Trunks Warned Us About Twitter

[@saver_spenta_mainyu]

Trunks came back to warn us...but it was too late.

[@dragonknight1560]

Goku: ... What's Twitter? Trunks: ... Huh? Goku: Is it someone strong! Aw man, who knew there was someone so strong just right under my nose. That kinda sucks. Trunks: ... I should have told my father first. Piccolo yelling from afar: HE WOULDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TWITTER? Vegeta now yells: WHO? IS IT SOMEONE WORTH DESTROYING! I'LL FIGHT THIS TWITTER AND PROVE PRINCE OF SAIYANS IS THE STRONGEST! Trunks: ... *slowly face palms* Should have let the Androids kill me.

yes it would. All the artist that havent transfered their works to other platforms. There is so much art in the site that would become lost media. Waybackmachine cant keep them all i tried already looking for some that had the accounts deleted but didnt reupload anywhere else.

[@wakkaseta8351]

They raised the price of the impersonation license? Well now this is simply an outrage.

[@Just.Kidding]

The first and third things you brought up have been happening for _so_ long (not that it excuses it obv), like actually no joke at least a decade. Also, not only has Twitter always been bad, it has never _not_ been a fœtid, sickly pile of dogshit - the kind from a REALLY sick dog, too, like a scrappy one with mange - but you _are_ right, in the sense that it's becoming a drizzling, bubbling mess at an accelerated rate.

Dude bought the site for like 20 times its value, then somehow managed to make it plummet into... what's at it now, 1/8th of what it was when he bought it? It's actually impressive how he even managed to wreck Twitter THIS hard, it's like at every turn he somehow manages to make the site worse.

[@isgamer-8732]

Maybe that's a the point, it's a website that needs to go, and hopefully he's making it disappear. Hopefully Facebook is next, in fact let's just get rid of social media for awhile, maybe the world will heal. Even a week will do, just get these people offline for once in they're miserable lives.

Trunks... you're waaaaaaaaaaaaay too late. Twitter... or rather now X, has always sucked. It's not like Elon came to make the site bad, it was always bad. If you can't tell it was bad before, maybe this is why the Androids wiped your timeline

[@haruhirogrimgar6047]

I mean... It has definitely gotten worse. They used to attempt to deal with bots as best as they could. Now elon seemingly empowered scam and misinfo bots.

[@abrahammesrajecorrea2349]

@@haruhirogrimgar6047 I'm no saying no to that. I know the site is worst... but I'm tired of people saying for the bazillion time X is bad because of Elon. Like if Twitter was some sort of Alexandria library that got demolished by him. The only salvageable thing about X are artists posting their art and that's it... X has always sucked.

@@abrahammesrajecorrea2349Twitter was good for a while. People forget that memes about stuff isn’t always accurate. Like the insane Twitter users made up next to nothing of its total users

[@aj991]

The problem with twitter, it's doesn't have any subgroup, so you have this 1 bracket of generalist group, and man on man... You have somebody who got their hobby or values, and then somebody step on their hobby and values, and people start yelling each others. and worse of all, the agorithm thinks it's a good engangement post, and they actually try to promore the argument. Thanks algorithm.

The block thing is whatever - incognito mode always bypassed it. Far more concerning is the AI stuff. All the pictures posted there are now used to train their AIs, with no way to opt out.

Pictures? I've seen some great AI videos with people that never were that are out there.

How so? Twitter finally started enforcing its policies fairly, and has been purging activists from its moderation teams. This is an absolute win. the Notes features allowing everyone to be fact checked, regardless of politics, is great for putting people in their place when they are proven wrong on something.

[@WILIZIN]

Every website does AI scraping. Its never going away.

[@MrsNeedlemouse]

People in the comments are coping hard, you can say whatever you want about how bad twitter was but the site is obviously much worse right now.

[@RestArino]

Coping? You say 1 thing this guy disagrees with and he shadow bans you. We can see clearly what this guy considers valuable for a site. The ability to censor anything and anyone he doesn't like.

[@roar104]

idk man, I'm actually seeing shit from people I follow and not seeing political trash pushed at me constantly. Things that are trending are naturally trending as well not forced political trash. The latest stuff with AI is bad, yes, and other changes weren't always great, but people are fucking coping hard if they think it's much worse

[@stevelucky7579]

Purple haired son of the richest person on earth, on a planet of kings and emperors, complains about paying for an unnecessary feature on an app he doesn’t have to participate in. Yeah sounds about right.

[@Eternatus00]

Yall keep saying "twitter is done for" every couple months only to go back crawling to it 😂

[@Theycallmetomu]

Yeah, people need to step up and get off twitter entirely. I mean, I get it. That's where your favorite creators are, it's where the conversation is. But that's a vicious cycle. Until enough people are willing to say "enough is enough, I have had it with this mother @!#$ing N@zis on this mother forking website" and go elsewhere, the app formerly known as Twitter shall continue to be the dominate source of news. Though to be frank, I tried some of the Twitter substitutes for a while, and it wasn't really that much better? It just became a bit of an echo chamber. BUT you shouldn't take my word for things too seriously-I disliked the very foundational idea of Twitter because "140 character limit? Doesn't that just encourage people to abandon all sense of nuance?" So I may have an axe to grind. Why yes, there ARE four paragraphs to this reply, thank you for noticing!

Versus now where the owner explicitly retweets, endorses, and has been talking up the possibility of taking a cabinet position of one of the presidential candidates? Only now is twitter non-partisan? When even in the Twitter files they couldn't find a single email talking about targeting a group over politics, much less openly endorsing a candidate.

All their bigotry does is make them look like an ignorant idiot to the people around them, it does them no favors to discriminate for irrelevance and or irrational reasons. But blocking them shows that you don’t understand that. It shows that you are mutually ignorant to all the people you make a list of in your block list. Often times a lot more ignorant than those you block.
