"Remember, Free Speech is when I, and only I, can say whatever the hell I want!" - Elon Musk

How is twitter still standing? Mastodon is the way of the future

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (4 children)

I sometimes wonder how much it would take to get people to leave X en masse. Maybe if Elon was posting Nazi propaganda?

[–] Kage520 17 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Nope. I sent this article to my trumper friend and he said "yeah the eu is a horribly corrupt organization". If Elon promoted Nazi propaganda they would be excited and embrace that too.

Maybe if something else big came along and everyone was like "you're still using Xitter? Lol okay boomer" they might consider moving over. Maybe.

to be fair I don't think that there is anyone who wants these kind of people to move to mastodon

I dunno, the only people applauding nazis lately seem to be the canadian parliament

The entire division was cleared by the Canadian government in the 80s

[–] SMT42 1 points 9 months ago

Oh, thank you canada for pardoning nazis, then?

Not even. Remember he was funding people like Andrew Tate thousands of dollars. Nothing is gonna get these people out unless they get charged to use twitter

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

A lot of people don't think Andrew Tate is wrong so I don't think that's a great argument (or at least that's what appears to be on places like insta, etc)

Honestly I'm surprised it didn't become a ghost town like Tumblr did after they banned porn.

Lots of them surely will migrate to Mastodon when Elon releases that fee bs. Honestly, we should thank Elon for that. Thanks to him, Mastodon will become mainstream soon.

I'm sure that's only for blue checks.

If lemmy didn't take over the world after the Reddit schism then I don't think twitter will ever die either. Twitter users have been given every reason to leave yet there's already lots of people paying money to the person they hate the most in the world just to use it. And most of those people aren't really people anymore, they're twitter users on every level of their being. It would be like a blobfish out of water.
