So, Elon Musk is going to make a lot of bad choices that gently caress up a lot of people's lives and suffer no consequences for his actions, right? Is that where this is all headed?

Sodomy Hussein posted:This entire thing has been Elon scoring own goal after own goal on himself, and has not been without consequences. It's not great for Elon when it looks like he forced himself into a situation where he overpaid for an already troubled company, and his immediate, overdramatic mismanagement is causing the ad revenue to freeze up while he does a very public Trump impersonation. Twitter may implode within a matter of weeks at this point. Yeah, that's kind of my point. Twitter dies, Musk remains rich and moves on to gently caress up something else, and the people who suffer are independent artists who rely on the platform for commission work. I'm just so tried of incompetent rich people getting to ruin things again and again and again.

Not doing things he says he's going to do is his favorite style of business, which is probably for the best because when he actually does do things it always goes terribly.

Star Man posted:I'm convinced that Elon Musk is destroying Twitter on purpose. Like I can't even believe that he's just that colossally stupid to nuke a company that he just bought from orbit out of incompetence. No, he really is that stupid. Look into his history even slightly and you'll see "Oh wow so this guy is just hella dumb".

So if Musk bought twitter on a loan is it possible for banks to repo it when he doesn't pay them back?

Again, I do not understand why Musk gets to keep Twitter when he paid for it with money he does not have and will never be able to pay back.

Musk is really pushing the limits of the whole "rich people are allowed to do crimes" thing, I wonder how far he'll go before someone in a position of authority bothers to try and stop his blatantly illegal activities.

You can no longer log into Twitter via your desktop, app is still up but this seems like a major problem.

Wait, so then what's the point of being able to hide your blue check? Anyone who shows up in the "for you tag" is a blue check haver so everyone will know they have one if they're seen there wether they're hiding it or not.

Automata 10 Pack posted:Bluesky is off to a good start because they knew what made Twitter popular with the “verified” status, and launched it with a closed beta with invites to the cool crowd. Now getting into Bluesky is the new “verified.” Oh, so it's a twitter/discord hybrid? If they can get the programing right and manage to attract a user base that's actually a really good idea. I'm assuming the "no screenshots" thing is untrue and based on something taken out of context because that is a wild thing to demand and try to enforce.

Wasn't Musk supposed to stop making decisions on how to run Twitter? I thought he agreed to turn it over to someone else. I still don't fully understand why he made any changes at all, when you buy a new car you don't just pop the hood and start randomly pulling out parts. I know the answer is because he's petty and dumb, but I'm morbidly curious to know the thought process behind why he decided doing all of this was better than just doing nothing which would have been way easier, more effective, and not made him look like a complete jackass in front of millions upon millions of people.

Tree Reformat posted:Given how despite repeated times in the last year people made a stink about leaving for the latest "Twitter Killer" only to inevitably come crawling back a couple weeks later, this has proven to be a surprisingly effective strategy thus far! Not really, Twitter has less users now. Like, some did what you said, but others really did leave for good and there aren't a lot of new users coming in.

SgtSteel91 posted:So I finally got an invite code to BlueSky and, as I feared, the exclusivity of the platform means I don’t find much fanart, which is the number one reason I’m on social media 😔 Yeah, until it's open access, it isn't very artist friendly. I figure that'll change once the platform opens up, but that'll likely take years.

Yeah, blue sky is going to be big eventually as Twitter starts to clear out, so if you're an artist getting an account now and sitting on it until it opens up to the general public will probably be a good long term investment. I may be proven wrong here, but we'll see.

Did Twitter ever come up with a reliable way to reduce the number of bots? Because it doesn't seem like they did.

Captain_Maclaine posted:Even if I had suffered sufficient head trauma to want to sign up for an account, there's no power on earth that could convince me handing credit or bank account information over to a Musk owned company was a good idea after seeing Tesla's repeated shenanigans. Yeah, "don't trust Elon Musk with money" is like the one lesson everyone should have learned from this whole ordeal. They should have known this before, but for some reason banks were willing to piss away millions on him so he could buy a website for a funny meme number of dollars so I guess some people were unaware of this valuable piece of advice.
