When it comes to the average person it's more important to be willing to jump to another platform if an alternative comes up than waiting for a perfect one that will likely never appear. Repeating the cycle of joining and leaving I think is better than just staying when it comes to the average person and mainstream platforms.

Self proclaimed communists that claim to want power for the people but rally for an authoritarian dictator who holds all the power. Not much different from monarchists.

Usually a strong idolatry and religious type fixation of deifying individuals to remain in power.

Existence of mods goes against the concept of freedom of speech. People aren't prevented from directly using Twitter themselves. They'd be on 4chan if they wanted something as close to an unfiltered internet.

We wouldn't be on our respective instances that have blocked off entire instances and communities if we wanted to consume unfiltered internet content.

Even greedy Amazon is providing games that don't require a constant subscription to play even after you cancel Prime.

I laughed when he did it twice as if just to emphasize the first one wasn't a mistake.

Twitter probably benefits from people being redirected to their site from repostings with how it has become the go to source for news like sports, so it might. Won't hurt Elon financially but less people being exposed to the content there that Elon wants to push that don't actively use Twitter is a good thing even if it is only a few.

Even small moves is a good thing with how over the years sports and game submissions have become increasingly more Twitter submissions.

Yeah, I'd do the same if I needed a card with the price being good, uncertain supply, and potential tarrifs. Been multiple generations since a GPU has had a launch where stuff is available, didn't have scalpers, and then price hikes.

No more evga around either to be able to reserve a spot online to buy at retail price without having to fight bots and camp out at stores.

Most effective would probably be spread of memes of Musk and Nazism being spread making the site so strongly associated with Nazi imagery that companies become afraid of their brand being associated with Nazi support. Brands being tarnished due to strong association is the only type of stuff companies tend to respond to.

Excellent. It's nice to see active moves to reduce direct visits to Twitter that are often the result of submissions providing links there.

Maybe browser with ublock origin? Worked for Amazon video when I last tried it.
