Twitter isn't allowing posts to be viewed if you're not signed in, which is now resulting in Google removing Twitter links from search results. That alone is doing more harm than any other stupid moves by Musk. Him implementing caps on user activity doesn't need any further elaboration.

Reddit is going to have some dead links that might deter a small percentage of potential new users who find them through a Google search. I think we'll get a better picture of how reddit will move forward after they replace mods and reopen large subreddits.

any other stupid moves by Musk.

What are you talking about? This is literally the be thing Musk has ever done in his entire life. The man finally got rid of twitter from my google search result. Fucking bless.

Can he buy Pintrest next?

I hate Pinterest with a passion. It's site is such a chaotic mess, it monopolizes Google searches, most of the content is lazy, it's just an all around bad time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On Google it helps doing my regular search term -site:pinterest.com.

Pinterest was actually what caused me to learn that function

And it's pretty much all stolen content at this point. Stolen content that you need a fucking account to view, and even so it still shows up in searches.

Oh please do

Twitter is 100% killing itself faster and it's not even close

To be fair, they have a head start. Spez would have to incredibly step up his crazy game to compete.

Spez would have to incredibly step up his crazy game to compete.

You mean, like intentionally removing accessibility features from the site or by restoring deleted content and accounts?

As bad as that is, it's nowhere near as destructive as limiting how many posts one can view

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

At least they pay their cloud hosting bills.

Definitely Twitter. So far Reddit hasn't done anything that doesn't make at least some logical sense financially or business wise. Don't get me wrong, Reddit is being royally stupid and will burn itself down, it just hasn't gotten to that point yet.

I think if one dies first it is reddit because it is based on content from mostly anonymous users. Twitter relies on mostly real names and popular people you can follow. And if these people won't switch, twitter stays alive.

Youtube are trialling a ban on ad blockers.

Twitter. Elon had a head start.

Apartheid Emerald Boy is very used to head starts..

They should put musk and spez in a lock-in at the dev center for a few days. Scratch that, could you imagine them joining forces!?

[–] nei7jc 1 points 1 year ago

Ok... Picture this: every crazy rich CEO coming together and buying out the American government system.

They won't die, at best they'll slowly peter out as far right-wing trolls and bots take over and algorithms push that cancer to the top. I've already reached the threshold that I can tolerate on those platforms just like I did with Facebook years ago.
