    Just saying, when your biographer emphasizes how you are hopelessly addicted to being at the center of drama and you have zero empathy for anyone else...chances are you are a narcissistic sociopath.

    Elmo says subscription fees will help cull the bots.
    My cynicism is pegged. Nobody with a functioning mind will pay to be on his horrible shit show of a platform. This ought to be fun to watch.

    Threads should make a serious effort to bring over the journalists, the only reason i go to Twitter is for breaking news. Many have started accounts but dont bother posting.

    Elon "pay me to break your news here, on my site, where I make all the money (well, me and my Saudi terrorist backers)...and I should probably remind you again, that you pay me for that privilege".

    You're spot on - Threads should reduce their adoption friction and steal Elon's content makers by $incentivizing$ them.... even as a loss leader for the time being. Step on the neck.

    The arc of technology is long but it bends toward user-owned co-ops.

    Mastodon, in this case. Hopefully.

    In the meantime, nitter.net is pretty literally Twitter without Musk. Unless you follow him, I guess.

    220 pages about Elon Musk and a world obsessed with Twitter/X…..maybe people will pay.

    Wait. Is it bad because it’s low grade? Or because it’s speed?

    There's nothing "low-grade" about it, it's pure amphetamine.

    There's no reason to sully the reputation of a fine upstanding drug like ketamine just because a douchenozzle like Elon uses it.

    The Allies used amphetamine while the Nazi's preferred methamphetamine, which probably played a small part in them losing the war.

    We had a thread devoted to this wwII drugs topic. Should we withdraw your University of TGR degree?

    Yeah but the Methnazis had more fun going on 7day long blitzkrieg benders.

    Just an observation: where my news articles used to often include twitter links/embedding - lately - X embedding is seldom seen, only where the X post is the main thrust of the article.

    I'm largely a mainstream news person - right smack in the middle - established, credible organizations.

    So, it appears, Elon-X is being starved and orphaned. As it should. Undeserving of legitimacy.
