Why is anyone else but nazis on X at this point?
There are still a lot of major commercial and political and media presences there, which is going to mean a lot of people who report on and follow those entities have to maintain their accounts, and all the people who follow those people are still going to be there.
It’s still a huge platform, it’s still used by the majority of the world for all manner of applications. We easily get stuck in weird perspectives of the world and current events because a lot of algorithms push “satisfaction porn” on us, making it look like the current political administration is getting “DESTROYED” by this and that… it’s as false of a worldview as what they consume, it makes us all think that people like Musk are hurting and suffering as consequence of backlash.
If you browse around the fetid hangouts of the conservatives and Techbros who idolize these people, they’re in exactly the same black-hole where perspective cannot escape. “Why would anyone use Bluesky at this point? It’s failing every day!” they will proclaim while laughing at how unphased Musk is, and how much success they’ve been having.
Not making a both-sides argument, just a warning that the algorithm distorts your perspectives - it’s designed to make everyone feel validated and that can be incredibly damaging when you’re trying to affect change on the world.
It’s still owned by a nazi and put forwards nazi ideas. Staying on this platform just mean you accept to be a nazi-enabler because you think it provides you a personal benefit. AFAIC, people on X are selfish and spineless, fuck every single one of them.
fuck every single one of them.
Okay but as I said, it’s still a huge platform, it’s still used by the majority of the world for all manner of applications. Millions of people using it don’t even know or care who Elon Musk is. I don’t disagree that the nazis are a rising problem that will eventually sink the application, I’m just saying absolutism like this is kind of… conservativish and cartoonish.
This is absolutely 100% the exact kind of perspective bubble I am warning us all about.
This is absolutely 100% the exact kind of perspective bubble I am warning us all about.
And I’m warning all of us about the exact kind of perspective you have : convenience and indifference.
That’s exactly what brought us to the point we are, were an un-elected billionaire can do a nazi salute at the potus inauguration without facing any consequence.
Frothing incoherence it is then, ok be well.
Lol, what does that even mean?
I am coherent with my beliefs, I don’t support businesses owned by and promoting nazi ideology.
You are coherent with you belief “that blablablaba insert pedantic rhetoric gonna stay on X”.
I think that as soon as bluesky starts doing verification on accounts, more people will make the switch.
I think a lot of artists are still holding on to their following there, bluesky has a lot of the same features (more actually because it allows you to change settings to hide NSFW images), but it’s hard to migrate a following to a new site.
Its actually easy.
First, post on the alternative site.
Then mirror the post on xitter after 24 hours with an added “Btw, follow me on Bluesky/Mastodon to be the first to see my posts”
Bonus points if you get banned for promoting an alternative platform, that’ll make them seem like their being persecuted and the followers will follow.
If the followers dont follow you then they aren’t followers are they
Well several police department use it ro send our amber alerts. Dear God that’s a terrible idea but it true. Months ago there was a twitter outage that stop any emergency alert from going out.
Amber Alerts have their own system that has nothing to do with Twitter. A lot of people disable it but it rings on your phone the way an emergency alert does and it’s local to your area. I’m sure they also send alerts through twitter, bluesky, and fascist-book just to cover bases but the main system is not dependent on a social media platform. That would be stupid.
Here is a link to the story https://www.wired.com/story/amber-alert-paywall-california/
You should read that article more carefully. The Amber alert went out on the phone system I mentioned but the detailed information was being displayed on Xwitter. And that was a local decision by that particular police force. Obviously a poor decision at that.
Is Elon still trying to prove he can fit in with the gamer crowd? It looks so sad, like Zucky learning martial arts to prive everyone how tough he is. Guys you don’t need to fuck the planet over your teenagehood traumas, just deal with them like any other reasonable person.
Drugs’n stuff?
well elon does do that
Oh, I forgot…
Who? That guy that badgered a judge until he changed his decision for a piece of plastic?
Jesus Christ I’ve never cared about anything less than whatever is going on there. In fact, it’s horseshoe theory in action. It is so far from anything I care about I am actually annoyed it has reached my eyes, and I therefore do care about it. I didn’t think that was possible.
Idk man, I just like when something funny is low stakes and doesn’t threaten my way of life
heavens above how is elon so stupid and yet still alive? He should have mistaken sleeping pills for candy and OD’d by now or something.
The ketamine cancels it out.
