Exodus, that’s what.
People keep saying that and yet…the platform still lives. Just like Reddit.
A mandatory subscription is a much harsher barrier to the median user though.
We have a direct reference point for this: when Reddit began to charge for access to its API. 3rd party clients for Reddit like Apollo, RIF, Infinity, etc could have carried on by charging their users a low monthly fee in turn. The Apollo developer calculates 2.50 $/month as the additional cost to pass on. That is quite low for the potential utility you’re getting if you compare it to even a cup of coffee yet still expensive enough for 3rd party apps to shut down.
Point is: many users may ultimately not care enough about the issues around censorship, botting, propaganda, hate speech or the persona of the CEO himself but once their wallets are affected its a different story.
“Live” is a strong word. It lives like carrion swarming with maggots “lives”.
Amen to that!
I am not religous but I approve of this message!
The Flying Spaghetti Monster also approves of this message, and will relay the message to all other deities.
The besedestest
Do it. Not doing it is square bro.
Not charging is WOKE
Literally communism
Is
TwitterX a public service?? It should be at least $25 a month. Just viewing atwatX should cost at least 50 cents.Also, do we want to consider Musk a modern visionary if he hasn’t even bothered to go see the historic Titanic wreckage in person?
He could use the pedo sub.
Does that thing have autopilot?
Fuck yeah.
Straight down.
Whatever happened to the sub he was going to design before “pedo guy” stole his thunder? He could take that one down to the titanic. If anyone says it’s not rated or tested enough, just yell at them and libel them online.
I believe they are called “xhits” now.
He told Benjamin Netanyahu?.. He just decided to tell the prime minister of Israel? Of all people?
Not like a press announcement, a notification to people using the site? Just to some politician he was talking to while on some rich wankers holiday?
Twitter doesn’t have a press office anymore. So he can’t do that.
💩
Sir Patrick Stewart?
Yup, because Musk has no ability to plan ahead. He thinks his every idea is perfect and that he should instantly implement whatever nonsense he just came up with.
I know you think this is unusual but you’ve literally just described every founder or C level I have ever dealt with throughout over 20 years in tech. I mean you’d think that two decades would be enough to at least observe a single outlier but nope.
This is so true, we always joke about my partners CEO acting just like Musk.
I’m surprised you’re surprised
Seems he is interested in the spyware.
Please god do it. Force the terminally online Xitter users to quit
“[We’re] moving to a small monthly payment for use of the X system,” he just told Benjamin Netanyahu, saying it’s [the] only way to stamp out
botsactual human users .FTFY
It’ll remove more humans than bots if Classic WoW has taught me anything.
We’re finally reaching the true death throes of Twitter! I’m so happy.
I sincerely hope his management team applies their best judgment and deliver exactly what their boss requested of them. It’s the right thing to do according to their employment contracts.
I’ve been waiting 15 years for this.
So, he’s kinda pulling a Unity.
I shit you not, the board member whose idea was Unity pay per install is Musk’s friend, they were both executives at PayPal.
Lol. These motherfuckers at the top must be all acquinted.
“It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.”
A big club of well regarded fellows failing upwards
And /u/spez is tight with that crowd too, so you can guess where the API monetization idea came from
Lol he wishes. He’s a puppy steaming up the window staring into that crowd.
He was also the CEO of EA when it was voted Worst Company in the World. Off the top of my head, I believe it was the second time they won the Golden Poo award, during the height of their SimCity fiasco.
It’s the PayPal Mafia
FFS he actually calls it “the X system.” Like it’s not still just Twitter.
I’m gonna keep deadnaming his company for as long as he keeps deadnaming his daughter.
Deadnaming people = broke
Deadnaming corpos = woke
Well put. I just say I don’t cater to the whims of billionaires, but that’s an even better argument.
he has children? only kid I know is that one kid that was named A X 010 or smth
He has donated sperm to the production of a truly terrifying number of children.
I can’t say he has “fathered” any because that motherfucker isn’t a father by any reasonable definition. He’s a greebly little sperm donor.
He has 11 children and believes it’s his duty to repopulate the planet and save the human race. Not joking.
I want to charge Elon Musk for helping russian terrorists in their genocide of Ukrainian children.

Make it so, please make it so.
Please let it die. It will be nice to force media outlets to actually put effort into stories again, instead of just reporting on what is being tweeted by the usual gaggle of assholes.
They’ll just report on what is said on other social sites, if it dies completely
There’s already a concerning number of articles that just pull sources from Reddit…which then get posted onto Reddit for more discussion.
Hopefully Lemmy doesn’t end up like that.
I’m glad he decided to finally kill it for good.
it’s about damn time.
There will be singing, and dancing, in Jerusalem when this happens! Can’t wait for Twitter to disappear!
I’m gonna make it through this year if it kills me.
I hadn’t thought of the Mountain Goats in years. Thank you, I get to rediscover them.
very unexpected place to find a TMG reference but I’m not complaining
DON’T YOURS MEAN ✗, IT CAN DO EVERYTHING AND DRIVE YOUR CAR TO YOUR PERFECT SUBURBTOPIA
^(no, you’re screaming, I’m just being sarcastic)
There will be singing, and dancing, in Jerusalem when this happens! Can’t wait for Twitter to disappear!
Is Jerusalem some kind of dogwhistle about “greedy Jews”??? Who even brought up Jerusalem?
Looks like the alt-right infiltrated lemmyworld too
It’s a Mountain Goats reference, bozo. But I’d expect nothing more intelligent to come from someone who calls themselves “King Capitalist”
Also Netanyahu is the pm/President of Israel.
I’m not acquainted with C-tier millenial pop trash.
Even then, I think you made a subconscious relation between charging money - Jews - Jerusalem, which caused you to connect with the symbol of that song and make the reference. Thankfully, you’re still crypto at worst.

C-tier
garbage instrumentals, dead nasally voice, banal lyrics, painfully repetitive rhythm and progression, complete lack of development.
pop
Okay, let’s say hipstercore or “indie folk” or whatever you people without taste call it. In my lexicon, pop means nasty slop.
Dude you hit the bottom. GTFO already
It’s a fucking song reference. Also, it’s a particularly popular song, especially in lieu of the recent pandemic and such. It’s been on the late show with Colbert.
I had a momentary panic because it’s the end of the month and I’m low on money… but then I remembered I deleted my Twitter account and life has just been absolutely peachy since then.
