Social Media: the good, the bad, the wierd

[CaptainEurope]

Musk has announced (threatened?) removal of the block feature. This would make twitter basically unusable for anyone who's not a straight white male right-winger.

Or maybe he won't:

Musk’s decision to eliminate the block feature is in direct violation of App Store guidelines & will lead to X’s removal from the App Store, if implemented

I predict Elon isn’t aware of this & will backtrack — saying he was “trolling” or “joking” — and his followers will buy it

Or maybe he won't:

Yeah I read it was against Apple and Google guidelines.

Further proof that "real life Tony Stark" has no idea what he's doing.

The Telephone is one of the first tech tool used as Social Media. So go blame Edison, if you dare.

OMG remember "chat lines"?

[CaptainEurope]

Yeah I read it was against Apple and Google guidelines.

Some people argue that the mute feature will be enough to fulfill those requirements.

On the one hand, the mute feature will mean that bigots will keep wasting their time yelling at minorities.
On the other hand, the replies to any tweet by a minority will be full of disgusting stuff for everybody else reading them until we have muted every bigot.

Also, more than 25% of his followers are accounts created after he bought twitter.

Are people giving Edison credit for inventing the telephone now?

My mistake, sorry about that. I should have checked my memory against facts. Obviously I got confused [brain malfunction].

Elon has blocked Catturd!!

Elon has blocked Catturd!!

And is fighting with James Woods.

The blocking feature basically united all of Twitter against him. I hope Elon does not have dangerous amounts of drugs near him right now.

Elon Musk admits X ‘may fail’ after glitch deletes Twitter photos

Elon Musk, the owner of the app formerly known as Twitter, has said the social media site “may fail”, after a glitch caused pictures posted before December 2014 to be deleted.

In a post on the site, renamed X, Musk said: “The sad truth is that there are no great ‘social networks’ right now.”

He added: “We may fail, as so many have predicted, but we will try our best to make there be at least one.”

He's been actively breaking it since he acquired it.
