You're right, but its not just social media. Websites have always tried to encourage people to stay on them, so they disincentivize going to other sites. Think about it like this: a TV station saying "don't touch that dial". Websites likewise don't want you to "change the channel", basically.
nov 25, 2024, 4:52 am • 2 1 • view
But there's a big difference in saying "don't touch that dial" or "stay tune," and, say, allowing one to only change the channel during an ad. Or in this case limiting who sees your content because it features an external link or a differing, harmless POV.

"All nice ppl will be on BlueSky"... I press "X" for doubt. If I learned something from the Rob Reiner and Mark Hamill situation is that the most toxic ppl from Twitter are the ones who migrated to BlueSky after the election.

Slavery again I said on Twitter The goal was to legalize slavery- Already legal in prisons They'll make all wards of the state have prisoner status: Foster kids Mentally ill Prisoners Those awaiting deportation They've weakened child labor laws Let teens marry adults Force births Cut school $

That may be hyperbolic Because the 1700s were a fucking mess But it's ramping up If they change all state wards to prisoners? If that includes those who use Medicaid or SNAP benefits? Slavery will be great again For MAGAts

For me, it’s the fact that Twitter for iOS doesn’t allow me to open links directly in your default browser. I’m forced to first deal with their shitty in-app browser which fails to show controls or let me switch to default browser half the time

This is why journos and legacy news outlets are finally leaving that platform. Got nothing to do with ethics (if it did, they'd have left 2+ years ago). It's all about who can monetize the platform most effectively, and the papers realized it wasn't them.

He’s the richest now, but he needed other investors $$ when he accidentally bought Twitter. They want their money back but the value of X has fallen dramatically. Musk isn’t paying these investors back out of his own pocket.

Elon misled people into believing he stood for something other than himself. When he starts turning a dial left or right and puts his thumb on throttling links. It goes beyond an echo chamber.

Well he is having to do this because of the steep drop in ad revenue for Twitter (because of his own actions and the content he now props up there). Hopefully this convinces more people to leave. Substackers who have been complaining about linking issues, now is your moment!
