    Same on Threads.

    Everything went quiet.

    I would love to see these accounts, when they were opened, when they ceased posting, what they posted, and what the IP addresses were.

    It’s a little bit naive and self destructive that human beings have created tools as powerful as mainstream social media with absolutely no checks or balances, absolutely no accountability, absolutely no transparency, and entirely at the whims of billionaire owners and nation states they’re in bed with.

    Regulating and banning social media that is being used to blatantly conduct massive psyops should be uncontroversial.

      I’m sick of private ownership and private decision making about every fucking single aspect of human life from who gets housed to who gets fed to our very culture.

      Americans “hate” dictatorships but allow the economy to be run by a bunch of Lords.

      Socialism is the democratization of the economy. Socialism puts the human and the worker and the people most impacted by these economic decisions at the helm.

      But no, democracy in the economy wouldn’t be free. We need to slave away for fascist dictators.

      But muh TikTok!!!

      And also: it’s racist to ban social media platforms…or whatever…I don’t know. Whatever garbage is usually spewed anytime a platform that leans heavily left is about to get shut down.

    Like, where is his data? Is there a list of all bot accounts on Twitter, with a column showing recent activity? Or is this guy doing the same thing as the other side - talking out of his ass?

      Have you been on twitter recently? [Note that I recommend users do not use twitter]

      It’s pretty obvious when for the past two weeks you had every single tweet of yours get spammed replies like “#TRUMP2024 #MAGA” with clearly AI generated profile pictures and fake names. All these accounts have like 20 followers and are following 5k+ accounts. And a bunch of them instantly reply to your posts like 5 seconds after posting. All these accounts have ceased activity overnight.

    My pet theory is that Musk acquired Twitter to destroy one of the most effective platforms for anyone on the left to organize.

    The biggest problem is the damage is done.

    The party holds the supreme court. House. Senate. Executive. Under the unitary executive theory, the rest of the federal government, while being completely inept, will be party members.

    All we can do now, is collectively survive. It’s a death cult. Steps we take to prevent the detainment, torture and death of our neighbors, friends, and family are the biggest fuck you to these people.

    I don’t know how we’ll do it. But we don’t do it by joining or tolerating them. We don’t have to make it easy for them.
