Just don't criticize fascists and religious nut jobs. That's OBSCENE! /s

Hey now, you're allowed to call any blue-haired middle aged liberal democrat you want a fascist. And by all means, insist anyone who believes in climate change is a religious nut job. Elon won't stop you.

Who is even still using that shitty, shitty platform?

GoosLife ,

Well, incidentally, porn bots. And he doesn't want to lose them, too!

HawlSera ,

So since Deviantart, Imgur, and Tumblr died by banning porn, he's hoping X will come back to life!?!?

ZILtoid1991 ,

No thanks, the fediverse is better at it, with way less nazis and tankies, those that are here are in their own containment zones.

kava ,

Twitter is way better for certain topics. I haven't been able to find the quantity or quality of OSINT stuff almost anywhere else at the level that Twitter has it.

If you want to know what's happening on the ground day to day in Ukraine or Middle East, there's no better place (edit: I lied. Telegram is pretty good, I forgot when I was writing this)

Like there are people who geolocate pictures to determine GPS coordinates and then get satellite scans to determine the effects of missile strikes or what have you

Foe example remember the Iran missile/drone salvo? There was an Israeli response to it? Claimed they blew up some Iranian radar for an air defense system with a missile?

Satellite images showed that was a lie. The damage on the ground implied only a small explosion that looks like other drone explosions. I only knew about it because I was on Twitter following specific people.

There's a lot of shit you have to tread through, lots of bots and spam and crazies and propaganda accounts and what have you

But if you look around there's a lot of gems

StaySquared ,

X is.. dead? That's news to me.

As of 2023, there are approximately 556 million active monthly users on X. As of April 2024, X receives around 6.1 billion visits per month.Apr 25, 2024

What... reality do you live in?

miridius ,

Glad I got to see this comment before the Lemmy hivemind downvoted you to oblivion for posting data that contradicts their world view!

Zacryon ,

Wasn't the user count declining?

Zacryon ,

I think it's more a twitterix is dying thing, as user count was declining last time I checked.

Lumisal ,

How many bots.

ChanchoManco ,

Probably very hard to know given that Musk had to buy the company to find out.

Lumisal ,

Well now he owns it so should be easy for him to publish that.

But then those who carry musky water for him probably wouldn't be able to do so.

StaySquared ,

I could be wrong, but I thought Elon had a campaign to eliminate bots from X? Not sure if that ever took place though or if it's in the process of.

Lumisal ,

Cool.

But until you call tell me how many bots, your claim isn't evidence that it's actually as active as you imply it to be - at least by humans.

StaySquared ,

No one knows. Apparently all the bigots on X are the bots.

That's the best that has been done /shrug

Plus, who really gives a fk about X if you're not even using X? I don't know why the hardon for the community size of X.

Deviantart, Imgur, and Tumblr died by banning porn

None of them are dead.

alienanimals ,

Fluff PR piece to get more people talking about Musk's shitty platform.

OppositeOfOxymoron ,

Reeks of desperation to bring back the porn after how literally every other mainstream platform has walked away from it.

Am I missing something here? I thought X/Twitter always allowed NSFW content.

Eyck_of_denesle ,

It had no specific rules for it or against it. It was just a secret rule that you could upload on it. Now it's official ig.

linearchaos ,
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

That scans, last time I looked around on there it was almost exclusively dicks.

Eyck_of_denesle ,

Must be your algorithm. It's almost always filled with OF bots.

linearchaos ,
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

I don't engage with it so I'm only getting whatever the default is :)

My school releases the buses and notifies people on Twitter. If not for that I wouldn't be there at all

Eyck_of_denesle ,

I am there every now and then to check valorant eSports news. Wish more people switched to mastadon.

IzzyScissor ,

Just don't call anyone 'cis'. That's a crime punishable by ~~death ~~ account deletion.

TheGrandNagus , (edited )

Cis is just a Latin prefix that means "on the same side of", and is the opposite of trans, which means "on the other side of".

I.e. your gender identity is the same as what you were assigned at birth, therefore cis.

Another prefix that would fit well, as it means "the same as/equal/alike" would be homo.

Perhaps we should indulge Elon's wishes and instead use the term homogender or homo, for short. I'm sure he'd love that.

JovialMicrobial ,

I like the way you think! I'm cisgender but would totally accept homogender. Plus, homogender homosapien has a nice ring to it.

I honestly think the only way the word cis would be allowed on twitter is if some moron decided to weaponize it and start calling trans folks cisphobic or something. Then act like it's some sort of brilliant "gotcha" moment because these people are not only genuinely stupid but also hellbent on embodying all the worst parts of humanity.

Only then would the butthole licker of trolls known as Elon Musk accept term.

IzzyScissor ,

I'm still sad that we didn't use 'Ultra', which means 'beyond' or 'on the far side of'. Huge missed opportunity to be called Ultragender instead.

nutsack ,

nice

Evotech ,

Just add two more Xs and it's complete

Zip2 ,

Is this old news? There’s been massive dicks on there for ages.

nomadjoanne ,

Thank goodness.

Holzkohlen ,

It's all they have now. Huge dicks and a shit ton of bots.

ssj2marx ,

Dicks in the posts, pussies in the bio.

Elon must be really lazy to avoid paying for porn

Going to need to add two more Xs to the name.

ConstantPain ,

Now it only lacks the blackjack.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices ,

I'm going to start my own Twitter! With blackjack and hookers!

You know what, forget the Twitter!

lando55 ,

Lose the blackjack too

Feathercrown ,

Idk the chances of Twitter Casino are low but never zero

ssj2marx ,

If Twitter introduced blackjack it would be the worst blackjack game ever - automatic shufflers, 1:1 BJ pays, no DAS, no RSA, no surrender, $1 ante per hand, and $50 minimum bet.

kureta ,

Now I just want to make an account t to post AI generated dicks every hour.

RaoulDook ,

Weird dicks only! No sexy huge cocks.
