I was thrown off Twitter for ridiculing the right-wing lunatics and religious fundamentalists that infest it. We now get this: [abc.net.au]twitter-takeover-domination/101591612

I was silenced on Daily Kos. SM is a funny place so I'm trying to not get attached. As is the case with any addictive thing it bears close scrutiny to avoid pain but even then one feels safe until addicted. Then it takes more than scrutiny to avoid further pain. Why would you want to be on Twitter? Their new owner is a shithead. An actual space cadet. I have an ID but spend about 20 minutes/per week on it. With Elon I might spend less.

Twitter has never made much money anyway.

Listed on the New York Stock Exchange for just under nine years, Twitter has posted a net loss every year, except 2018 and 2019 when it made a profit of just over $1 billion.

Musk has his work cut out to make it pay its way.

I’d be interested to see if Trump will be invited back on, plus whether he’d accept. He’s said many times that he’d never used Twitter again. But then again, Trump shifts his stance all the time.

He and Musk are buds so look for that account to get reactivated.

@rainmanjr Wait and see…..Trump has publicly said that he won’t rejoin Twitter after the buy out was announced. Plus he’s got to consider how that affects Truth Social as well.

@Zealandia TS is costing him money and a failure. He'll jump at dumping it, I think, like it were a Casino. What he says publicly, or privately, don't mean shit. Musk is his buddy and way back to glory and 45 knows this, I suspect, like he knows he's a failure.

@rainmanjr Agree, Truth Social is a failure. Trump has to admit that if he goes back onto Twitter.

@Zealandia He will admit no such thing,

So freedom of speech is only for bigots and racists.

Seems that way.

Every person on this site who uses Twitter should leave it. The way to destroy Twitter is to collapse its pool of users. I have had the good sense never to have used it.

Same advice on Facebook, er, I mean Meta.

"and others know for certain played a central part in the misinformation presidency of Donald Trump?"

Sounds a lot like election denial to me. The ABC is not the impartial public broadcaster it used to be.

They never were. Peter Jennings was a hard Con. Once you knew that it was easier to detect facial or delivery indications.

Ahhhh, you hurt their feeling and now they don't want to play. 🙂
