She was happy to take the bag even after Musk’s nazi salutes but now runs away. I wish I could say ”better later than never’ but she was a CEO, not some random nobody working at the ”basement’. Fuck these people!

There’s still some information on certain topics, where it is the best place to find it. OSINT for example.

People who use Twitter to publish and have a large audience are reluctant to leave their followers behind. Convincing followers to go over to a new platform is not so easy. If you fear losing 70% of your followers, if you switch to Blusky, or 95% if you switch to Mastodon, then it might be risky financially.

Network effects are strong.

Well, according to one source:

At X, her base salary was reportedly $6 million, according to Market Realist. In addition to this, she was eligible for up to $2 million in annual performance bonuses and received $4 million in stock options spread across a three-year term.

So if she stuck around another year she'd have gotten another ~$1.3 million in stock options. Guess she figured it wasn't worth it.

Hey, I like him!!

J/k, he's a cunt.

So all of the Americans are by your definition?

Some of them are held prisoners by Nazis.. not everyone has the ability to flee unfortunately. There are levels of resistance but I can't fault absolutely everyone there for being beaten down at this point.

Also it’s a good excuse to quit when you can’t fix the advertiser problem.

Media acting all surprised when “anti-Woke” means Hitler. That’s exactly what it means.

I wonder if she signed an NDA that prevents her from saying she was greeted on her last day by a manic sweaty wide-eyed Elon musk demanding he be referred to as mechahitler.

Nah, they're saying sales have only dropped by 10% from 2024, in the US. Which is fucked up.

Wonder if that's because left aligned types had already quit buying them in '24? He was already being a total fuckhead during the election at that point.

Hell of a way to squeeze a statistic.

Who's trying to flee? It's the fascists that have to go

I bet I could sell MAGA a "tactical" survival kit that's just an old fanny pack with a bag of jelly beans inside labeled "blowjob tree seeds".

I ditched most of my friends when twitter and facebook came out. They all got too twitchy and really boring to be around. They were becoming more and more self conscious and self absorbed. It's some scary shit watching from a far

Freebasing that fedi

What's awful is- I can find this news in other places using RSS. Not nearly as quick but... Who cares? Like wtf difference does it make?

It's the fascists who SHOULD go, but that's not often how it works in reality. And LOTS of people are trying to flee. Not everyone can or should fight. It's going to be a long and hard, but necessary, road to fascists being held to account.

I just mean that trying to apply the Nazi bar meme to an entire country because people are not immediately surrendering and fleeing the fascists seems kind of counter productive.

And does Grok's 'output' include its waste emissions in Memphis?

Like what the fuck is possibly on there that justifies using that piece of shit platform?

People. Lots of people. Including Doctor Cory Doctorow and Molly White.
