Having an account on X supports this shit whether you like it or not it.
Elon hasn’t said a word, but we will.
Fucking emerald spoon clown.
That is the most accurate description for him. Zero notes, pitch perfect.
Brazil didn’t shut down “X”. They did it themselves so X wouldn’t have a Brazilian entity subject to Brazilian court orders. That is why Starlink got caught in the mess.
Local press and lots of people in Brazil criticize judges because, due to flaws on local laws and 80’s redemocratization efforts, they have some perks, privileges and exceptional powers no democratic country would give to them. There are cases ranging from content showing them traveling overseas being not visible on local internet and TV people being given cease-and-desist orders for disagreeing with some judge decision, to people being detained by Federal Police agents for criticizing justice system inside a plane that happens to have a judge among the passengers - not to mention those FBI agents detained at Rio de Janeiro airport for containing a judge’s wife who got unruly in a plane for drinking too much during the fly.
This time however he asked for it, and our justice system toke the right decisions. Elon Musk should know how ridiculously overpowered our judges are before acting like that.
Fuck you rocket Kiko hahah
I’m so down to calling him Kiko from here on out.
Thanks to Brazil for making this possible!
It’s in my head, it’s done.
Just you wait til Rocket Kiko knows about that and tells everything to his mom! As soon as he’s done crying on the corner…
Hahahah I visualized that
Holy shit, he actually does look like Villagran lmao
Indeed lol
Reply to his every tweet with that.
Elon should have received additional fines for his taunts and threats, honestly.
I wish I had his problems.
- Brazil asked Elon to ban 7 fascist accounts spreading disinformation
- Elon refused pretending it was a free speech issue even though he complied multiple times with similar requests from right wing govts
Gotta say, this is new information to me. I’ve briefly looked at the stories and the banning of twitter, but I never realized this was entirely because Elon wouldn’t ban accounts as he does for right wing government.
Elon seems like a kinda shitty guy.
Elon seems like a kinda shitty guy
Hot take!
I mean it genuinely is because of the “kinda” and “seems”
“Elon is a shitty guy” is one of the coldest takes out there at this point
But remember kids, he’s some sort of business and tech genius!
The real life inspiration for super genius Cave Johnson from Portal.
Yeah, but Cave Johnson was a compelling and interesting individual.
A bit unfair since real life idiots don’t have good writing teams.
Sometimes they have good PR teams though. Musk used to have a PR team back when he was rich enough to afford one but not rich enough to not need one.
Definitely has managed to invest in some incredibly profitable stuff but he also says and does the absolutely stupidest shit imaginable. It’s astounding
Happy cake day
uuh, new users for the fediverse. looking forward to y’all ;-)
He acts literally like a fucking toddler.
Perhaps even a toddler in a tantrum.
Now that’s just kind of rude toward toddlers. He acts like what he is… a Ketamine addled, narcissistic billionaire, who got lucky in life and thinks he crafted his own destiny all by his own hands.
Fair enough, fair enough. Toddlers are way more pleasant than him, even when they’ve shat their pants. I apologise to all toddlers.
Ketamine is a dissociative which strips away what you know about things, sort of like how a child doesnt know things. So in a way, he’s actually a toddler.
Because he is a bitch.
Twitter is now removing the block function next. It ought to bleed users like crazy.
Wait, what?
X/Twitter will soon be making more changes to the block button, with CEO Elon Musk confirming that all public posts will be viewable going forward, even to those who have been blocked
I thought most stuff was viewable even without account. Doesn’t seem like a big deal if you can view their post but not interact with it since I would’ve thought others interacting with you was what you wanted to block them from doing anyway.
If you’re blocking users left and right that you know spread misinformation, you will still see their posts. No way you can keep track of the usernames in your head, and now you may hear a misinformation or two and assume it to be a fact.
I think they are just changing it so the blocked user can still see the blocker’s posts, not the other way around.
Oh, that’s just normal then
Wow, that was not made clear to me. Fortunately I’ve never needed to block anyone specifically from my profiles/content (it’s the other way around, I don’t want to see some other users stuff)
But good to know if I had a stalker or something, blocking them doesn’t mean they are blocked from my content, it means they’re blocked from contact.
I totally would have assumed blocking someone on various social media platform went both ways in terms of what’s visible to each other.

Isn’t that how it works on most platforms though? You can see the account you’ve been blocked by, but can’t interact with them.
On reddit it stopped the blocked person from seeing your account and comments.
Or it used to. Or I’m misremembering.
Which is not even a big deal because blocked users could just create a separate account to view posts they’re blocked from anyway.
No they aren’t. They are changing how it works, in a way that is mostly immaterial to the user. That is not even close to completely removing.
Yep.
From the sounds of it:
Before: if you block somebody, they cannot see your stuff.
After: if you block somebody, they can still visit your profile.
Usually, when you block someone, they can no longer see your feed; instead, it’s replaced with a message stating that they’re blocked. Now, they can freely browse your feed; they’re just not allowed to interact or comment on your posts.

NGL Elon’s excitement sounds like he was blocked by a lot of people and Daddy Musk will not have closed doors in this household! 😮💨
To be fair though: While circumventing that was as easy as logging out, the inability to see things while logged in was kinda stupid and gave people a false perception of privacy. In that setting that change is just a case of being honest.
With the ability to view posts without account largely removed, it’s a bit of a different story, but I have to admit that if it’s public on Xitter, it’s still kinda public, so hiding it still kinda missing the poin.
Stalkers and abusers rejoice!
Seriously, if you are on twitter and have had a relationship with someone like this do not post on your account or they will find you now.
Your scenario doesn’t exist. All you had to do to get around this was make a new profile.
A small barrier is better than none
No longer being able to hide your public posts from specific users seems hardly immaterial to me.
I still prefer to refer to him as “Leon.”
In South Africa, we call him Melon Husk.
Nah, Leon is a decent name, also that protagonist from some Resident Evil games
“Elmo” is better if you ask me. They’re both annoying children that need to shut the fuck up and go away.
Elmo is beloved and doesn’t hurt anyone. Put some respect on his name.
As someone who once had a toddler, he’s not beloved, he’s hated by most parents. Because he’s fucking awful. Stop talking to the fish and the baby, Elmo! They can’t fucking understand you! Also, you don’t seem to notice that Mr. Noodle keeps changing and that lack of basic attention to detail is worrying.
On top of that, his parents basically neglect him, which is why you never see him.
Fuck Elmo. Give me Cookie Monster, Ernie and Bert and Oscar the Grouch.
I swear that’s the first time I have heard them referred to as Ernie and Bert and not Bert n ernie
Apparently Sesame Street prefers it my way: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/The_Best_of_Ernie_and_Bert
Yeah get him! Elmo has been dodging the consequences of his war crimes for far too long.
Israel, is that you?
I have these same feelings for Paw Patrol
Nothing can top the searing hatred for Caillou though.
We don’t say that name in this house.
Elephant musth
that makes him sound more normal
