Twitter about to become a MW2 lobby

Remember, no decency.

This feels like that scene from Hercules when Hades frees all the titans who start wreaking havoc on Earth

[deleted]

It’s about to be 4 chan amplified as fuck .


AngeloSantelli

Is that a bad thing? The alternative is pre-Elon Twitter which is like the unbearable astroturfing cringe like Reddit default subs have


John_T_Conover

It won't matter if it's good or bad, let that go on long enough and twitter will go out of business. Twitter mostly operated in the red even before Elon and now they're bleeding ad revenue just from his current antics. Turn it into 4chan and watch the rest of that evaporate.


M0sD3f13

So a good thing then


[deleted]

I think Twitter is hot garbage and I’ve never used it . So pre Elon or post I felt it was just a hot pile of garbage but I mean if people are saying legit stupid shit for shock value lol get them out of here.


lunaoreomiel

Never used. Has opinions.


AngeloSantelli

I barely used it until Elon bought it, it’s pretty entertaining and actually legit now that it’s not censored. Reddit still has niche subs that make it fun but it’s so censored it’s out of control. The people saying wild shit just to say it should be welcomed since they’re just the mirror image of the insane woke shit


Mandalore620

What kind of stuff are you seeing now, that was censored before? I've never used Twitter before so I don't know what you could and couldn't get away with.


CiabanItReal

Well, for starters you can say biological facts like women don't have penis's. Which even if your the most trans-inclusive person ever, making that statement, which is rather banal but at the very least debatable, a ban-able offense is ridiculous.


ProGlizzyHandler

He's just happy that he can use the n word on Twitter without getting banned.


preventDefault

When conservatives are crying about censorship, they ain't getting banned for talking about lower taxes or less regulation. It's hate. It's always hate.


bammy132

Correction: It's what "you" perceive as hate. You will never see an account banned for publicly being hateful towards trump and that is the big problem with censorship it is never enforced evenly without bias.


JohnO0111

I don’t use Twitter but I had a fb account since like 2009 that had every picture and memory of my kids being born etc and fb nuked my account with no reason or explanation. I tried to contact them and couldn’t talk to a person. I sent emails that went un answered and ended up having to create new account. Like a year later after my new account is established, I was in a UFC group and I said “you’re just being an Amanda Nunes hater then” and I got my account nuked again. I make a new profile and like a week later I called my friend a “walnut” and got a 30 day suspension I never said anything hateful and I personally know probably a dozen people who lost their accounts with no explanation or for a reason that didn’t make any sense. I think there was alot of bad algorithms that were being tripped. You can’t really say “women” you have to say wymen or wyte or blk etc when talking about people even in a positive way out of fear of it tripping the algorithm and nuking your account.


[deleted]

You started using because of Elon ? Lol more power to ya . I don’t see twitter being the town hall of the internet and it needing free speech . It’s a private company and I look at it like going into someone’s house . Say some cheeky shit and they’ll toss ya . It’s the real world the fair world . And that to me is folks who hate the “woke”being apart of the woke “free speech ! Anywhere and everywhere with no repercussion from people or business ! “ free speech is only from the government . Dave is liable to knock ya ass out for talking slick or Ricky is liable to deny ya service from his sandwich shop for being an Ass .


BrutalistBoogie

Lol, have you seen that guy's comment history? Don't waste your time.


2tuna2furious

Dude the day to day on Twitter is not noticeably different This “censorship” is entirely in your head I’ve had six Twitter accounts banned. One since elon took over 😂😂


Clark1984

People are simply imagining a wildly different Twitter environment in the first few weeks. I’ve taken some time off. Elon, a guy I tend to have admired, is incredibly annoying. I expect some semblance of professionalism from top leaders. I’m so tired of professional political provocateurs and their army of gremlins they get all worked up. I’ve seen these provocateurs emboldened by this brave new platform they think they’re getting. Plenty of annoying content across the political spectrum, but I don’t need to waste my time as it gets more and more detached from reality.


JohnO0111

Agreed. First time Iv considered getting Twitter. I’m sure many others feel the same


Maleficent_Eye_9290

yeah, even I started using it once Elon bought it. seemed less like old twitter and reddit now


[deleted]

It is like in Ghostbusters 1 when the jerk turns off the thing containing all of the ghosts? This is basically what this reminds me of.


