The hell is that? Being deep webbed and devolving into a place exclusively for Q discussion with the rest of the site being an abandoned toxic wasteland?the 8chan treatment

LETHAL impersonation. holy shit what is it with Twitter chuds and everything being escalated into being life and death (except the things that are, like nuclear war)
YASSSS KANG RELEGATE BLUE CHECKMARK OF UNWARRANTED SELF-IMPORTANCE FROM CELEBS, DUMBASS JOURNALISTS AND ATTENTION WHORES TO ATTENTION WHORES WITH MORE MONEY THAN BRAINS, THIS WILL SURELY OWN THE LIBS!!!1man this thread is funny
elon musk bootlickers are genuinely the dumbest motherfuckers with access to the internet
We need more corpo shit like musk running social medias to kill them, truly a plutocratic accelerationism.
- People just give up on social media entirely (lolyeahright)
I think Twitter is in a shitstorm rn, but man, that was such a Chad move.Have any of you seen what happened with Eli Lilly? I'll summarize with two pictures

To elaborate, someone paid the $8 to put a blue checkmark on a fake account impersonating Eli Lilly, the company that controls distribution of insulin in the US. Insulin as a drug was specifically not patented by its inventor because he wanted it to remain accessible to everyone who needs it, but Eli Lilly charges exorbitant amounts for a drug that's actually rather cheap to manufacture. Seriously, look up the price of insulin in every other country, it's ridiculous.
The lasting effects:

People are guessing there's going to be some kind of lawsuit surrounding this, because Eli Lilly isn't the only one this has happened to, it just happened to be the biggest one.
Aside from that, at least half of Twitter's biggest advertisers have pulled all ads from the site, many of their key figures in running the site have resigned, and there are whispers of a variety of lawsuits from a whole bunch of people, including the FTC.
Well it is supposedly super easy to make your own Twitter alternative, I mean after all that's what Twitter defenders have said for over a decade now...
- Twitter's value plummets to where Musk eventually sells it for peanuts (not likely given his ego), new owners fix all the damage and everyone returns to it
For the longest time I thought the main woes of the modern web were a result of the structure of it (highly centralized social media) but as time has gone on I've realized it's more so the people who comprise it, mainly the "normies" if you will. I sincerely hope they stick to the shitholes they dwell in rather than exodus into other communities that formed in spite of them.
- Enough people join the Fediverse to start a renaissance of decentralized/federated services, meaning Musk (accidentally) did something good for once
I don't think the people complaining about Twitter are going to quit the site, let alone social media in general. They're legitimately addicted to the dopamine and false sense of importance it grants.

Shitposters once again proving to be the most powerful beings on earth. Just hoping the lawsuit gets directed towards Twitter rather than the individual poster who made the account.Have any of you seen what happened with Eli Lilly? I'll summarize with two pictures

I think there are four distinct camps in this shitshow. Firstly you have the journo class who is infuriated their hugbox is being set on fire by a crazed Boer. Secondly you have the HackerNews techbros who think Elon is the Christ of technology and who really truly believe he will make twitter a better place. Thirdly, you have people who think Musk actually has their back and think there's some master Qanon tier plan to save free speech on the Internet and that being nearly court-ordered to take on billions in debt is a 12-D chess move that will result in the U.S. Supreme Court overturning the 2020 election and installing Trump as God Emperor. Finally you have my group, which truly hates twitter and thinks it has severely damaged the Internet and society writ large, who thinks the first three groups are fun to meme on, and relish the idea of twitter going out in a blaze of fake verified Joe Biden accounts talking about masturbating in the oval office. The public phone call he had with the ad federation was one of the funniest things I have heard in a long, long time.man this thread is funny

Well, I think they feed into each other. The structure of these sites attract awful people, and the awful people attract nasty organizations and/or individuals who see them as easy-to-manipulate cattle.Well it is supposedly super easy to make your own Twitter alternative, I mean after all that's what Twitter defenders have said for over a decade now...
