Are they going to integrate mastodon instead?

EunieIsTheBus ,

You're joking right?

Upstream7564 ,

Remember, it's Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. Not angels.

JasonDJ ,

They'll make their own fediverse. With blackjack. And hookers.

Nintendo: 🙋‍♂️

Fine, Nintendo, you don't have to have the hookers.

Nintendo: 🙋‍♂️

No, you cannot dress Pikachu up as a prostitute.

Miyamoto: 🙋‍♂️

You can do whatever you want.

AeonFelis ,

No. They'll integrate with Threads.

Etterra ,

It took them this long? Impressive. Idiotic, but still impressive.

DacoTaco ,
@DacoTaco@lemmy.world avatar

They probably just waited for the contracts to end hehe :')

ZILtoid1991 ,

They should add Mastodon integration instead.

cRazi_man ,
@cRazi_man@lemm.ee avatar

No one will make money from that, so they're not going to do it.

boatsnhos931 ,

What is x? Is bobs n vagenes?

ZILtoid1991 ,

Ironically yes.

A year back this was a joke. But now it's true.

boonhet ,

All three? Surely you must be forgetting OUYA, KFC and Soulja Boy!

@AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world avatar

Elon Musk comes out onto a stage and announces that Tesla is entering the game console market when?

boonhet ,

I believe you can already play games on the Tesla's screen.

I do hope they're disabled when driving...

ChuckEffingNorris ,

Just rented a Tesla on holiday. None of it works while driving.

Have to say though I do like the car!

ErwinLottemann ,

some do work, but not fullscreen restricted to the passenger side of the screen

sarchar ,

At what point were we all on Microsoft/Nintendo/Sega's side wtf?

Everyone sucks here.

sunzu ,

Seems like there are bootlickers among as...

c0ber ,

all three? what about soulja boy? as long as he's still supporting it they'll be fine

How it has not caught on to call it Xitter (Shitter)... I don't know

model_tar_gz ,

Because starting with ‘X’ does not guarantee the ‘sh’ sound. See ‘xylophone’, ‘Xavier’, ‘Xenon’.

Xitter looks like ‘exiter’ to me.

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Zitter to me, which is kinda gross

nexguy ,
@nexguy@lemmy.world avatar

Shylophone, shaver, shenon...checksh out.

model_tar_gz ,

Xean Connery hates this simple trick.

JasonDJ ,

Shylophone

What a great way to describe me at a party.

time_fo_that ,

Zitter

I just call it "The website formerly know as Twitter".

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Looks like we just aXed Twitter integration (get it? Because X)

ADTJ ,

I don't get it, can you Xplain?

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but I will assume you aren't.

You see, X is the terrible new name for Twitter that we all hate, and so these vidya game companies are removing Twitter integration from their consoles. They're axing the integration (meaning they're killing it with an axe). Axe sounds like X.

MrRazamataz ,
@MrRazamataz@lemmy.razbot.xyz avatar

I would've Xpected you to get their joke!

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah honestly I'm kinda bad at this.

Iloveyurianime ,

Can we get a shout out for elon for killing twitter

jol ,

It's actually a huge feat to kill such a huge company that had so much momentum. Kudos to him. At this point he could make a business out of ruining things. Pay him to endorse a company if you want to tarnish its reputation.

RIPandTERROR ,
@RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works avatar

Every once and a while I wonder if that might have happened

jol ,

Not the first time I heard that. Met a hardcore Elonstan who defended he's a genius, and that he was trying to take twitter down to profit off of insurance money.

RIPandTERROR ,
@RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yikes. Yeah no. Best id guess is maybe foreign money hoping to tank a liberal platform... But I'm not married to that conspiracy. It assumes he's smarter than he seems.

kent_eh ,

foreign money hoping to tank a liberal platform.

Since when was twitter a "liberal platform"?

