That is like, “Hey, MCDonalds is going bankrupt! Better buy all their hamburgers and give it to randoms!” but the hamburgers do not exist and he does it anyways.

Please don’t turn this community into another Musk news ticker.

Agree, I don’t really care about that platform

Moonrise2473 ,

I also don’t care but I’m really enjoying the schadenfreude

chickenwing ,

I agree. I don’t really consider social media “technology” anymore. I mean yeah it uses technology but so does everything else. I don’t think technology is the right community for this kind of post. There should be an enshittification community where we can see all the Twitter, reddit, and meta stuff.

In fact a lot of “technology” companies are just regular companies with an app. Netflix is a media company, Uber is a taxi company that somehow skirted regulators, and Airbnb is a hotel company that also skirted regulators.

In tech, “disruption” is another word for “skirting regulation before the law catches up”.

lo9rd ,

With RIF is just straight blocked posts containing Musk, Rowling etc, plenty of specific subreddits and managed to make my /all experience a great one. I’m hoping I can do that down the line with Lemmy too!

randfur ,

I’m happy to learn about significant updates to the health of the platform but not as literal Musk tweets pls.

keep it up guys, we’ve got this lmao

PeachMan , to technology in Brave's aggressive marketing
@PeachMan@lemmy.one avatar

Maybe, but there are LOT of weirdly aggressive Brave fanboys out there that would probably say shit like this without getting paid. Not sure how they convinced people that they were so great. Brave is a decent browser but it has a sketchy history, just like the people behind it. Would definitely recommend staying away.

Remember the 50% number is just what he was comfortable with publishing to the public

We have no reason to believe his public statistics

Moonrise2473 ,

100% of the ads I see on Twitter today are dropshipping scams, while in the pre-musk era they were highly targeted to my job and interests to the point that if there wasn’t the “ad” tag I couldn’t distinguish that.

They can’t cost the same for the advertiser, a generic dropshipping scam that targets everyone must be cheap

ghariksforge OP ,

Indeed. Elon is a pathalogical liar.

Why would he tweet about his losses in the first place? I applaud his openness (/s) but I doubt any investors or advertisers will come running to a dying social networking.

danc4498 ,

I think it’s either better than 50, or he expects it to be better shortly so when he says it’s 40, he can celebrate how good he did for the +10.

AbouBenAdhem ,

He thinks it gives him an excuse to escalate his erratic decision-making.

traveler01 ,

What does he has to gain in lying anyway? It’s not like he cares about what investors think since Twitter is now a private company owned by him.

eoddc5 ,
@eoddc5@lemmy.world avatar

He’s a pathological liar. He doesn’t gain anything from it

traveler01 ,

You’re painting him like he’s a super villain, that’s pure hate for him. Why?

@eoddc5@lemmy.world avatar

Has Elon musk done a lot recently to earn your trust and support?

Queso is such a cute name for a cat.

Yeah

This is how it should work. I don’t want to have to sign up on every different service. If people I want to follow choose to post stuff there that I want to read, I can do so from my Mastodon account.

Looks like its coming to hit you

I might be a stale pull request

betterdeadthanreddit , to softwaregore in My bad!

Makes me wonder whether there’s a whitespace character getting included in the comparison. Lowest bid developer doing lowest bid developer things.

febra , to technology in Advertising revenue in Twitter crashes by 50%

Good. Twitter is a cess pit.

regeya ,

I was looking at Twitter earlier, and my feed was full of antivaxxers, election deniers, some anti-abortion activist that claims that Planned Parenthood is involved in sex trafficking, and even 9/11 deniers.

Twitter is a dead man walking

99% of RAM owners will never use this except to show it off to other truck owners who don’t have it. And neither group will ever actually use the truck, but they’ll lift it and put swampers on them lmao
