Are these hyperbole numbers, because there is no way anyone here should be a virgin if he's got 111 kids...idc how much money he has.

It's just him in a room looking into a mirror.

And then later, a turkey baster wrapped in hundred dollar bills.

nothing happening at work right now, browsing Twitter and saw an actual like out and proud Nazi in someone's replies like full on with swastikas in their handle

so of course I spent the last half hour systematically reporting everything that account has ever posted, we'll see if something sticks

I wish I screencapped when the Nazi account praised Elon for letting people "call retards retarded again" but I couldn't find it when I went back for it. Would have been a great side-by-side with the inevitable abuse report rejection.

What is going on here? I have no idea what I'm reading. P.S. I don't do Twitter/X.

I think it's because tweets are now being used for AI training slop so Twitter has a new financial value for them. This appears to be a way to curb bots but it also feels like a way to turn off power users because ???

Ok, that's the why, but I can't even figure out WHAT is being described in that pic.

Twitter is bleeding users.

50k new Bluesky signups today and still going

I just saw that on my feed that Bluesky crashed because of all the new users fleeing wankerland. :D 

Honestly, good. Not good that it crashed, good that people are just saying they are done with Melon Husk's bullshit and are actively showing it by leaving. 

Even if it means starting over, for those with solid real followers, getting things back on track shouldn't be that hard once people know how to re-friend/re-follow/re-whatever on the new site.

Yeah it's definitely doable

Nazi symbolism isn't promoting terrorism or violent extremism, huh.

No no see free speech is only allowed if Elon agrees with it

It's so weird when you catch someone on Twitter where they're saying this weird phrase over and over again. 

It's like you're getting this peek into their minds that you feel like they're not even aware of. Just this loop that exists inside them and you're looking at it.

Welp... I saw one today. And I gotta say, the pictures don't do it justice. Cyber trucks look so much dumber up close.

There is exactly one person in the area that has one - I've seen it a couple of times.

The urge to slap a 'Warning : Driver Applying Make-Up' bumpersticker on it grows with every sighting...

So glad I only leave the house when I need or want to these days.

Way cooler than when I'd leave to avoid whatever bullshit people were arguing about.

Don't leave the house, don't havr to see the stupidest car a billionaire could come up with.

 on other platforms, computer tech (like not entry level...but their bosses bosses) are trying to get it out there that a mulititude of ballot machines were connected to skylink, via internet.

i did polling last election.

we are not connected to the internet. it's memory cards. no internet.

i made a bluesky account the other night, wasn't sure I wanted to remain connected to mainstream social media any more than necessary but I went and did it.

apparently I wasn't the only one because it's exploding with a left-wing exodus from tweeter, complete with all those big ticket resistlib accounts. maybe that'll be the drive to get mainstream shit to jump over. like i can't professionally delete twitter because the reporters and politicians still use it, otherwise it'd be deleted already.

My e-mails are full of requests for all the people who received their particular messages during the election cycle to immediately dump the twit and head to bluesky ASAP. 

I think its the equivalent of defunding Melon Husk in the way he hates the most - by no longer paying him anything including attention on that site.

I just hope it isn’t Twitter for finger wagers and people who spend 90% of their times digging up bad takes people made when they were young and ignorant. The two extremes (with the online right’s constant bad faith and general shiftiness) turned me off Shitter pretty fast. Bluesky so far has been pretty pleasant without feeling like any take you make, no matter how mild, will end up with a volley of turds being thrown at you.

ok so i have a bluesky question @matrixman124

if i create a themed "starter pack" of accounts to follow, can I update it after the fact and if so would people who use it always have access to the most up-to-date version?

Yeah you can keep adding to it

It does require 7 users to start it.

It also has a maximum amount of users but I can't recall what that limit is

I know it's a minimum of 7 and maximum of 150. So how does it practically work, I create it and then people use it to add everyone? Is that manual or automatic? If I update the starter pack, do those who used it already have to manually go back to the pack and add new additions, or is automatic?

So it's always manual and you just select any Bluesky person you want to add.

You don't have to follow or be followed by them
