teencrime,

Participating in an Elon ran version of Reddit sounds just as fun as being launched into the sun would be

Famko,

Come on, give the sun more credit, atleast it’ll be beautiful to look at for a while!

son_named_bort,

We should test how fun it would be to be launched in the sun, with Elon serving as the test subject.

Absolutely. Beyond shit management, I've never seen someone so desperately in love with meme culture who absolutely does not understand humor on any level.

You think he's that stupid? He'd launch his rocket at night, of course!

romaselli,

It warms my heart that Twitter spent millions developing a product that will never take off ❤️

Rakonat,

Im getting google+ vibes

Timn,

Fuck it. Bring google+ back!

Google+ could have been amazing. It did so much right compared to the others.

No activity whatsoever on it though

pikmeir,

As someone who moderated several G+ communities, it had plenty of activity - spam. For whatever reason Google’s own filters didn’t catch it well and it’d all go to the mods. Also it didn’t have much discussion. Just sharing links and reacting. Got boring real fast.

ChriskiV,

Wouldn’t be Elon’s first time.

I mean I guess they technically take off, there’s just the aftermath …

They can’t handle Twitter and they want to reboot reddit?

Yaks,

As if the average reddit user would fall for this, Twitter is awful.

And on the same day when they fucked up their infrastructure so badly that they had to rate-limit all users. Yeah, okay Elon, you can host my community for me.

LazyBane,

I’m part of the F-Zero Twitter community and the most action it gets is from bots that somehow break into the invite only community. (Thanks Elon)

It’s a cool idea but suffers from the same kind of insulation of discord, which end up running counter to the openness twitter got popular for.

mr_tyler_durden,

I guess if you were looking for a platform that is run by a large man child, is somehow on shakier ground than Reddit, and will suck then this is good news?

silverbax, (edited )

Twitter communities have been around a good while. As in, I even wrote a search app that found new communities as people created them, and people used my app (and other apps) for about a year or so, and then eventually Twitter added that functionality themselves, so I deprecated my app, and then about year or so later, Elon bought Twitter and communities died from lack of use/ support.

In other words, this was around for a while before Elon.

CrypticCoffee,

Imagine getting schooled on his to run your social media compant by Elon Musk…

brewdtype,

Joke’s on them. I left Twitter months ago.

Brokensilence410,

Jokes on them, I never had a Twitter.

Zoldyck,

Lol no thanks.

brightstar,

Twitter is a shitty platform especially after it was taken by Elon. No way I’m going there for community-based discussions.

simpleduckman,

Communities have been part of Twitter for some time, but they haven’t pushed it much

I haven’t seen it in my bottom bar till now, I just noticed it looked like there were more icons than before and saw this

I love how all mainstream platforms keep mimicking each other to become exact copies of one another. I wonder if there was a way for platforms to collaborate with each other and interconnect somehow rather than duplicating efforts by copying all features from all other platforms? 🤔

IphtashuFitz,

But if we don’t create a walled garden then how can we lock in users and maximize our profits???

Willie,

I'm pretty sure this had launched a bit earlier, but yeah, pretty convenient timing.

I didn’t notice till today, might’ve been a rollout
