The EU says X is the worst platform for disinformation | Just as it removes a way to report election misinformation::undefined
“Remember, Free Speech is when I, and only I, can say whatever the hell I want!” - Elon Musk
How is twitter still standing? Mastodon is the way of the future
I sometimes wonder how much it would take to get people to leave X en masse. Maybe if Elon was posting Nazi propaganda?
Honestly I’m surprised it didn’t become a ghost town like Tumblr did after they banned porn.
I read this as “X is the platform that shares all the information that doesn’t follow our authoritarian agendas”.
Good. That means X is serving its purpose: informing people of all available opinions in a crazy, leftist, authoritarian world that’s indicting speech.
No one owns a monopoly on the truth.
It already was prior to Musk’s takeover.
It’s just always been a cesspool. A complete waste of human energy and time. And it never once turned a profit. An abject failure by every metric.

It’s crazy how media pretends Twitter wasn’t the biggest contributor to Trump’s MAGA movement, being the most followed user on the site up until his fanatic followers stormed the US capitol. I mean did people already forget these dreadful years of “Trump tweeted” headlines every single day??? Twitter has been an enemy to democracy for many years.
Not sure if this is the right place but I need to get off Twitter/X, I would love to use Mastodon but the hurdle feels bigger than Reddit to Lemmy. The Mastodon client feels uncomfortable to me for some reason, and I guess unlike reddit/lemmy where you have a group of people talking about specific topics, I am interested in following specific people on Twitter - a fraction of whom are on Mastodon. I don’t want to support Musk or his platform but I’m struggling to find a replacement.
I guess if he starts charging for it the decision will be made for me 😅
If it’s the worst for disinformation then it’s the best for information, right? Right?
EU should block X. See how Lonnie responds to that.
Future headline: Lonboy threatens to sue EU
We watching how daft Elon is in real time, and his fan boys and girls are still trying to tell us he’s smart…
Has the EU ever watched the media talking heads or read a newspaper, they contain government propaganda and intel agency talking points
This is completely unsurprising. Under the new “free speech” regime, X has been completely deluged with antisemitic, pro-Russia, and anti-democracy propaganda. It’s no wonder that advertisers don’t want to be associated with that type of content.
You can’t drive away the Russian bots, then people would see how bad Musk truly fucked up!
Surely it can’t be worse than Truth Social or Rumble… I’m assuming they main mainstream platforms
