Elon does Elon things.

Freedom of speech is not free.

    Also saw an interview with the new “CEO” of Twitter. She was asked about this new policy and had 0 clue about it 🤣

    It will be applied to new accounts in two countries: New Zealand and the Philippines.

    As a person from the Philippines, this just probably increases the cost to hire troll farms.

    The corruption is so rampant here that the increase in price would probably be negligible to them and nothing will change.

    Elon just gets money from electoral manipulation. He wants that cut from killing democracy.

    I’m waiting. The sooner everyone I follow moves to other platforms, the better.

    I guess Elon wants to start sifting who are the real Twitter addicts.

    If you use Mastodon, might not be a bad idea to donate what you might have given to Mr. Musk.

    Musk is actively trying to kill Twitter. Let’s just wait and see how this plays out.

    Anyway, if you are still looking for an alternative: I recommend Scuttlebutt and WireMin. They are both decentralised so no one would be able to steal our data for making money or charge us for posting.
