Janelle Monae is my Goddess :heart:

Seems like Musk is driving anyone sensible away from Twitter. There are lots of them appearing on Threadsā€¦

Anyone sensible wasnā€™t on there in the first place.

A lot of journalists and people in politics have had to be there to keep up with the news.
Itā€™s become such a cesspit that this reason is no longer relevant.

The one big selling point of Twitter was the verified blue tick. This meant that if someone posted something, you knew it was them. (or, at least, their official account).

Once that went, there was no reason to treat anything as trustworthy. Iā€™ve since noticed, with AI being used by news companies, that it is very difficult to find reliable news stories: Just think how many supposedly reliable news outlets refered to stabbings in ā€œStockportā€ rather than ā€œSouthportā€ last week.

After the civil war comment and comparing British Bobbies to the Gestapo, isnā€™t it time that everyone left Twitter? Why continue to support that loathsome hatemonger?
I know that some people on here use it for football or politics gossip, but canā€™t that be found elsewhere?

I use it.
I follow 8 golf accounts and nothing else.
Obviously other shit reaches my feed, but mostly itā€™s not of interest.

I could say the same about Facebook (which I deleted years ago), a cesspit of disgusting gossip and inappropriate content.
Donā€™t see a clamour to boycott it.

I only really use it for links from here.

Me too, Iā€™ve never had an account, but canā€™t people just post links from other sites?

It would be great if TAN was Musk free.

Edit: It would be great if the world was Musk free.

Loving this new trend from all the hard arse RWNJs worried about ending up in prison. Of course, itā€™s more performative than anything, Iā€™d wager.

Very important, you must understand. This is what YOU should care about. Not the Russian invasion, Gaza, the coming US election or anything that will actually affect your life; but Woke virus degeneracy, eroding the masculinity of your mind, deflating your phallus and turning you into a pathetic water pistol man.

He never had it in the first place, heā€™s just gotten worse at hiding that fact.

Fair point.

Lovely turn of phrase above, @Magnusā€¦

Youā€™ve been thinking about this for a while, havenā€™t you??
