I’ve learned more about Twitter/Ten coming to Lemmy then I ever have anywhere else. I’m amazing so many people care about it.
it’s not a Roman numeral it’s actually called X as in the letter
…or, actually, 𝕏
!woooosh@lemmy.world
…It doesn’t really have that ring to it, does it?Woooosh. We all know what it’s supposed to be called. Anyone calling it Ten is doing it purposefully to further sabotage the already self-sabotaged brand of Twitter/Ten
God this wooosh shit is annoying you didnt see the other 2 comments first? can we leave that on Reddit?
Woosh is way older than Reddit.
Being obtuse and abrasive for no reason other than to intentionally shit on someone should also be a reddit thing that is limited here. It’s hard to believe an adult capable of finding whatever weird X character that is could somehow miss what that person was doing…
Unfortunately, in Thailand where I live, both “X” and “Ten” refer to something unspeakable.
Life without Sriracha?
Contrary to popular belief among foreigners, we actually acquire our sustenance from Mama (instant noodles).
But you cover them in Sriracha right? Because that shit is delicious.
I never saw Sriracha while traveling in Thailand. You just add peppers directly.
I think that’s the joke on Lemmy as poster below !whooosh@lemmy.world
if wooosh comes to lemmy this may be my c/mildlyinfuriating post
There’s only one “X” for me and its this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEZ8fqQDdj8
Twitter’s going save money by hosting their website on Geocities. The new plan only comes with 250mb of storage and that dancing baby gif is like 3mb easy. Gotta clean up somewhere.
My guy elron is the one that’s dim…
I literally don’t care
What is he going to Musk up next?
Imo so he can bring it back as part of the paid features, the dude is looking for ways to make money in literally everything
And he’s so shit at it, especially on Twitter. Let’s not forget about the dumb idiot going full fash and chasing a significant amount of advertisers away, I’m sure that helps his financial situation a lot.
I mean, he kinda wants to make 40 billion dollars back… he ought to try to nickel and dime every single user
You mean pay for a CSS re-skin? To enable light mode??
And I love that there will probably soon be browser extensions specifically to allow users to use custom css on Twitter (assuming they don’t already exist, which they probably do), so those who are still there and really want whatever themes he’s deleting still won’t have to pay him if that’s the plan. Which goes for anything that is handled on the client side, though some might be easier than others.
Though I gotta admit, I do like them setting dark mode as the default. Black text on white makes sense for paper and ink but for screens it’s just a lot of unnecessary light being blasted at you, wasting energy and making your eyes work harder.
“A lot of people”
Translation: “no one, it was me”
“many people are saying…”
No, not just Elon, I bet he has bots too
He doesn’t like competition, especially at being fucking dim.
Fuck twitter and fuck big tech
