hoodatninja , to technology in General Megathread for Elon Musk Nonsense and Twitter News
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

So despite the fact that a ton of current tech news revolves around Elon musk and his companies, the solution is to bury any and all discussion about him in a megathread we all know people will never read or comment on?

Y’all have functionally banned all news related to Elon musk, Twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX.

My guess is some of them simply don’t like people saying bad things about musk and just want to stifle discussion.

I don’t think I really need to tell y’all that megathreads are, as a general rule, worthless. The only way they are even moderately useful is if they are recurring, such as a weekly megathread for beginner questions on a technical/hobbyist sub. A static, one time megathread means that no one will ever talk about it at all. That is not the right call.

Anybody who has been a mod for more than a week knows that a megathread only stifles discussion unless it’s some major event happening in real time, such as Jan 6th. I get you don’t want musk spam but you’re over correcting.

It can’t run everything obviously but the fact that my nearly 10 year old iPad can handle video streaming still and these schools have bricked laptops after 3 years is ridiculous.

What year is the mini from? I run a Plex server off a 2010 Mac mini.

Apple devices are serviceable for far longer after the OS stops updating than windows/android devices in my experience. But regardless, Apple doesn’t discontinue support as early as 3 or 4 years. Even you have to admit that is ridiculous of google.

I have an 8 year old iPad that can still use Amazon video and can still run Netflix, and google drops support for these computers as early as 3 years. I’m not an Apple fanboy but that is absolutely ridiculous.

hoodatninja , (edited ) to technology in Elon Musk rebrands Twitter as X
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

Twitter has lost over 10% of its users and engagement/monthly active users is down, Musk even admits they’ve lost users. Traffic is also going down with the API change/requirement to be on Twitter proper, as well as limiting the number of tweets one can see.

Considering how much a Twitter is bots, that means the number of actual people who left is actually much higher. So yeah, something did change lol just because you haven’t noticed it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

Edit: I’m not sure why you are talking about left and right users tbh. Seems like you’re kind of shoehorning a “both sides“ comment since no one is talking politics here.

Everyone should go over to Firefox as well as advocate against this.

Because it’s satirizing boomer humor/“kids these days”-style posts. That’s the joke!

@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

I get the sentiment but I’ve also seen decent media coverage of it and I’m sure many folks googled what was happening as a result, especially since twitch was more formally involved this time. I know the German word for “son of a whore” surged in google searches so that’s something lol

Does it drive traffic? Yeah. Does it make Huffman seethe? He’s childish and thin skinned so probably lol
