Re: How Twitter?
Gotta make money off Twitter somehow!
Twitter is liquidating fun from it’s office in SF and is putting things like a twitter bird statue and a bunch of expensive kitchen items including multiple $25K espresso machines, all with a starting bid of $25. Bidding starts next month.

A Twitter user who runs an account which tracks Elon Musk's private jet says it has been shadowbanned since Musk bought the platform.
In a thread Sweeney dubbed, "My Twitter Files," he claimed an anonymous Twitter employee informed him that his ElonJet account was "visibility limited/restricted to a severe degree internally" on December 2.
He also shared what appeared to be an internal Twitter message from Ella Irwin, Twitter's new head of Trust and Safety, requesting that ElonJet be subjected to "heavy VF [visibility filtering].

Dave Chappelle had a treat for attendees at his comedy show in San Francisco last night. He brought attention-starved hectobillionaire Elon Musk on stage. Cameras weren't allowed at the show, but someone with the Twitter handle Cleo PatrA posted a video of Musk getting booed and jeered by the audience. Curiously, Cleo PatrA's account was deleted.

Re: How Twitter?
In a hilarious two for one, Chapelle has pissed off a chunk of his fans by calling them poor,“All you people booing, and I’m just pointing out the obvious — are in terrible seats.”
Meanwhile in a perfectly Trumpian lie, Musk is building his how own narrative of what happened on his personal social media site,
“ Technically, it was 90% cheers & 10% boos (except during quiet periods), but, still, that’s a lot of boos, which is a first for me in real life (frequent on Twitter).
It’s almost as if I’ve offended SF’s unhinged leftists … but nahhh.”

Re: How Twitter?
On the bright side, Twitter might now have a way to not just close your account, but actually delete it.

Twitter's former head of trust and safety has fled his home due to an escalation in threats resulting from Elon Musk's campaign of criticism against him, a person familiar with the matter told CNN on Monday.
Yoel Roth, who resigned from the social media company in November, has in recent weeks faced a storm of attacks and threats of violence following the release of the so-called "Twitter Files" — internal Twitter communications that new owner Musk has released through journalists including Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss.

“Looks like Yoel is arguing in favor of children being able to access adult Internet services in his PhD thesis," Musk wrote in a tweet Saturday, with a screenshot to what appears to be a thesis written by Roth about gay hookup apps, specifically Grindr. In it, he argues that services like these, which already are known to have underage users, should “focus on crafting safety strategies that can accommodate a wide variety of use cases” as a form of harm reduction on social media. Roth is gay.

Re: How Twitter?
It is possible get a plugin on Chrome to mark the Twitter Blue paid checkmarks so they appear distinct from accounts whose identities are actually verified (you know, the idea of saying they're "verified" being that they were verified to be who they purport to be, not that it's verified that they have $8).

Re: How Twitter?
One of the lolbertarians lolyers I can stand to read bails: Today I was thinking of all the websites I’ve spent time on, and the people I’ve met there. I messed around on the internet in the days of screeching dial-up modems, but I didn’t really start to contribute regularly to online communities until 1995 or so. I met my wife on the Usenet back before that would inspire a gasp of horror; it’s been mostly unusable for decades. I participated in communities on AOL and Prodigy and a few of the other dinosaur provider/forums. I spent lots of time on an etiquette forum until they kicked me off for rudeness (best thing really; my tutoring was going nowhere). I spent lots of time on the Snopes forums, a gaming forum called Gone Gold that one day vanished, its successor gaming forum called Octopus Overlords. I participated in sites devoted to particular games, particular movies, particular hobbies. Many of those forums are gone now, like the proverbial tears in rain. Usually whatever content I posted there — primitive lawsplainers, snark, banter, arguments — is gone as well. I still interact with many of the people I knew there, having connected with them at a series of successor locations, but many are lost to the decades — people I felt I knew, now only vaguely remembered. Now it’s Twitter’s turn. My late friend and co-writer Patrick started @Popehat’s Twitter account and built it. I only started using it around 2014 or so. Gradually I used it more and he used it less, until he split off to his own account. I miss him, and his perspective and wit and humanity, keenly. Twitter’s not the same without him. That’s one reason I’m leaving it. The other reason is that I think it’s fundamentally changed, at least for now. I’m not just talking about the increasing tech glitches. Just as Twitter’s former leaders exercised their free speech and free association rights to brand Twitter one way, Twitter’s new boss is exercising his rights to brand it another way. That new branding is ugly and despicable and I don’t want to contribute content to it. The last straw was Elon Musk sending lunatics and bigots against former employees and leaning into conspiracy theories. So I’m exercising my free speech and free association and leaving, and shuttering the account. I’ll probably delete the past tweets because I can’t stomach them being available to promote this enterprise. This is exactly how it’s supposed to work, as I’ve been arguing for years. Twitter — or whoever runs it — has rights. I have rights. If one of us disagrees with the other’s exercise of rights, we can part company. That, not government regulation, is the way to do it. I’m repulsed by the flood of triumphant bigotry and trolling, and by Musk’s sad-lonely-boy leaning into the arms of freaks who embrace him in his fruitless quest for love. But I’d never ask the government to stop it. I’m voting with my feet, exactly the way I’ve been telling people to do for years. I will continue to write and interact. You can find me at these places: On the Popehat page on Facebook; On this Substack, the Popehat Report; On SeriousTrouble.Show, the Substack for the podcast I co-host with Josh Barro; On Post.News, “@Popehatâ€; On Mastodon at @popehat@mastodon.social; And by email at ken at popehat dot com. Everything ends, and that’s okay. New doors open. | | | |
I'll miss seeing what kind of hat you were at various times. :-) And more than that, I'll miss your great content. Glad you'll still be around in other places, at least.

See you on Post.