Resquiata in pace
That ratio slaps
Brings a tear to the eye
Just an update to the whole chain. Theres good in this world, and its worth fighting for.
Their game is out?
Edit: the commenter’s game is in dev hell
Thanks :)
I think people would be surprised how much Elen gets ratio’d lol
How can you tell ratio? I don’t use Xitter, and have no idea what those symbols mean.
I believe it’s likes (the heart icon) to replies (the chat bubble icon). Usually there are way, way more likes than replies: the ubisoft comment in the screenshot has 9,200/408 which is about 23. The middle comment has 2,400/318 which is about 8. Guessing that’s unusually low.
Musk’s tweet has about 200 retweets and 2.4k ‘hearts’ (likes), Ubisoft’s has 1.9k retweets and has 9.2k hearts. Therefore, nearly 5x the number of people have interacted with Ubisoft’s tweet. A ‘ratio’ of 5:1.
Edit: Guess that’s closer to 4:1, regardless, ratio.
Wait… Is Twitter the source of the “get ratiod” calloquialism?
yep
It’s also the source of “L+ratio”, because you had an “L” take (loser take as opposed to a W take) and the ratio is there to “prove” it .
Grummz is a racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-woke pile of crap.
He is also behind the recently released Schedule 1 game. Don’t buy it.
EDIT: Nope, I was wrong. He is still a bigot, tons of evidence for that. But he was citing Schedule 1 sales numbers and I read that it was his game. But I can’t verify that anywhere so I was mistaken.
How is Kern related to the Schedule I game?
I was mistaken, Grummz cited Schedule 1 in his weird little pissing match with Ubisoft and I assumed he was attached to it.
Is he talking about Hasan the streamer?
Yes
Can someone share some context please
Elon streamed Path of Exiles a Diablo-like online MMORPG pretending he plays often.
Everyone watching knew he didn’t know a thing about the game at all showing he never played it and likely bought or paid someone to level the account for him.
Rich folk like Elon are envious of us regular/poor people. We dress better, are actually funny and do enjoyable shit. Whenever he tries to take part he comes out looking like a big fraud and a dumbass.
Lmfaooo so just like his task in office pretends to know but doesn’t what a bufoon
No amount of money can ever buy skill, true love and friendship, or skill.
Hasan was paid by ubisoft to play the new Assassin’s creed on stream (which he was very clear that it is a paid promotion) grummz got mad and called him a “terrorist supporter” and claimed ubisoft supports terrorism (because Hasan is middle eastern and pro-palestine). Then Elon responded to grummz with this.
(because Hasan is middle eastern and pro-palestine)
Must be his pro-Houthi stances. That also covers ‘called him a “terrorist supporter”’, since plenty of people see the Houthi as terrorists, with them overthrowing the government, even though they do claim to want a democracy (just not one governed by a corrupt president).
There’s also the little bit about them wanting to bring slavery back
Hasan openly glazes Hamas and Houthis. He calls them freedom fighters and showing their propaganda videos while he calls them music Videos.
I’m not into hating vallhalla for stupid reasons, but it’s a fact to call Hasan a terrorist supporter.
I don’t watch Hasan streams or anything, just sometimes catch the clips on yt afterwards, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen him “glaze” Hamas.
Unless you’re saying that Palestinian = Hamas. Is that what you are saying?
If you support the us military or the idf you are a terrorist supporter too
Some more of that whataboutism please. Pretty low strategy to defend terrorist, rapists and murderers.
You always stoop that low to defend evil?
Both sides of the conflict are terrorists, between IDF and hamas, hamas are the lesser evil
Pointing out common hypocrisy relevant to a topic isn’t a whattaboutism, and claiming it is is a pretty transparent attempt to dismiss valid criticism you clearly lack a rebuttal to.
I havent been a hypocrite, have I? Your defense of terrorists is by your definition though.
I wasn’t calling you a hypocrite, they were, I am not them, we are not the same person. I was just pointing out that ‘whattaboutism’ isn’t a harry-potter-esque spell that when shouted properly makes valid criticism disappear.
Chances are they heard someone else use the term “whataboutism” and are just mindlessly parroting it without understanding what it actually is.
One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.
The founding fathers were terrorists, according to the definition the US government uses. They were fighting an occupying force using violence. We now call them heroes and patriots. It’s a matter of perspective.