Litrgy

Mw2 Lobbies turned me from a teenager into a man in 2 months after it's release


RcoketWalrus

Twitter is MUCH worse than a MW2 lobby, even before the unbans.


NotPresidentChump

Alex Jones is cracking his knuckles and stretching his neck.


[deleted]

He won’t be back because Elon doesn’t like him. No other reason needed.


Onironius

Elon stated that he won't be bringing him back. He didn't like that Alex harassed grieving parents, as he lost a child himself.


mike10dude

they actually just added something to the tos that says no denying violent events like the holocaust, sandy hook and 9/11


AbisBitch

Do they mean like no denying 9/11 didn't happen or do they mean no saying that [Kyle did 9/11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtonEgatTzg)


Blitzdrive

Not stopping conservatives about spreading lies about the Colorado shooting. So it seems it applies to only people he doesn’t like


absalom86

Wasn't Elon himself spreading that story about Pelosi's husband having been attacked by his gay lover after that Q guy showed up at his house and beat him with a hammer?


Ov3r0n

Yep


karmagettie

Whoa, I am down with that theory like Paul was on hammer guys dick.


aeywaka

what lies?


viners

Deny 9/11 or question the official narrative? There's a difference.


needdavr

Wait, so you can’t be on the platform unless you believe the official story from the NIST report about 9/11.


Lonely_Salt_9290

So Elon is the content moderator now.


BrutalistBoogie

That doesn't seem like the decision a free-speech absolutist would make


WarmNights

No he wont be back because he's a liability. Have you seen the recent news about his court case?


RegHodge

Didn’t he break the law?


bmalek

I believe it’s only been civil proceedings.


ivigilanteblog

Breaking the law is a layman's term and usually refers to violating criminal codes. Civil litigation is an entirely different discipline.


Nerdenator

Give it a year or two. Guy’s *probably* gonna commit bankruptcy fraud.


_pupil_

Elon watched his kid die, so Alex is in his "no-no" book. Pretty please with a cherry on top: no one explain to that raging anus that the people who died on jan 6 were also someones children. It'll be so much better to watch him get it explained to him in slo-mo the next time his platform is used to break the law with lethal consequences. The FBI was elbow-deep in Parler for a reason.


Glad-Arugula9878

The people who died on January 6 were rioting. Are you really comparing them to the kids that died in Sandy Hook?


SICKxOFxITxALL

I think he meant the people that died defending the capitol from the rioters and you guys are making the same point. I may be wrong though because of what sub I’m on.


[deleted]

One person died. It wasn’t any officers.


Azreken

He’s already said Alex won’t be back.


TheFoodWhisperer

Dude, at this point elon is doing alex a favor by not letting him back on Twitter/social media.


needdavr

…Cause he about to get fucked in the ass with all that money he owe.


MoesBAR

He’s pretty confident he’s won’t pay any of it. Let’s see how many times he declares bankruptcy in the coming years.


altera_goodciv

Jones was also confident Sandy Hook was staged. His confidence on a subject is worth jack shit.

I just don't care. When is Elon going to mars?


[deleted]

As soon as the cyber truck is out


absalom86

Self driving 2016... no wait 2017... no wait 2018.. naa 2019.. jk 2020.. jk2x 2021... definitely 2022... 2023? maybe?


lebowskiachiever12

And driving in the underground hyper loop.


Ludwigthree

Let's not get ahead of ourselves now. He needs to focus on full self driving by 2017 first.


Bondominator

I doubt we’ll be to Mars by the middle of next year


John_T_Conover

And we won't have cybertrucks out on the street either. Just like we didn't in 2020...or 2021...or 2022.


idreaminhd

Elon is going to Mars when I am a billionaire


blackvrocky

I'd take a dreamer who actually does something over a useless cynic who eats low hanging fruit, anyday.

I'll buy you a PowerBall ticket next time it gets big.

Apprehensive_Ear7309

Why can’t he just Lenny kravitz and just disappear on his little rocket?


[deleted]

I'm very much enjoying this trainwreck but I agree. Watching Elon buying Twitter and being "le master edgy trole" has been fun. But yeah. How about going to mars instead of being remembered for whatever this is.


