As far as I'm concerned it's already there. 70% of respondents wanted Alex Jones unbanned.
If you believe Elron didn’t just make up whatever results he wanted. I watched it and the ratio didn’t change at all in the last 800,000 votes, which seems a little weird.
Trust nothing from Musky. Its either lies, stock manipulation or lies.
It's not like that poll goes to everyone, it goes to musk's followers first and foremost.
Musk's posts go to everyone I'm pretty sure. Many people unfollowed him and he didn't like that, so now you get his excretes whether you want to or not.
That is the most pathetic thing I've ever heard.
I see a merger in the future. They can complete the circle of bullshit and nonsense like the dragon 69ing its tail
Our Rob or Ross?
Red Dwarf reference?

Nodnol? Where in the world is Nodnol?
London, but its opposite day
Yeah it makes total sense. It's a fantastic way to make sure you only get the most gullible, hardcore idiots that are easy to make money off.
It's like those longer running scams. They have built in mechanisms to find the best marks, by disqualifying anyone who might not be easy to convince early.
Same here. If you cultivate a crowd of conspiracy theorists, that have a proven track record of being easily swayed not by evidence but by lack of evidence, then you got the full-day morons eating from your hand.
I wish the technology community was more about technology.
Technology is inherently related to social issues. Pretending otherwise is how you get the "libertarian tech bro" company that usurps the autonomy of national elections.
This will also (assuming republicans don't further consolidate power...) likely lead to a further examination (and series of lawsuits) on how responsible a platform is for what it is platforming. Because alex jones famously got sued to hell and back for his many many many hateful and evil conspiracy theories on The Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting
Post the content you want to see.
Yeah it fucking sucks. It's mostly business news. And now it seems anything tangentially related to social networks is now fair game too. This is like having a community on pens and having a bunch of articles about books written flooding the community. "But they wrote the book initially in pen so it fits in this community".
Also occasionally random links to some "Pen Island" what ever that might be
Hey. Quit using Twitter, ok?
Never joined ✌️
Is anyone even using x? What a shit hole
My account has been silent since Musk bought Twitter. I've to muster the courage to ask my mutuals to follow me on another platform or exchange Telegram handles.
It is the only social media I can still view only those I follow and in chronological order. I don't like the algorithms. I re-followed Elon for about 12 hours the other day. Then I remembered why I unfollowed.
Leaving whilst it was still Twitter was one of the best decisions I ever made. It's never too late to just step away from X.
Well, well, well, if it isn't the alt-right idiot spouting his runner-up information. I guess he's joining his crowd of idiots.
Is there a technology sub that's about technology?
same, this one is shit. the worst part is that this very post was by a moderator's bot.
I'd gladly help to moderate a better tech community if needed.
Hope it leads to harsher penalties given his recent court loss.
Elon saw how much Alex is making from his "rare earth mineral supplements" and said shit I want in. Alex lost everything in his divorce and got banned from every major platform and all it did was increase his store sales. Hell Elon is most likely asking for advice.
Twitter really must have lost about all their advertising if they think BrainMush Plus pill advertising might save them.
Expropriate Musk!