Did they kidnap ship workers, woman and children to torture and kill them? Was their Slogan “death to america”?
If you support that youve sold your soul and got nothing in return.
did you learn anything about early america? they absolutely did all that except the “death to america” part was really “death to britons”.
Was the slogan of the founding fathers of America “death to america”? Super hard hitting question.
Also there was more than enough rape, murder, and genocide taking place on the part of the American revolutionaries, and it was being actively encouraged by the founding fathers.
This is like the seventh comment saying “but what about…” that I get.
Is that the bar that makes you defend atrocities against civilians?
You need a deep look into your self mate
Are we talking about the Palestinian civilians or the Israelis specifically?
Did they kidnap ship workers
Likely yes
woman and children to torture, rape and kill them
Most of the founding fathers were slave owners so that’s a yes to that as well
Did they parade naked woman through the street?
Americans called it a slave auction
Was their Slogan “death to america”?
Of course not. They were America so why would they say “death to us”? It was more like “death to England and the tyrant King George”.
Life isn’t black and white.
The whole encyclopedia of whataboutism in one comment. Respect
How is this “whataboutism”? They gave instances for every one of your hypotheticals.
I do think that Hamas and Houthis are generally vile human-beings and that the West should not be cheering for the Shia muslim faction. But it is also true that they represent freedom fighters to some - especially those in Palestine currently being murdered (genocide) so Israel can have more living space
Yeah, that’s not what whataboutism is. The person was asked several questions, and they answered them. They even quoted each individual question before answering it.
That’s not how whataboutism works.
You asked, I answered. Simple as.
Don’t ask the questions if you don’t want them answered lmao
I’m sorry but if you can’t even remotely see from where Hasan (or the other commenter) is coming from then you’re literally no better than what you blame him to be. Israel has been terrorizing Palestinians probably longer than you’ve been alive and America has been supporting Israel since the beginning. Are you really surprised when the Palestinians, who have been terrorized their entire life, radicalize into Hamas and start shouting “death to America”?
How convenient that you ignore the rapes and murders and just argue about their slogan.
I don’t have to ignore it. Isreal gets it’s own wiki page of rape and torture . You’ll be hard pressed to find anything Hamas has done that Isreal hasn’t done 10 times worse.
That torture, rape, and murder stuff sounds nearly as bad as what Americans and Israelis do daily.
go back to dgg or h3 whichever hole you came out of
It’s not my cup of tea. Ive been following Hasan for a long time until it became too obvious he just wants to groom the viewers to terrorists.
Dont forget Grimes called Hasan hot. Musk be jellouse
Apparently people started posting grimes on Hasan stream under elons tweets. I hope this pushes him to finally put all of us out of misery
Every further post raises the chance of ketamin overdose!
Hasan is Turkish, not Middle Eastern.
I am not about to start a geopolitical debate about where the middle east ends on a cirlcejerk community
I didn’t think it was a controversial take… In fact, I wasn’t aware that it was a take at all.
Oh my god, a streamer shouldn’t advertise a mediocre game to get compensation for their work? Has anyone told the Raid Shadow Legends steamers?
A side comment, Ubisoft was promoted in a show on Apple, for a while, people did not like how propagandized it was
I like Mythic Quest… Then again, I’m a normal person that lives in the real world and could not care less about Ubisoft’s involvement.
Hey wait Ubisoft you’re not allowed to be this cool.
Imagine being dunked and ratio’d by fucking Ubisoft. Even a billionaire should have enough shame to kill themselves.
It would be so funny if the muskrat would uninstall himself over this.
“Breaking News: Elon Musk Found Dead After Apparent Ketamine Overdose”
Ubisoft is based now?
Praising them for being less shitty then musk is stupid.
In comparison to Musk. It tells you more about Musk than Ubi.
Uncommon Ubisoft associated W (Ubisoft is a French company so its not surprising TBH)
3 of the worst public personae feeding of each other for relevance. A real human centipede type shit, shame Musk is on the beginning end.
I like Hasan. Deal with it.
congratulations

Common error, but it’s actually the “saving Americans from money” department.
Down at the ol’ de-employment agency.
How this guy still has time for games and twitter is beyond me,
I have an easy, simple answer.
He doesn’t actually work or play games. He spends all his time scrolling and tweeting from his many, many accounts, has people playing games for him.
