    I like King but like everyone leaving the boat since a couple of day, too little too late. Plus, leaving a babyllionaire’s toy for another babyllionaire’s toy is probably not the brightess idea.

      He’s a multimillionaire who spent an entire decade or more so coked out and drunk that he doesn’t even remember writing Cujo. Don’t set your expectations so high.

    So, he took his sweet time to leave the nazi bar and, of all places, he moves to the bar already on its way of becoming another nazi bar.

    Ok

    He’s going to Threads??? They have finally launched the metaverse and no one has told me anything??? I don’t see any other rational reason to do something like that.

      Idk, Zuck doesn’t seem to suck up to Trump quite as much, so there’s that. He still does, but he’s just a bit more of a “behind closed doors” kind of person.

      I wish I could delete my Threads account, but I can’t delete what doesn’t exist. And I think I deleted my Twitter account before Musk bought it, but I honestly can’t remember since I haven’t used it many years.

      This thread is kind of wild. Do all of y’all understand that it’s more the blatant endorsement and promotion of literal Nazis that is driving people off Twitter? It ain’t the corporatization. We might not like that but to pretend like it’s the same thing is fucking insane.

        Facebook and its sister sites have been a hotbed of unmoderated nazi content for longer than some of the people in this thread have been alive.

          I feel like with Facebook it’s more of a YouTube situation where they don’t care as long as it makes them money and no major regulator raises their eyebrows. Which is despicable, don’t get me wrong, but Twitter is not just doing that, it is actively endorsing these mfs

        We must have different experiences with facebook, because I see nazi rhetoric just as often there. It may not be as blatantly supported, but they certainly do nothing to keep it off of the platform.

            It is intentionally amplified by the owners because that makes them money. We have more than enough knowledge to say that with confidence thanks to the empirical data and ex-employees.

            Facebook spread disinformation from a junta that caused a genocide and the Zuck did nothing to stop that disinformation stream. He’s almost as bad as a Nazi.

          Right? People seems to forgot there’s mass exodus off facebook due to this exact issue and they still have this issue as of now, and also the protest against federating with Thread not too long ago.

          Zuckerberg zucks Trump’s choad as much as Elon behind the scenes. It’s kinda worse in a way.

        If you don’t like weird billionaires running the show and pushing political misinformation, don’t use Facebook.

        Threads was awash in bullshit “hacked at the tabulation level” election conspiracy theories following the election. It may not be MAGA, but it’s still making people stupid.

        Meta even has Project 2025 people on staff helping run Threads: https://www.intomore.com/the-internet/why-did-meta-just-hire-this-ron-desantis-approved-project-2025-alum/

        Stop using social media run by billionaires of you’re tired of getting fucked over by the ruling class.

          Normal people don’t mind the billionaires as long as they’re not intentionally pushing fascist content. They want a product that they don’t need to understand to be able to use.

    Not to say people shouldn’t leave Twitter, but like…this isn’t going to devastate him. He’s in the inner circle. Twitter could burn down and I doubt he would even notice.
