The idea of human authentication might be a good thing, getting rid of bots, etc... I don't trust Musk at all, and his babbling about "free speech" and his "anti-woke" shitposting shows him as the kind of goon that should never have the wheel... but it's done now.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out, especially with the new EU regluations. They can't segment the way the site is run to appease those, so they'll either have to abide by their rules or stop officially supporting the EU.... or maybe some other fuckery.

Tell me again how there are good billionaires.
Fuck that guy, and fuck every "but why does era have a weird hate boner for Musk?" asshole like the spectacular racism at Tesla wasn't enough for you.

Why do people on this site hate Musk so much? Is there something I am missing? He seems like the closest thing we have to a Tony Stark in our lifetime and after watching the documentary about SpaceX, I have even more respect for him. I know he can say some pretty ridiculous things sometimes but I don't get people calling him a fascist.
đź”” Reminder đź”” that Tony Stark fucks things up repeatedly.

I guess it wasn't a question you could answer, was it? Really speaks to the quality of your original comment!
I answered well enough. If I was flippant it's because I haven't had my coffee lol

If you don't want to browse, tailor, & mess with Discord, that's okay too.

It's a powerful app/site. I'll leave it at that. Half the fun is learning.

They are calling him a fascist because he is a fascist. The thread is littered with examples of why. He also wants to allow unchecked bigotry and hatred to run wild on Twitter. He wants to allow blatant misinformation.


Stop idolizing him.

Oh I'm sure it will be absolutely great for LGBTQ+ users.

Tumblr isn't dead, my dash is still pretty active to this day and you can get more attention there (in my opinion) than on twitter also while twitter makes your post invisible if you ever put the wrong words or even dare to put a link, tumblr doesn't do that shit.

Tumblr is way better now than it was before, yeah the porn being gone sucks but it hasn't been dead at all. Tho with this news a lot of people are going to go back there/make accounts and maybe it will get annoying again 🤷‍♂️
idk that valley girl speak transphobia during the porn ban was enough for me. watching repeat meltdowns over what tags and posts are being hidden there, monetized harassment tools being introduced, and more nonsense has me feeling like i made the right call there

but there's pretty clearly no winning platform here, so i don't know.

Human authentication is a bad thing overall as it will lead to more harassment.

I understand your point but there's no way in which Twitter is the world's "Town Square", or even in America. Like 20% of Americans have Twitter accounts, and the vast majority of tweets and general interactions come from like 3% of Twitter users.

I don't particularly like Musk, but this is only really detrimental to the people who are terminally online (like me, and I'd imagine many on Era.
I'm just using his words and phrasing.
Apparently Twitter is so important to free speech that it can't be moderated or else it harms democracy or something.

This move really creeps me the fuck out. Has anyone interviewing him asked about his stance on obvious disinformation?

Totally agree haha, which is why I think the Tony Stark comparison is fair. Imperfect human, but overall trying to advance humanity. I don't agree with everything he says or does, but I like that he has great ideas for the future that nobody else seems to care about.

So right now Elon Musk is:

Owner of Teitrer
CEO of Tesla
CEO and founder of SpaceX
Founder of the Boring Company

Also he put some money in that neurolink AI thing that reads directly from your brain?

How many more things does he need to juggle, on top of receiving bank from that emerald mine his family had as well as Dogecoin?
