December 18, 20232 yr Just now, Toastrel said: He destroyed it. The death throes may last some time. I certainly hope so. The demise is taking far too long for my liking.

Because if you want someone with his finger on the pulse of the popularity of social media outlets, definitely consult with elderly sheetlibs like toaster. 16 hours ago, DrPhilly said: I certainly hope so.

Seriously, if you don't like Twitter or Musk because electric car man bad, just don't use it. Why do people care if it's around?

There were about 3 years straight where you and the entire right wing echo chamber whined all day every day about how your 1st amendment rights were being stripped from you and you were living in 1984 because Twitter banned Republicans for saying the N-word.

Three years straight where I complained about Republicans not being allowed to say the n word on twitter? And the right wing echo chamber, too? Wow, windy, great story!

Independent posters carried just as much weight as the paid commercial ones. Reports were posted from the front lines in real time. You didn't have to wait for the commercial sponsors to repurpose the tweet the way they want to say it. The algorithm chose whose tweets were most worthy, based on content, on likes, and the topics you followed.... No, it wasn't a perfect system. Yet everyone who had something to say went to Twitter to say it because it could be communicated to a wealth of people immediately in real-time. When Musk bought Twitter, the first thing he did is monetized the content. He made it pay-to-play. No longer is your message valued by its content, it is valued by how much you paid to Musk to tweet it. All of the independent voices left Twitter. Now it is only about sponsored content.

That's wild. If you have trusted sources you can still follow them and see their tweets in real-time. And it's a matter of public record that, pre-musk, some accounts were artificially boosted and some were shadow-banned and muted by Twitter's algorithm. I'm sorry, this is like the polar opposite of what actually happened.

I'm sorry, this is like the polar opposite of what actually happened. All I can tell you, anecdotally, is several years ago I could check Twitter multiple times a day and get a wealth of information from many different sources. Now when I check Twitter, it is the same sponsored content over and over again.

Oh, yeah, I think the only people that left were the uber-sheetlibs that got butthurt about Musk not censoring right wingers as much. If you're following those dudes, you were being fed a steady stream of misinformation anyway, and your experience on twitter should improve with them gone.

Anecdotally, I haven't seen much change except for less right wing accounts are being banned or suspended and some previously-banned have been brought back. Virtually all the major MSM outlets still have accounts and post regularly.

Uber-sheetlib dudes tweeting misinformation about the Eagles? Ok, I guess I am better off without that sports content.
