Twitter HQ installed a giant strobing X on their rooftop. Pointed at nearby residential apartments.
The sign has now been taken down.
Residents were not amused by this stunt, of course, and the city will be fining the company for this.
A German version of this ad made the rounds on the internet for a while first, but now there's an English version too.
I'd never reported a tweet before but that first one really got my goat.
...heh. of course they don't.
(also can you please put this batch of images in a toggle?)
I never realized how much "twitter is censoring our legitimate views!!!" was actually good for conservatives considering it turned out to be twitter leftists essentially curating alt-right types and making them look very, very good.
I also now understand why twitter leftists were so censorious in the first place.
Thankfully conservatives were too dumb (once again) to maintain that picture-perfect equilibrium
I get the sense you think I'm more alt-right than I am.
It's possible that I'm just an edgy centrist thanks to various shifts in the politisphere.
And this is before even getting into intentional bad-faith usage.
You'd swear this isn't the sort of thing one gets into after declaring himself a centrist.
EDIT: Changed my mind, let's not fight.
Sure, but it doesn't mean the mod in a office box somewhere in Philippines is a leftie, it means that a bunch of Gordon Gekko/Wolf of Wall Street cosplayers atop some glass skyscraper in New York or wherever decided cutting deadnaming is the way to biggest short-term profits. Greed is good, man.
Also, I'm kind of reminded of that story about Muhammad Ali and that other boxer who kept calling him "Cassius Clay" and Ali asking him "what's my name" every time he hit him in the ring.
(Note to self; find a good screencap of Alicia Rivera declaring "Point" for maximum effect.)
I have a funny story about that.
I never used TweetDeck as a Twitter user. Never even heard of it.
I got a Mastodon account one day.
First thing I do when I get a new account or device or whatever is to check the settings. I played around with them and found a thing called "Advanced Web Interface". It gave me multiple columns to show different feeds. This seemed like an obvious step up from the default, so I just kept on using it.
Later, Twitter got bought out and started making stupid business decisions and became an unstable pile of crap and such.
People on Mastodon sometimes talked about "TweetDeck" as if it were a thing on Mastodon.
I was confused. I thought it was a Mastodon client that went by that name.
It took me a while but after a while I asked around and one day I realized the "Advanced Web Interface" is basically TweetDeck (from what I understand).
TwitterX.A number of people are citing the problem of having trolls, stalkers, etc. being able to see their posts.
Incidentally, the iOS App Store and Google Play Store have a policy against apps with user-generated content that don't have a feature to block abusive users.
(screenshot on Twitter showing a snippet of the App Store TOS)
Not that I expect that to get in the way, considering that I heard the App Store also has a policy against single-letter usernames but they granted an exception to "X".
LMAO
