It's ridiculous to think he won't come back for the attention he craves. As for force fed? What? Every credible news outlet is quoting elon himself and has insider sources. That's their job. They could turn out to be wrong but so far nothing leaking about him has been wrong over the years. That also includes his being a white supremacist. He made his views clear on that one. You got all the buzz words in there, didn't you... The news has never been wrong in the past few years either, right?

Personally not going to delete my account, I've tried using other social media platforms like GNU Social, Diaspora, Mastodon and literally none of your actual friends or family ever jump over.

Malisk Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) I welcome less centralization than today. Personal communities pretty much unequivocally leads to a better atmosphere and while I too visit them daily, social media are largely a scourge to the Internet and I'd happily use alternatives where applicable. And I already do of course. But a problem here with classic forums is discoverability. For example, for you to get in touch with these guys, now you need to specifically learn that she created some forum on her website and if you didn't catch this, she'll just appear to have disappeared. We need a better platform for discovering disparate communities. Anyway, so far Elon Musk is handling this about as elegant as a bull in a china shop. I wonder where Twitter will be in a year.

The news has never been wrong in the past few years either, right? That's classic conservative what-about-ism used when you have no valid point to make. Either say nothing or say something useful. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/whataboutism-origin-meaning Seriously, this my last reply to you to get your head out of your behind (gonna save it cause variations of it will he handy whenever I encounter right wingers. The media making mistakes and the media making things up are entirely different things. Both sides have different issues and different degrees of severity while the intent really matters. You right wingers cry about PC culture and how intent matters in words...here's another situation where the same logic applies. Left Wing News Has suppressed stories that are negative such as the Hunter Biden laptop stuff. Because fox news and other conservative outlets were all over this, left wing media should have covered this factually...specially since Hunter isn't even in politics and most of us don't give a crap about it. Has made mistakes. Sure...and they correct it when they catch it or get called out. Left wing ideals. Duh, we need to be in a more science based culture and leave behind the bad ideas that have held us back AND harmed a lot of people. Religion and politics need to be separated for a healthy society to function without those bad ideas getting involved...cause religion still has no credible evidence to prove anything. People issues. Yeah, there have been some people issues and little scandals. How bad are these...well compare them to the next section and this is only recent history. Remember these are still humans with flaws and they're bound to make mistakes. We judge them on the job they're there to do and if something affects that (FOR REAL, NOT MADE UP STUFF) then yeah they should be fired and it happens. The left holds itself WAY MORE accountable than the right. Right Wing News Outright fakes news stories and fakes video footage such as with the Trump inauguration ceremony crowd size. They used footage from Obama's because Trump couldn't handle that most people didn't want to see him president and knew he would be awful but he was already lying before . Very thin line between Opinion (Hannity, O'Reilly, and now Tucker) and actual news. Most of the coverage there is heavily focused on criticizing the left only. Opinions are dropped on top that are simply proven false. They have opinions about how society should work, psychology, climate science, economic matters, and more that have been proven over and over to not work and cause harm. Example: Hunter Biden, Abortion Laws, LGBT Issues...specially trans issues, womens rights, the whole trickle down economics thing that always ruins the economy when Republicans are in power, guns, and more. Here are the effects of these policies Red states are commonly poorer, less educated, less healthy, and less happy. These are verifiable statistics. Why is that? The Hunter Biden story, who cares. If there was a special job he got cause of his daddy, cry me a river, tell me a politician not doing that. LGBT Issues are way worse in red states. Suicides among trans people are the highest but overall our whole community has terrible mental health issues from growing up in a country that oppressed us. Psychology here matters and mental health is very real to anyone who's ever experienced it. For most people they can't understand it until it happens to them. Empathy and compassion towards our fellow man is a religious ideal isnt it? If this doesn't bother you, that says a lot about the movement you are part of and yourself than anything. Fox news etc has been pushing this false narrative that there was a threat such as with bathroom bills and trying to paint trans people as predators looking for a way into opposite of their birth gender bathrooms. There were never any actual incidents of this of actual trans people and they falsely made it seem like a real issue which further pushed hate crimes. Hate crimes follow a lot of fox news' FUD. Womens issues. Boy where do I start. Abortion stuff, and whether you're against abortion or not its up to a woman as its her body as well as the fact that if you outlaw abortions you lead to women having unsanctioned/unsafe abortions which leads to a lot of deaths. If this doesnt bother you....geesh Trickle down economics. Giving money to the wealthiest never worked out under any republican president. Trump and Bush tried this hard and it ruined the economy. Unregulated capitalism is a disaster, but so is over regulated. Fox news pedals this bad economic practice because a lot of those hosts are owned by corps and absolutely love the money they're making. They're very loaded compared to a lot of left wing hosts. It doesn't pay well to be honest. Fox news pushes the 'buy gold' thing while having personal stakes in those companies all the time. Weren't we upset about the hunter biden thing? Don't yall accuse democrats of corruption and get upset about it. Why not right wingers? Left wingers caught in scandals/MeToo stuff get fired quickly. Bill O'Reilly lasted years and years and got away with it forever. He was evil, tucker is far worse. Look up tuckers John Oliver episode, very good info. Phew!

hagjohn Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) I hate to bust anyones bubble but anyone who believes Twitter is free speech is stupid. All internet sites have to moderate content because we have a lot of morons who hate on this planet. Even the conservative sites that claim they are about free speech moderate their content. BTW, there is a massive drop in advertising because you're a dick. Disfunction has been the theme of this takeover and advertisers do not like disfunction. Now that we have all figured it out, we can move on to something that means something. +primortal 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1422863-marina-sirtis-quits-twitter/page/4/#findComment-598774716 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management always keeps "ammunition" around anyways on the little things like web browsing habits at the office as a way to quick fire people if needed. Either way, they're gone now, and won't be finding any jobs any time soon around here because they snuck into those fields before ppl realized what kinda people they are.
