      It was so difficult to use for a long time, I only ever used it for breaking news. Then I finally found internet creators I liked enough to follow, maybe a few joke accounts. That only lasted for maybe a year and then Elon took over and it’s not worth downloading the app for anymore. Way too many right-wing conspiracy guys now.

    Removed as a protest against the community’s support for campaigns to bring about the deaths of members of marginalized groups, and opposition to private entities working to prevent such campaigns, together with it’s mindless flaming and downvoting of anyone who disagrees.

      Sure it can. Just wait 'til it also becomes your banking app, keeping your money totally safe, then you’ll be able to double trust it. Would space karen x ever lie to anyone? /s

        Of course she wouldn’t lie to anyone. Just wait 'til your totally safely kept money becomes programmable by central banks, regulating where you can spend it, when you can spend it, what you can spend it on, and builds a neat profile of yourself linking every single activity you do, online and offline. We wouldn’t want any terrorists or bad citizens to be out there now, would we? /s

        I’m sure they would offer 6 months of free credit screening as a consolation like all the other companies do. Just enter your social security number so they know what to look out for.

        Ironically, it’s going to be a bunch of “libertarian” tech bros who use crypto for “privacy” who will be the first to give Musk (and by proxy every world government) their ID.

          Probably most monero users dont use kyc exchanges so i dont think they will use kyc twitter let alone the first ones. This may kill twitter, but there is lots of stupid out there like those crypto and bitcoin users lol so you never know.

      It’s not about trusting some idiot. It’s about attaching your identity to your activities online. I remember when these websites used to advise against doxing yourself.

        I mean this whole process is explicitly for the purpose of attaching your identity to your online activities. If you don’t want to do it, just don’t.

        I shudder to think of what will happen when hackers inevitably get into Twitter servers and steal all those IDs though…

      Shouldn’t trust Twitter users either, they’ll take an out of context joke you made back in 2011 and ruin your life over it.

      Honestly, just fuck talking to people online. Literal no good will ever come of it. I’m just gonna stop communicating with people.

          then is trying to lose as little money as possible from this ordeal

          Bro he could have just bought it and done nothing and he would have been better off. I don’t have the same read that you do. My read is that he had specific strategic political interests in buying it and the money/ value/ revenue shit is secondary.

      I have a thought that I can’t let go, that it has been the plan all along to get rid of twitter, but just buying it and shutting it down would cause too much trouble compared to just take crazy decisions until it crashes by itself.

      Not something I strongly belief but a small thought that keeps returning.

        didn’t he try not to buy it and was forced by a court decision?

        thinking that he is evil is to overrate elonMusk.

        He thought he could do whatever he wants and whenever. Laws were there to remind him that his statements had consequences for him.

        he is just making one decision after another.

        that it has been the plan all along to get rid of twitter, but just buying it and shutting it down would cause too much trouble compared to just take crazy decisions until it crashes by itself.
