For many people, social media was a valuable tool during the last US election cycle for many people to get information that differ from fox and co. Now, right before the whole circus starts up again, Musk and spez are making "bad" decisions with their platform, to drive people away from those to other products like facebook, threads, … Stuff that is easier to "manage" in terms of what people get to see - and let's face is, the people that end up here are a vast minority. And don't get me started about stuff like the Arab spring, where twitter was very important to communicate. I'm not saying this is 100% happening, but I wouldn't be surprised if Musk and co. are simply paid by certain people to fuck up social media, so we go back to a time when information and communication is easier to control. Now put your tinfoil hats away, they are a serious heat risk in today weather! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] maynarkh@feddit.nl 9 points 3 years ago (1 child) stuff like the Arab spring Would explain why the Saudis gave money to Musk to buy Twitter. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hoshikarakitaridia@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 years ago Huh that's the first time I've heard that.
