I thought he was into horror?

[–] Joker@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 hours ago

I don't blame him, reality is scarier than fiction.

[–] john117@lemmy.jmsquared.net 33 points 6 hours ago

yawn. wake me up when he joins a social media site not owned by a corp.

Threads is the same or worse. I just deleted my account.

Good luck.

[–] venia_sil@fedia.io 93 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Follow me on Threads

so, nothing has changed.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 115 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

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.

Meta admitted to tolerating election influencing, it doesnt matter in which direction, because it means they can be bought.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 31 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

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.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

But is the nazi rhetoric on facebook coming from the owners?

[–] babybus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 23 minutes ago* (last edited 22 minutes ago)

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.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 9 points 6 hours ago

They aren't saying with their mouths, but they seem to be fine with it padding their wallets.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 8 points 9 hours ago

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.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] Seeders@sh.itjust.works 79 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'm leaving Reddit. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic. Follow me on Sh.itjust.works, if you like.

[–] Sorse@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 28 minutes ago

It clearly following, I don’t know what you’re talking about

[–] Joker@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

You can subscribe to their profile RSS feed, if you are into RSS.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You have to go old school, bookmark their profile in a browser

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

Yeah I do this frequently. Then I randomly go back to people's profiles and often find interesting communities and threads that way.

You clearly don't know anything about Stephen King's politics and social positions.

[–] hakase@lemm.ee 10 points 7 hours ago

Apparently neither does he.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

You're mixing up your problem with Twitter and normal humans' problem with Twitter, get out of your echo chamber a bit, it might help.

[–] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 12 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 45 minutes ago

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.

[–] llii@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 5 hours ago

"I know this one billionare is a sociopath, but the others are great, there won't happen anything bad in the future, I'm sure!"

[–] ech@lemm.ee 14 points 9 hours ago

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.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 35 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Leaving a corpo-propaganda place, join another corpo-propaganda place. So close, King, so close.

[–] ruk_n_rul@monyet.cc 11 points 10 hours ago

Just like the chest piece, King just moved one square.

[–] ProIsh@lemmy.world 16 points 10 hours ago

Now it's too toxic? I love SK but come on. Supported that site for too long.

[–] root_beer@midwest.social 13 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Boom! Mic drop! Stephen King EVISCERATES loser Elon in this EPIC post on X Formerly Known As Twitter!

[gif of that person clapping, you should know which one, everyone posted it endlessly every time Chrissy Teigen or those Krassenstein fucks threw some meaningless shade] hats off to this brave hashtag Resister for doing something that everyone should have fucking done three years ago at the very latest

I’m done, fuck everything, fuck everyone

[–] Joker@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

At this rate, Twitter worth will be in minus soon.

[–] Lydia_K@startrek.website 46 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Doesn't matter, he got what he paid for on November 5th

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 15 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

while he's well and truly in the black, what he paid for was banning the Elonjet account. Everything else was an after thought.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 19 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure he paid to dismantle the public square, an organizing space for the left, a voice for millions, and all that sweet sweet information that will soon be used to hunt the enemy within.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Ding Ding Ding.

I lost count of the amount of times I got downvoted to oblivion for saying "He isnt an idiot manchild, he is up to something. Yall are assuming he is playing checkers badly, he is playing chess and whupping your ass"

You dont get to be the richest man in the world by being an absolute fucking idiot.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

100%, and funded partially by Saudis whi dismembered journalist Khashoggi over the Panama Papers. This was an attack on the public and it continues. It started the fog of war

[–] 100@fedia.io 7 points 11 hours ago

at least there is competition these days, unlike during twitters rise

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 3 points 10 hours ago

He's going over to Threads, which is only a slight improvement.

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

The "sudden" realisation of corporations and publications and celebrities that now xitter is bad, but a month ago it was fine, is one of the thinner veils I've seen for a while, and there are a lot of thin veils going around.

The truth is, they only care once their income (or other personal interest) is potentially threatened, not a millisecond sooner, and definitely not about the bigotry that's always been on there, but which has been completely undeniable for a good couple of years now, and which they were happy to turn a blind eye to this long.

If you think these people are allies, you're giving them waaaaaaay too much credit.

"I tried hanging out with the Nazis, but they're just too toxic"

Honestly.. 🙄🙄🙄