The rightwingnuts have been running rampant over there for as long as I can remember.

jol ,

Twitter was very diverse. You could see just what you wanted to see. My twitter was very liberal and tech oriented. But now everyone left.

kent_eh ,

You could see just what you wanted to see.

That's not my experience. I never wanted to see rightwing conspiracy crap, but I wasn't able to avoid it crowding my feed until I avoided Twitter entirely.

Schadrach ,

Eh, some of them. You weren't generally banned for "merely" being right wing. But pre-Elon you generally had to toe the line a lot more to avoid being suspended or banned if you were overtly right wing than if you were liberal or left and now it's the other way around.

Just like how the blue check started as an "I am a public figure and this account is definitely who I appear to be" mark and that's it, then it became a mark of who you knew/could bribe at Twitter to move the process along and could be revoked for saying the wrong things on Twitter (for example everyone's least favorite gay right wing provocateur Milo Yianwhatever had his blue check stripped for saying something too offensive well before he was banned), then post-Elon it became just a subscription service.

There was also a tendency to quietly artificially reduce visibility for a lot of right wing voices or hashtags. For example, female MRA and member of Honey Badger Radio Hannah Wallen literally got a bunch of her fans to do some pretty elaborate testing of her account at one point after her engagement numbers suddenly and mysteriously dropped and it turned out many of her posts were invisible except to people that followed her that she also followed, even to people specifically looking at her feed.

Certain right wing hashtags would have numbers that should definitely have them trending but mysteriously weren't (or would be for just a few minutes and then suddenly vanish despite gaining popularity in the meantime), certain liberal/left hashtags would be trending despite seemingly not having the numbers for it to be organic, that sort of thing. Because Twitter moderation was curating what was and was not "trending", literally blacklisting certain topics and bumping up others because of the visibility that being trending would afford.

It was all really, overtly obvious if you watched for it, like how certain accounts would be shadowbanned on Reddit for reasons that were both obvious and not spam-related despite shadowbanning supposedly only being employed as an anti-spam tool, or how certain subs would be allowed to openly ignore certain sitewide rules.

@Irelephant@lemm.ee avatar

maybe to turn it into a not liberal platform, judging from the few times i used it post elon

Emmie ,

Elonstan in 2024? Who where?

jol ,

They exist, believe me...

Irelephant ,
@Irelephant@lemm.ee avatar

twitter would be bankrupt if they didn't exist

Cosmicomical ,

Instead of... you know... actually profiting from one of the biggest companies in the world? After you paid it twice its market value?

limelight79 ,

Insurance money? He thinks that there's insurance for businesses being run into the ground?

NutWrench ,
@NutWrench@lemmy.world avatar

I wish I had 44 billion dollars to burn.

I could live comfortably for the rest of my life on 1/10,000th of what Elmo wasted.

Snapz ,

Fucking good, everyone that still supports that wannabe fascist tool wears it as a badge of stupidity, at best.

vga ,

Was a horrible idea before Musk also.

citrusface ,

It wasn't tho. It was a really great idea. It just became shit.

match ,
@match@pawb.social avatar

It was honestly pretty good being able to post clips and screenshots directly from a game

Wispy2891 ,

Surprised that they didn’t remove it earlier

At $42k per month I would have removed/disabled it immediately

Why would I need to pay that kind of money to let my users to post on your social where you’re monetizing it with ads and using the content to increase user engagement? Should be the opposite! The social network paying the game console maker in order to get preferential treatment and prominent share buttons

Crashumbc ,

Because originally it was extremely cheap advertisement for your console and games?

moon ,

It's not that simple. That's not fair to their innocent user base who used that as their primary login. That's why this is actually a big deal, it's technically difficult since it's so integrated, and it screws over some of their users. So giving them a fair chance to migrate off is the right thing to do.

Wispy2891 ,

Twitter as a login doesn’t need api access and it’s still free

They need to pay the absurd fees when they post screenshots on behalf of users. So, since it’s not a very important feature, it doesn’t make sense to pay at least half a million dollars per year for that
