This story keeps getting posted, as if the propaganda needs to be spread more. This was an automated system that was in place before musk which temporarily removed the blue check when you’re profile changed, as a precaution against hacked accounts having a huge reach. UAW changed their profile picture when the strike was called. I’m pro strike and member of a union who is in solidarity with the strike action, but let’s call facts as they are and not spread misinformation, even when it’s for our side
I have no beef with billionaires. I buy licenses for Windows, and I order from Amazon. But some billionaires are better about keeping their end of the bargain than others.
A UAW official told The Intercept that the union had paid for X verification and confirmed that the account had been marked as verified until earlier today when UAW said it was removed without any notification from X
I don’t know. A auto workers union giving money to an oligarch that’s always attacking unions and runs a car company without unionized workers sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. /s
He’s just reinforcing the Blie Check brand. Having it revoked is a badge of honor. About time the UAW got decent leadership after their former leadership helped fuck over antler-bernie at the 2016 convention.
Well, there are other microbloging services on the Fediverse. Akkoma. Firefish. Misskey. Or there's Friendica, which has more of a Facebook-like interface and supports groups (eg Lemmy communities).
I will look into those thank you wasn’t aware I like Twitter but the recommendations are horrible for posts. That’s why I don’t use it at all I want a Twitter like interface probably will never happen though I despise Facebook the most.
Yeah I have a kbin account but never use it not a fan of the interface and all the different things like threads, microblog etc just feels like too much being presented needs a more simplified design.
Perhaps it is me never using twitter, but mastodon felt really easy to use. In contrast to lemmy for example. The only difference it seems it has is that names have @ sign used like in email (as they do work like email, or have accounts on different servers).
Dorsey is just as much of a fascist piece of shit as Musk. He supports the same things and still seems to think Musk is the only person who can “save” Twitter.
Jack has fully jumped on the Nostr bandwagon, so much so that he has deleted his Bluesky account (he did nothing but complain about the platform anyway).
