Twitter is not a utility. We really need to stop treating techbro services like utilities. If we feel they actually are utilities, the government can step in and make that claim and the appropriate changes.

You would be shocked to know how many people use TikTok as a search engine

dharmacurious ,

I’m not on tiktok, but I’ll admit to using YouTube as a search engine a lot. Also googling something and immediately hitting the video tab before reading any of the results.

I liken using groogle for finding factual information to using the yellowpages for doing the same. YT isn’t much better but it suffers many of the conflicts of interest traditional media outlets also had, depending on the corporation. In this case the almighty algorithm is the conflict of interest, though there are clever content creators out there making some good stuff, they’ll always be beholden to the owners of the platform and the true customers - the advertisers. As an advertising platform which can direct punters to actual long form content directly supported by watchers via patreon or similar, I understand why it is used : the sheer numbers using it.

That’s how I use Bing. 😻

Sigh. Not surprised… given that Musk is a hypocrite on free speech completely. It’s getting wild. I use this place now because after years of no issues… suddenly I’m shadow banned on Reddit. Instead of getting mad I just left. Screw those who would stifle others but pretend to believe the opposite.

What I’m saying is that on twitter they could promote the mastodon account

Data source: WIkipedia??? Wikipedia is not a source ffs

We’re not doing a research paper. We’re commenting on a internet post. Calm down.

RageAgainstTheRich ,

But wikipedia has sources on the bottom of an article so you can verify things?

RageAgainstTheRich ,

It pisses me off how twitter went to fuck. People cried that we need something not owned by some rich cunt. We told everyone to join mastodon so that wouldn’t happen again. What did people do? Wait for another rich cunt (mark suckerberg) to start a clone and the original creator of twitter to make another one and join that…

People are dumb as shit… I’m sick of it.

taiyang ,

Makes me curious if you get more attention on mastodon though. Like if I pitched something on Lemmy there’s a good chance I get the same number of eye balls compared to Reddit, not counting ads. (Although if Kamala posted about Linux and/or Star Trek that’s front page, no ad money needed! Lol)

hotpot8toe ,

wtf is this journalism??? one guy on twitter said that so now its confirmed. Just tried it and works fine. Do people just upvote this because they hate Elon Musk and want this to be true?

TheBigBrother ,

I hope she isn’t a Zionist also…

WolfLink ,

She’s not

Fuck Twitter for doing this shit. Musk should just jump in a hole with all his money as we bury him with it, Sunset Riders style.

mox ,

Yet another reason to ditch that platform.

Sibbo ,

Free speech and so on.
