One thing, by doing this all the talk is about Twitter rather than Threads whilst they are trying to launch it to the moon.

I've tested it for you. xx.com is for sale. xxx.com has what you might expect on it.Pross said:"Honestly, I was trying to get on x.com but the 'x' key got stuck"

I’m convinced he only does this stuff to keep people talking about him and Twitter (but mainly him).1

Genius.
Telling someone with 3.4m followers to delete his account isn't going to drive up traffic for advertisers.
This doesn't really seem like Musk wants to encourage free speech like wot he sed he wanted to.

Most people who are actually interested in free speech don’t tend to complain some voices are not heard.0

Seems consistent with encouraging free speech to me. He is telling someone that if they don't like free speech, then don't use Twitter. I don't think that is contradictory. If he deleted them for his plan, then you would have a point.briantrumpet said:Genius.

His problem is a lack of ads not a lack of content to show ads againstbriantrumpet said:Genius.

The best way to encourage free speech is not to allow those who constantly shout abuse to pay to drown out everyone else.TheBigBean said:

I suspect the lack of ads is down to more than one reason, including people who attract a lot of traffic giving up on the platform. Xitter will lose a lot more by driving away the big hitters, wherever they are on the political spectrum.0 -
It's quite an achievement to make it so much worse so quickly, and to then decide to relentlessly keep on coming up with ways to stop people avoiding the worst of it.
I must have at least 20,000 accounts blocked now because it's the only way to stop all the replies being filled with the most tedious people in the world prioritised over everyone else.0 -
It really is not a supply problem which will be why he is relaxed about losing traffic.briantrumpet said:surrey_commuter said:

His lack of ad $$$ is down to issues around brand safety0 -

It's only fair as LinkedIn appears to have become a hybrid of Twitter and Facebook over the years. It really isn't a business thing anymore, just a bunch of people with ridiculous egos who think they are influencers and others who try to make a tenuous link between their personal life and business (oh, and all those people posting things that almost certainly didn't happen in some story with a moral). I hate it.kingstongraham said:

Just got access to BlueSky, and it feels like an oasis of normality. Just need a couple more key accounts to start posting there and I can move away from the binfire of verified users trying to make $9 a month from engagement.0

I'd say it's more than a few. Despite being selective inany connections I make I have to wade through loads of shite to find anything remotely interesting. Add in that you need paid membership for many features you used to get and those that pay can seemingly bypass settings limiting who can contact you etc.surrey_commuter said:

I'd never go on it if I wasn't looking for a new job. Why would I?Pross said:

Sure it is. It's mainly for sales people and buyers. If you're not involved in either side of that, you're gonna get useless stuff.surrey_commuter said:

And obviously for recruitment
but beyond that, it's a good platform to show your wares. 0 -
It's still just a CV repository for 95% of people on there, surely.0

It allows people to own their connections more easily. Previously if someone left a job and took a list of contacts with them then it would be theft.kingstongraham said:It's still just a CV repository for 95% of people on there, surely.