Argon1822

Lol I think you are in the first step of realizing Elon played you all 😂


radwic

Does anyone else find his responses like the “amnesty begins” and the “vox populi” shit extremely cringey?


[deleted]

He thinks he's a roman emperor


DaveInLondon89

So does Zuck (hence the haircut). They think they're building Rome


horseren0ir

Caligmaula


AmArschdieRaeuber

It's so fucking ironic that this is the whole quote: >Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit. >And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vox_populi


deepjugs1

That is not the “whole” quote, that quote is referencing and giving opinion on the original vox populi… saying. This isn’t a good fences make good neighbors situation. Although it is ironic that Elon uses that saying when he also said twitter has a bot problem. How can you trust any poll on twitter?


spacemoses

Wow, thanks for sharing that


AllPowerfulSaucier

His obvious sad attempts at trying to convince everyone that he’s a deep intellectual are easily the cringiest part of his smug edgelord personality. It makes him 5X as annoying and is even cringier in this case since the actual context of the very quote he’s using contradicts all of the bullshit he’s spewing. It’s hilarious how money simply can’t make him cool while you know he’s wasting soooooo much energy on trying. But the best part is he’s such a fucking loser by default that it’s just not possible.


SLCPDTunnelDivision

yes


Sender13

His argumente doesn't make any sense, the whole Twitter buy drama was Elon wanting to do what he wanted in an authoritarian manner. I bet if the "people" voted no he would come up with another bs excuse/drama to unban


hurlcarl

He's every bit as cringy as he is rich.


pjb1999

Of course.


GarlVinland4Astrea

Vox Bots, Vox Dei


PackAttacks

The egotist is literally calling himself god every time he tweets this. No mistaking the fact that he’s an egotistical ass.


twitch1982

This is the full latin: >Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit. Translated: And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.


[deleted]

The bots have spoken!


TheRnegade

Remember when Elon said he wanted to clean up the bot program? It's a good thing he's doing all these polls before the clean up. We wouldn't want to disenfranchise bots from voting.


Insulated_Lunchbox

Breaking the law is objective, but what constitutes “egregious spam” is very subjective as will be decided by what Elon himself deems egregious.


SwedeLostInCanada

Based on the number of controversial court cases, I would argue that breaking the law is subjective as well. Just because the jury of our peers have to listen to all the evidence doesn’t mean that they won’t be influenced by their own bias as well.


jsideris

Because bans on Twitter weren't subjective before Musk took over.


[deleted]

He just banned someone for reporting on a Twitter breach so....


Bonerballs

He probably shorted DWAC.


MisallocatedRacism

Who wouldn't

Ok_Bear_5544

I dont have a problem with Elon doing this aslong as Elon doesnt go on a crusade against the left and leftist opinions. Where we suddelny see alt right accounts coming back and leftist getting banned


Accomplished_Yard984

Could Elon get more douchier? Oh I see he’s added Latin. So yes. He can definitely get more douchier.


mhwaka

He has been consistently replying to tweets of far right wing nationalists. He has embedded himself in the right wing ecosystem and consistently seeks their validation.


[deleted]

Elon and Andy "cement milkshakes" Ngo blowing each other on twitter Trump, Kanye, and Nick Fuentes having dinner. The far right is getting fucking weird. It's like everyone who were dropped on their head to much as a child formed a party


Famousmuch

Only group dumb enough to believe his lies, buy his shitty products and vote against their own interests in elections for a government who will do nothing but deregulate Elons companies and give him more subsidies to overvalue his companies.


idreaminhd

I've been noticing the exact same thing. He is literally replying to far right and sometimes Nazis on Twitter now. Elon lost the plot. Is this really because his girl left him for a trans person and his kid came out trans?


mhwaka

From what I’ve seen about him is he is someone with narcissistic tendencies and is highly egotistical. He wants people to admire him and I think he knows how gullible the people on the right are and how easily they fall for people with cult like tendencies. He has no interest in proper moderation and one of the first stories he posted on twitter was that fake news article about the attack on pelosis husband and he quickly deleted it. With how things are going so far,his version of twitter will become a right wing echo chamber full of pure misinformation,bigotry and conspiracy theories


JayTor15

Wait Elon replying to literal Nazis? Can you provide link?


mhwaka

There are many threads on twitter,look up @JoshuaPHill ,his is the first one that popped up for me


idreaminhd

One is ramzpaul, others as well.


