To this day I am still calling the website Twitter and access it every single time typing twitter.com. That rename was so dumb. So, I really love the name

The number of people who do this is the number of reasons Elon can give to the trademark judge that he is actually using the trademark Twitter and it shouldn't be invalidated for non-use.

paypal should have never ever given back Musk the x domain and ICANN should have nuked it long ago but all that aside, wtf is anyone still on it Musk is a mass murderer apparently the nazis would still be in power today if they just had a web service people were too freaking lazy and addicted to ever quit and Tesla "FSD" is still trying to murder passengers a decade later but that's also definitely a choice

I mean, that basically is how the Nazis had power

Based on the downvotes, there's a lot of folks who just can't stand to be reminded who and what they're associating with by continuing to use Twitter. Folks, you don't have to give the nazi bar your business. You will live without Twitter.

'everyone who disagrees with me is a nazi'

When what they said is that Nazis are bad... literally yes? Literally everyone who disagrees with "Nazis are bad" is literally a nazi.

Here in the Netherlands, WhatsApp has the defacto communication tool. Everyone is expected to have it installed, not just by friends but also municipals and companies. Same level as having an e-mail address. It's a missed opportunity for the digital soverignty the EU says it so badly needs. The code for a government backed WhatsApp competitor is there, in multiple instances even. Launch a WhatsApp clone and put all g…

There is a carrier neutral WhatsApp, called SMS.

Not even remotely close.

I think you’re talking to bots. Anything that doesn’t align with Trump/Elon’s perceived worldview gets downvoted here.

No, he's downvoted because he's saying objectively false things like "Musk is a mass murderer", and subjective but unproductive things like "he's a Nazi". You can dislike Elon Musk and make that point in a mature way that actually leads to a good discussion. People do that all the time and don't get flak for it. This poster has chosen to be incendiary, and people dislike flamebait so it got downvoted.

DOGE killing a few million people is no secret.

I used Twitter for over 10 years without an account then suddenly in 2022 that was completely disrupted and no longer an option. Reddit is now this way too.

That's why we really need some kind of non profit or maybe two "social media" sites made with the public good in mind. One could be officially government sanctioned and funded (sort of like Voice of America but internal to the US more so) and have a strict organisation verification policy for local police / government and other quasi public entities (say like transportation systems and energy companies - etc)

This is Mastodon, and there are instances such as https://ec.social-network.europa.eu.

Do you think if government accounts were on Signal, people would install it?

Signal requires a mobile phone for an account; so it's not entirely web-friendly. Plus, can you read what's posted to signal without an account?

>Reddit is now this way too.

You can still use https://old.reddit.com with no login. It's cleaner and snappier.
