@gamingonlinux I keep wondering what the last straw is that's gonna drag everyone over here

Leonie :pb: :verified_queer:

@gamingonlinux if that was a thing in politics i'm gonna scream. musk is proving that he's a fascist every single day.

@gamingonlinux Elon is finding more and more ways to monetise it by putting everything behind multiple paywalls.

Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Oh and their For You algorithm will also only show paid users. Pretty soon, Twitter will be useless if you don’t pay.

@gamingonlinux Yikes, that's a HUGE mistake but Elon is a trainwreck that won't be put back on the rails. At least when this plan hopefully backfires, he'll be faced with a major setback. As well as a large chunk of the Twitter user base just walking away from the platform.

@gamingonlinux lmao he’s really trying to drive his platform into the ground isn’t he

What’s next, only blue subscriber’s tweets can be seen anywhere?

Enderspearl184

obviously a joke but it would still be funny if I turn out to be right somehow

ersatzmaus

@gamingonlinux So he's proposing a system where there are two or more separate classes of people but only one of them gets to vote?

Brodie Robertson

@ersatzmaus @gamingonlinux You might call it a locked gate stopping you from entering the public square

Deuchnord

@gamingonlinux the rare times I check Twitter, my "For You" tab never shows any bot Twitter... (or maybe Elon considers protesters against French government as bots?)

viktor

@gamingonlinux Damn, the ever burning dumpster fire won't stop anytime soon?

Deurman@fosstodon $ :idle:

@gamingonlinux
Ah yes, I think I can see why its worth 'just' $25 million now... 😂😜

Nick @ The Linux Experiment

@gamingonlinux Ah yes, the absolutely imaginary AI Bot attack that helps justify anything 😂

Maksym Hazevych

@gamingonlinux ahaha I KNEW IT. Next on the list — only verified accounts will be visible in search

Settantahertz

@gamingonlinux So, it's going from "basically useless" to "completely and utterly useless"?

Quills

@gamingonlinux
Birdapp's gonna become a subscription service

DELETED

@gamingonlinux wow that’s so lame. Relieved my account got suspended.

Felipe Woods

@gamingonlinux This basically crosses the line for me. If people aren't discovering new users who might not have a checkmark next to their name, you might as well not create a Twitter account at all.

neutrino78x

@gamingonlinux I'm still maintaining my account until the bitter end lol.

I'm actually in twitter jail right now, I was saying to a trumper I wouldn't want to move to a red state and deal with racist female dogs like himself lol so now I can't post for a week lol

Oblomov

@gamingonlinux and you can bet they'll remove the chronological timeline then.

Bigdog

@gamingonlinux I already don't use Twitter anymore no API no Twitter for me.

deKay

@gamingonlinux Some would say it already is useless, whether you pay or not.

Partially Stochastic

@gamingonlinux dollars to donuts that Elon's plan is moving all of twitter itself behind a paywall.

Paul Wilde
@gamingonlinux Sorry, you need to be verified to log in to twitter
Aitor Cereceto

@gamingonlinux It's super stupid. Melon Sus is breaking the entire platform

Blue, plain and tall.

@gamingonlinux and yet there will still be people refusing to move over because “it’s twitter! There’s nothing like it!” 🙄🙄
