So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did... you know... and we're on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.
I think its both. Carlson has a certain kind of cash cow viewerbase that isn't really good with technology so Musk is trying to pivot into that as a base for steady cash flow.
He hasn't been paying for Twitter's servers, which is the equivalent of a construction company refusing to pay a supplier for wood. No wood = no product, likewise for Elon no servers = no twitter.

Read the article, and gonna be honest I feel like the sudden push for "AI" development and marketing is to keep the stock prices up amid layoffs from hiring too much since the pandemic.
I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself...
I could see it happening honestly. He refuses to pay his bills for critical infrastructure, Twitter is getting evicted from one of his main offices, and now there's a growing debacle with ads being shown with neo-nazi propaganda; if those ad companies start to pull out it's game over for Twitter, and possibly a good chunk of Elon's wealth.
...what the hell? Why didn't Jack Dorsey cancel the project once he decided that Twitter would be remote work only? Reeks of incompetence tbh, seems like the company was already having leadership issues before Elon took over.
Chat feature, reddit snoo avatar crap, overdoing it with hundreds of different pointless awards, and inline gifs. (yes I know you can put in images but so far everyone is using them sparingly, and even then i think kbin's UI can handle them better than reddit did).
Prior to the protest reddit was in full support of the protest. Most polls on subs supported a shutdown. Now, seemingly every community cant understand why the protest was needed and they're calling it a mod power trip. There is a 3rd possibility. This is an unfounded conspiracy but reddit themselves could be manipulating...
Another update and possibly a solution for some case where posts were not properly deleted. Seems I jumped the gun on this and the restores haven't been intentional - at least not in this particular case....
