    Can we just pretend that Twitter no longer exists?

    All that Elon Musk still tries here is how far he has to go until Twitter finally collapses.

      Also, can we stop polluting the tech comms with this crap? Why are people posting this stuff here again? We were perfectly fine for awhile with no musk Twitter shit posts.

        Just block it. Wait, no, that “feature” makes no sense.

        Non-shitpost: I know everyone is annoyed by now, but Ex-Twitter is a huge website and relevant?

          Relevant to what?

          This conversation has had is back and forth far too many times. Twitter spam is not relevant to technology news. Him not blocking people has no barring on any form of new tech. It belongs in the !nomoremuskspam@lemmy.world comms, that’s why that was created.

            It became a platform in which the whole world communicated about anything and everything. Maybe it still is to an extent, but knocking down the world’s platform plank by plank isn’t an absurd thing to write about

              I absolutely agree.
              That doesn’t mean its had anything to do with technology. A business comm or the above mentioned spam community would be a better fit.

              But like I said earlier that has been discussed a million times already. I’m not discussing it anymore.

            The Fediverse is already fractured and niche, are you saying that someone should fine the perfect 36 user community, that only those subscribers are knowledgeable about, to post this to? Or perhaps news about the global platform might be relevant in the largest technology community?

            2 years ago Twitter was where news broke, now it is where we get to watch a billionaire go broke in real time.

            If it bothers you so much, block all mentions of the platform, person, etc.

              You’re right. Why bother having separate communities for different subjects and interests? That’s just stupid. How silly of us.

          I agree with you. Personally I like seeing the meltdown without having to actually visit the site. Same reason I appreciate seeing how Reddit has gone full Digg4.0 but haven’t visited the site since the 3rd Party Apps died.

          This is/has a significant impact on technology and media.

          It isn’t relevant to the billions of people who don’t use Twitter. At this point it’s just celebrity schadenfreude.

        Not to be an idiot - but where should people post this stuff? I mean, I do find it interesting occasionally, and like to see what other’s think, not so much complaining that it was posted at all.

        It’s gotten to the point where I’ve even blocked the communities that are supposed to be making light of the fact that there’s too much musk spam… because I’m tired of all the musk spam…

        Hrs irrelevant and nobody can change my mind. He can fuck right off idc.

        The Comnect android app has a keyeord filter. Would seem easy enough to just put ‘musk’ inthere and unless you have an interest in muskies, muskrats, or some men’s cologne lines it would filter things pretty cleanly.

          Nah. I’d rather people posted relevant posts in comms.

          But I didn’t know about the keyword filter, that is cool to have available. Thanks!

            It strikes me as wierd that you’d rather everyone else use the community the way you want it instead of just using a filter that makes it what you want it to be. Some people want to keep up with these things without following communities desicated to musk and they don’t have to agree to use this conmunity exactly the way you want it to be used.

      YES PLEASE. I fucking swear it genuinely feels like about 15% of the posts here are about Elon.

      People need to ignore this prick and move on with their lives

      Twitter. stopped existing a long time ago, when it was bought out and gutted. It’s the gathering place of fascists now.

      Not for as long as it’s relevant to hundreds of millions of people.

      But I would agree that “Elon says he’s going to do it” is not much of news until it actually happens.

      I’m ok with drawing attention to this stuff. Every time more Twitter shit hits the news, Fediverse apps get another boost of users.

      I down vote any post on here that mentions X, Twitter, or Elon, usually without even reading them. I made an exception to post this reply, but did down vote the OP.
