Looks like Threads is inhospitable to journalists posting real time information about major international news stories.

@w7voa it's Disgusting and now it is infested with trolls and bots.

One of the most prominent examples on Twitter/X of sexually explicit Taylor Swift AI fake images “attracted more than 45 million views, 24,000 reposts, and hundreds of thousands of likes and bookmarks before the verified user who shared the images had their account suspended for violating platform policy. The post was live on the platform for around 17 hours prior to its removal.” theverge.com/2024/1/25/2405033

@w7voa We are deep below the X event Horizon and rushing thru the crushing pressures to the Muskularity at the bottom

Gonna be fun when Taylor sues. 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿

Business Post: Twitter/X has instructed staff not to suspend users that post explicitly racist, sexist and homophobic content, or who send sexual material to another person, as part of a new policy that has radically stripped back the company’s moderation of abusive material. businesspost.ie/news/exclusive

The Staff working in this cesspool can not be without fault.
Yes, their boss is a madman, but to work for him is a choice.

@w7voa Maybe it's the hair plugs and fillers that he has been using that has further poisoned his mind

@w7voa Symbolic payments are for mainly identification puposes.

@w7voa what a wonderful, fresh idea to run a once thriving social media platform into the ground even faster

The platform formerly known as #Twitter rolls out a new ad format that can't be reported or blocked. mashable.com/article/twitter-x

@w7voa well, sure it can. You just reported it, and I blocked twitter ages ago by deleting my account and making sure it never darkens my screens again!

kierkegaank

@w7voa now it only needs to delete white supremacist accounts to earn xitter money

@w7voa log out and never log back in. Permanent block

This article stretches the truth so much, it's making me defend
Elmo. Shameful.

- The revenue to pay creators isn't from other subscribers, but from ads that are pushed through on their timeline.

- The "catch" is that to be a creator you need to have the $8 bluecheck, but this is not a ponzi game of any kind.

- You really couldn't find anyone that is not "far-right" and received money? I could, and it didn't take a lot of work.

- The program has been announced quite long ago.

@w7voa If Musk wanted to get into a Ponzi scheme that actually has a lucrative exit he should've bought an #NHL team.

I've observed that engagement for my posts on #Mastodon (where I have 40k followers) over the past month is now consistently higher than on #Twitter (115k followers).

@w7voa Great news! Truly appreciate your reporting here.

"By mislabeling the organization, Twitter has put in jeopardy the lives and freedom of hundreds of NPR reporters and editors around world. There are many places that would love to close down independent journalism -- or worse. (China and Russia come quickly to mind.) -- SPJ Int'l Community (1/2)

#NPR will no longer post fresh content to its 52 official #Twitter feeds after being labeled by Elon Musk as “state-affiliated” and then “government-funded media.” npr.org/2023/04/12/1169269161/

@w7voa Good for NPR, hopefully other organizations will follow suit. I would much rather see my (meager) NPR contribution going to support an NPR-owned fediverse instance than to a privately owned social media site / dumpster fire.

@w7voa it’s very much just a very wealthy sociopath’s toy now. #twitter

@w7voa

i'm ashamed i liked the space roadster. does the location website still even exist ?

Oceanwave

@w7voa I remember a story from while ago that dude bought the domain x.com. I assume this is tied into that? Or was I having a chatGPT-style hallucination.

Edit: oh yeah it’s in the story. What I recall was PayPal let x.com lapse but he bought it back at some point. This could still be a hallucination.

#Twitter has reportedly failed to disclose some political ads running on its site since early last month. politico.com/news/2023/04/10/t

@w7voa is there anyone left to check these things?

And yet so many still flock to the site daily...

@w7voa I proposed 6 months back that this is the ultimate goal: grab as much of the billions in national, state and local political ad dollars. the amount of money is staggering. #advertising #politics

@w7voa Self-preservation is the highest motivation of any entity. The truth is an easy trade. Expect worse.

Yep, if you send a press query to #Twitter, you’ll only receive a 💩emoji as a reply.

@w7voa I wonder if #JackDorsey still believes #ElonMusk is “the singular solution” for #Twitter

@w7voa Has anyone tried sending an inquiry about Elon's favorite meal?
