The EU says X is the worst platform for disinformation | Just as it removes a way to report election misinformation::undefined
The election misinformation seems to be the point. Why else would someone bankroll Twitter/X?
This has been my thought the whole time. In general, just to put down the effective communication of the masses in real time, that is scary to a certain small group of people.
If it’s the worst for disinformation then it’s the best for information, right? Right?

How is twitter still standing? Mastodon is the way of the future

So the replacement for something that everyone has heard of, is something that no one has heard of?
Are you the genius behind replacing Sierra Mist with Starry?
Isnt Threads part ox instagram? So they already have a large userbase to target.
It already was prior to Musk’s takeover.
It’s just always been a cesspool. A complete waste of human energy and time. And it never once turned a profit. An abject failure by every metric.
And it never once turned a profit.
Not true.
Twitter was profitable at the time when that Elon guy bought it (and before, and some time after).

We watching how daft Elon is in real time, and his fan boys and girls are still trying to tell us he’s smart…
One of my coworkers swears he’s just the biggest troll and this is all some part of his masterplan.
It’s because he’s wanted to make X a thing since 2000. Even if he was being a troll, it’s not a joke if he’s just making everyone miserable. That’s not humour, it’s an anti-social weirdo and his dipshit followers thinking that hurting other people is funny.
A 42 billion troll. He’s King Clown in a hateful circus. Masterful.
…worst platform for disinformation…
Is that a double negative, or am I hallucinating ?
English professor: It’s impossible for a double positive to be negative.
Random student: Yeeeah, riiight…
Should be “worst platform at handling disinformation”
Now that makes sense.
Musk probably sees this as a confirmation it’s working as intended.
It’s a (re)public(an) town square.

Just imagine one could complain about the last remaining posts of this dying platform!
Has the EU ever watched the media talking heads or read a newspaper, they contain government propaganda and intel agency talking points
if you think you’re going to get actual real information off any website in the modern world…i guess…grow up? all the regulation in the world won’t change it. the vast majority of internet traffic is porn and substanceless meming and shit posting. humans being human. and most of them believe they are involved in deep, important, change-producing activity while they are doing it. as they sit in their shitty apartment consuming electricity and oxygen, changing exactly nothing and helping no one. If you want to change the world for the better, get the fuck off the internet and go become something that helps people. Be a fucking paramedic or something.
Disregarding the irony of your authoritative stance, as it is your opinion…It’s not only possible but better to do both?
I’m with you on the TL;DR that equals mindfulness is more work than virtue signaling, but did you consider that internet arguments,(communication) are as intrinsic to the human experience as porn and memeing?
You can work a job that helps others, volunteer in your local community, and practice mindfulness while attempting to elevate and spread good vibes to others.
I don’t recommend anyone try to do all of them at the same time, and in the case of jobs that’s not even a healthy consideration in the face of modern life pragmatics. Which we should change yes, but that’s another discussion.
Your observations are valid, and correct. For everyone. But it’s a “some of the time” thing; It takes practice and support to become the kind of person who can actively choose to put aside those coping mechanisms.
fair enough! i shall humble myself :) and tell you that the last time I tripped on psychedelics, the idea of coming on the internet to…influence other’s opinions…seemed childish and naive to the extreme. I only come on here now in the hopes that one tiny number of people might see a comment and be motivated to “get off the internet” and do something “real”.
How did you come to the conclusion that people meming on the internet are trying to create a better place? They are probably only after recognition.
