Every Musk thread smacks of desperation since the histrionics on here the day he took over and fired all those indispensables.

The site will go down imminently! Traffic is cratering! Everyone I know have switched to mylittlepony tooting on mastodon!

I get it, you don’t like him, by all means. But stop manifesting reality.

Edit: awww you guys, sorry if I hurt your feelings. Twitter is down, tooting ftw! musk bad, I conform with all your pet issues and hatreds, please don’t shun me!

Well, I expect that Twitter will now be banned by every corporate filter in existence.

Well that's kinda tough now. A lot of companies still do their own comms on Twitter.

For the same reason we have spotify blocked at work, but not youtube because we publish our comms there. Which results in... people listening to music videos and wasting a ton of bandwidth for no reason (because they're downloading the video just for the music). A bit stupid but the powers that be are unwilling to unblock spotify.

This is rather misleading: as the article explains, porn was always permitted on Twitter—it was never prohibited by Twitter's ToS. Actually, I'm rather confused what the substance of this story is. Is it just a finer sub-classification of the NSFW label system?

You can use YouTube music for just listening to music

I don't recall anyone on here saying the site will just go down forever. The general consensus here was that there'd be more bugs/glitches and a general degradation in quality. This seems to have panned out

Kinda nice actually. This is like the one thing Musk has done at Twitter that I agree with. I think sexuality is a normal part of life, we shouldn't be so fussy about it (within consent obviously). It's not even always for money, many people just enjoy it sharing their content. However it should be behind a filter of course. Just like reddit does. So those who are interested can view it and the rest can avoid it.

Pornography is damaging to society/to those that view it.
