Ah, so he's going to stop posting there? Right?

[-] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 205 points 2 years ago

Now that the election is over and we won, let's remove our bots. - musk

[-] takeda@lemm.ee 84 points 2 years ago

Oh, c'mon, who's going to tell him he is the best dad? He needs them.

[-] garretble@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago

Ah, but there are still elections in other parts of the world, like Germany, where he is also very active

[-] barlog@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 years ago

No, bots are still needed for hating illegal immigrants.

No no, guys, you're misunderstanding. He MEANS there's too much negativity from people saying things like "X sucks since musk bought twitter....."

He's going to change those people's tweets to say "X is great!"

And by that I mean he's going to have a team to edit tweets that he doesn't like!

If that's not free speech, then Musk doesn't know what is!

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

This is exactly what he means.

Next up the sanctioned daily hate.

[-] ISOmorph@feddit.org 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This has nothing to do with Twitters image. He could have enforced that decision sooner if it was. This is about Trump. The negativity was helpful during Bidens presidency. Now that Trump is about to take over everything has to look like the world is happy again. It's political manipulation.

He’s shutting down his account?

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago

No he's gonna ban anyone who disagrees with him.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 years ago

That ain't going to turn down the negativity though

A cisgender guy.

Free speech abolitionist, more like.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 64 points 2 years ago

my puppet is in power — everyone be nice now.

Instead of “bad” you have to say “ungood” from now on.

[-] SDK@midwest.social 10 points 2 years ago

Double plus ungood!

"Maybe if you tell me the bad news in a good way, it won't sound so bad."

X/Twitter is a misinformation platform. If you know a major influencer that uses, consider informing and directing them to the ActivityPub alternatives, even advertising on their platforms if you can.

Closing the shop will achieve that goal perfectly.

I thought the whole point of being right wing was being negative?

Now that the election is over, he’s hiding the lightning rod.

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 years ago

He's such a fucking baby

[-] Cosmicomical@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

Right, he should remove the last few humans and replace them with bots.

[-] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 years ago

Incumbent wants everyone to talk about how great things are.

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Project mayhem needs to take his balls

Don't want any Debbie-downers on Shitter once his bestie is in the big chair.

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 years ago

I mean in principle this is just a matter of moderation being different from censorship.

But really, an "algorithm tweak"? I am still wondering when or why who decided that we needed to have "algorithms" that someone could "tweak" on the Internet at all. The first kind of "social media" I ever used was web forums where the entire "algorithm" was thread bumping, and even if you insist that we need to have the structure of a microblog: Mastodon does fine without an "algorithm" beyond reverse-chronological sorting.

I'm curious whether Truth Social will acquire Xitter, or vice versa.

And when.

[-] misk@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

My bet is on a scenario where Elon is going to ban people for using 'cisgender' term rather than downranking them.

[-] Jinni@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Should just use his AI to turn all the negative comments into positive ones.

Problem solved 🙃

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 12 points 2 years ago

Um, Elon Musk is a... brilliant man with lots of well thought-out, practical, ideas. He is insuring the financial security of this company for years to come. Oh yes, and his personal hygiene is above reproach.

Reading the title I thought he'll retire.

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Yes, that town square needs to be happy. That's a happy democracy!

Mate, the bunting looks awfully like swastikas...

But happy, less negative swastikas, right?

Sure.

What an unserious human Musk is.

[-] Railison@aussie.zone 8 points 2 years ago

Now that his pick has won the election there’ll be no need for negativity now!
