"Excellent", responds Musk to himself.

Musk looks at Facebook and Nextdoor... "WE'RE #1! WE'RE #1!"

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Never heard of Nextdoor. What is that?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I briefly used it. It connects you to all of your neighbors. It's good for knowing what's going on in your community.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Also good for finding out how many racists live near you.

Nextdoor? Is misinformation really being spread on a physical community app? "We had a package thief last week. I know they're tied to Hunter Biden and the Democrats! MAGA 2024!!!!"

Oh, you would be shocked. Lots of vaccine disinfo for example.

I mean, someone needs to engage with the bots on that platform and he's certainly not going to pay someone else to do it.

I am absolutely shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Well not that shocked

Twitter has always been the platform of smooth brains. It's not surprising it is all full of shit.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 2 years ago

They used to moderate. Scientific discussion there was also top tier

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Twitter could be a very different experience depending on who you followed. That's not the case anymore.

And the article ends in the author's Follow me on Twitter.

Don't forget people discussing the virtues of Nazism openly!

Don't you hate it when you're trying to type and your Enter key transforms into a Fake News key?

noncredible take: musk is a us gov sock puppet and if x is like this then its because that allowes 3 letter agencys to lure certein ppl in security to speak so they can be tracked better.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

This would be plausible if there weren't so many examples of the FBI utterly failing to pick up on strings of red flags on social media.
