You probably won't get a response about the biggest election intervention/manipulation in us history. Biden is dirty

News orgs should just open up their own private Mastodon instances for their journalists to join and post from. Stop using Twitter.
 

People who don’t already have a Mastodon account couldn't just join on CNN.social (or whatever) because there might be too many people to manage and they don’t really want to do that job. But they would drive millions of people to the platform and away from Twitter where they are being blocked.

 

Right now there need to be more instances and easy ways for people to join.

Elon Musk Fires Twitter Engineer Over Declining Views

February 9, 2023 at 3:29 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 72 Comments

Elon Musk fired a top Twitter engineer because he was upset over the declining number of users that were apparently able to see his tweets, Platformer reports.

Said Musk: “This is ridiculous. I have more than 100 million followers, and I’m only getting tens of thousands of impressions.”

“Employees showed Musk internal data regarding engagement with his account, along with a Google Trends chart. Last April, they told him, Musk was at ‘peak’ popularity in search rankings, indicated by a score of ‘100.’ Today, he’s at a score of nine. Engineers had previously investigated whether Musk’s reach had somehow been artificially restricted, but found no evidence that the algorithm was biased against him.”

“Musk did not take the news well.”

NPR also quit Twitter after Musk labeled them (incorrectly). Dude just wings everything and assumes it'll work out. No fucks given and it's killing shit.

 

it's not a huge surprise to be honest. it's how he operates SpaceX and it's why he blows up/crashes so many rockets. It's a "shoot from the hip" type of testing which is fine in rocket test if you don't mind blowing a shit ton of money to do it.

SpaceX is successful because they have someone competent running things as president and CEO. You see what happens when Elon tries to run it himself.

The news feed has been fucked up for a while now and getting worse. You never know if you're going to get a tweet from a few minutes ago or a couple days ago. It's so stupid and weird. And he expects people to pay for an enhanced version of that?

 

I was optimistic when I heard about Elon's buying it due to the partisanship of the people in charge. But all we got was trading one group of "god-kings" for another god-king. It's not better, it's just a different kind of bad now.
