@toiletpaper It's surely fun to watch, but i think it's mostly a marketing ploy by Elon to drive traffic and engagement to Twitter. Without the bots it's a ghost town over there!

@xabean Those services are for profit, when money get involved, greed outweigh life saving goals. Does any criticism or questioning the practice of those services has ill-intent?

@nassiraelmoaddem Merci à vous pour le sommaire des news, c'est toujours intéressant et informative 👍

@coldacid @lain @kaia @mangeurdenuage come on man, this is brutal!

@DrJackBrown to say what?

> It's not just a bad joke it's dangerous. We have too many crazy people that act out on that crazy.

I see a lot of people in the #fediverse referring to Elon as fascist/NAZI not only him, but even to people with mild centrist view points, don't you think that using those serious terms loosely is dangerous and incite crazies to act on that crazy?

There is a clear distinction between making stupid jokes and assigning dangerous labels (fascists/NAZI) to people.

> China's zero lock down is on the extreme, conversely think of the number of people that would have died if something wasn't done. The only tool we have is distance from one another. That's it.

Africa had the lowest* deaths rate in the world with a light touch lockdown policy and social distancing, the only tools they had was over the counter Z-Pak, Ivermectin and HQC.

> I would rather Musk be focusing on solar and batteries than bad jokes at 3 am. He's to the point that he needs help. Clearly his sleeping habits are not normal and again, being in a leadership position he's not making that other site welcoming to advertisers. He can't $8/$11 his way out of his interest payments.

Elon is billionaire he is going to be fine no matter what happens to Twitter. I don't care that much about what he says and does, that's out of my control, but I find the whole Twitter dumpster fire very entertaining for sure, especially with the recent #TwitterFiles release.

>as I can personally vouch for -this is an extremely contagious virus.

Agree, #Covid sucks I got it as well I wasn't vaccinated back then, I got knocked out petty bad for two weeks, but If I got to choose between Covid side effects and Vaccine side effects, I would go with #COVID there are over the counter treatments that work very well. While #mARN vaccine side effects are still misreported and treatments are not widely available.

>I personally wish that remote learning had turned out better.

Me too and I still think in the future a combination of remote and in class learning would be a great solution for education in general.

>Malone’s use of the term mass formation psychosis

It's non rational believes and behavior, people acting on pure group think ideology, us vs them. I.E mask vs antimask, vaxmax vs antivax, prolockdown vs antilockdown ..etc. Whether it's the mainstream media, or social media algorithms feeding us content we like to consume or people choosing to live in echo chambers(banning divergent opinions), that's what drive the mass formation psychosis then we start acting on bias and flawed information and perspective.

There should be a nuance and balanced approach to every topic and situation.

>Elon is just piling on to get traffic.

True, I think it's part gaslighting "the left", shit posting and other part bating bots and troll farms to him to test and implement his counter spam/bot mesures.

For that to work he has to post the most outlandish hot takes to drive engagement and monitor bots/spam behavior to be able to counter them.

>Think it that doesn’t mean you have to post it.

I would rather know what people in power think then not.
Whether I like their thoughts or not.
I see a lot people in the #fediverse getting offended by Fauci pronoun tweet while it is obviously a bad joke.
@malwaretech

@7 Is this a real tweet? I don't trust twitter screenshot anymore and who the F*** takes brides in cash anymore?

@WeissenSocken88 @7 As someone who likes hiking this is extremely funny 😂

@aven @7 Yeah, that's called muddying the water or even prebunking a story in the Hunter Biden's laptop case.

@lauren @denebeim What are your thoughts on Twitter pre Elon?

Most of the moderation/enforcement tools (including DMs filtering) were build at that time.

Do you think that an investigation into what happened back then in term of user data privacy breaches is worth it?

@susanbradley

I agree with most of what said, people in authority should moderate their thoughts to a certain extent, although sometimes that freedom of expression gives us a window to understand their mindset, which is good thing in a democracy were the people have the power to change who is in authority.

About Fauci as the men in change of public health, had the authority
to suppress information/discussion regrading #COVID it's origines, early treatments and alternative remedies. Censoring many renown scientists that were banned/ deplatformed including Peter McCullough, Robert W. Malone, Pierre Kory just to name a few.
His public policy had a negative impact children education with school closure and the economy with endless lockdowns and mandatory vaccination.

#COVID as a public health crises was unfortunately heavily politicize to gain power from both political parties, and they were a lot of conflicts of interests and influence from pharmaceutical industry bringing a solution to end this crisis.

Information are starting to come out regarding of what happened the last three years, people should stay open minded and critical of the information regarding this subject and many more.

Banning divergent opinions and living in echo chambers is the worst thing for having a nuanced and balanced perspective on matters that impact us our families and society in general.

Also, I want to mention that
@malwaretech banned me for no reason.
I am not here to offend, troll or harass nobody, my entent was to have a honest and open discussion.