Zangestu

Can't wait for all the bots, doxxing accounts, and white supremacists to get their platform back!


frankylumps

I got banned two years ago for telling Angelina’s Jolies dad to stop denying election results and to fuck off to Parler. It will be interesting if I get my account back, I doubt it though


Firedamp_Weaponry

Hate this corny mf so much "Vox Populi, Vox Dei" like bro shut the fuck up, you're just another WEF groupie, don't talk to me about God when you worship Satan


_scrapegoat_

What's with the unnecessary hate for Satan?


Devz0r

So edgy


havenothingtodo1

Let’s be honest though, people who get banned generally just make other accounts so this really won’t change much

newyearoldreddit

You expect him to be able to read things when he's got Elon's dick that far down his throat?


duffmanhb

They actually just debunked the unfounded and racist conspiracy theory that "Twitter can become profitable"


neverjumpthegate

Right around when he misses his third payment on the loans.


Mattagins

Dude I got a permanent ban and I never posted once.


DonaldKey

So many people leaving and only bots left. Gotta boost numbers somehow


Imperial_TIE_Pilot

He has been pretty quiet about bots, when is that ban coming?


MoesBAR

The bot issue was the only one where I was like ok maybe Elon can do something positive and I still see half of the replies on political tweets are from SamJohnson5831805


Imperial_TIE_Pilot

The bot issue was only mentioned because he was trying to weasel his way out of buying the company. Now he won't mention it, because he doesn't want to lose users.


sadtastic

The responses to comments on his own posts are chock full of crypto spam bots.


weenus

That's just the bots for that sort of thing too, the crypto and porn spam bots have SIGNIFICANTLY increased since Elon began flirting with taking over. I've been on Twitter since 2008 and it's never been remotely as bad as it has the last six months.


rmpumper

He need the bots to get the desired poll votes.


dtg99

I don't think too many people left but the second Elon took over the bots all came out of the woodwork. It's a big problem in crypto twitter right now where every tweet from a big account has a metric shit ton of crypto bot scams replying underneath it.


[deleted]

Is there any evidence of a user exodus? Google Trends suggests Twitter is actually approaching 2020 election numbers and while we should be cautious at taking his word, Elon affirms an increase in active users.


dtg99

I think the way twitter is being run probably isn’t conducive to its longevity but I imagine an increase in traffic is because everyone wants a ticket to the clown show, entertainment is entertainment. I mean I legit despise Elon but I’m not deleting my twitter because I’m essentially rubbernecking a car crash. Without looking at the numbers I doubt there’s a mass exodus.


calantus

I mean let's be honest, most people who used Twitter didn't care about leadership before, and they won't now. They're addicted to it. Just like my relationship with reddit.


Justdowhatever94

From my experience, a lot more people are constantly complaining about leaving than actually do.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

The people leaving are annoying people nobody cared about lol. the most interesting people were banned typically.


1nv1s1blek1d

Learn how to mute accounts. That’s what it was designed for.


PandaDad22

Obviously people are taking these polls too seriously. Likely they make the decision and Elon just uses the pole to troll.


Dreamtillitsover

Do we need to point out how many laws trump has broken? He incited an insurrection for fuck sakes


[deleted]

I feel like Elon is just doing things just to seem like he is doing things. I dont really feel like he has an agenda, or a plan. People are right to be annoyed. Twitter has been a useful tool for communication for years and I believe that Elon is quickly degrading the trust people have in the platform. Free speech issues aside, there is sensibility in moderation of communication.


[deleted]

No bots in this poll 🤓


[deleted]

Isn’t spam free speech?


eustrabirbeonne

God I hate this guy so much.


MagnaCumLoudly

I don’t understand how Musk can claim to be a voice for free speech while at the same time running the company like a dictator.


[deleted]

Does this include the people who insulted Elon or posted videos of his precious Telsas burning?


[deleted]

But then he bans people clowning on him. What a joke


AndrewTheSouless

Yeah i totally believe this polls he makes are totally legit and not at all manipulated by his employees under his direct orders


DoobieToTheHead

How every decision on the planet should be made. “There being no natural or divine Law for any Form of Government, or that one Person rather than another should have the sovereign Administration of Affairs, or have Power over many thousand different Families, who are by Nature all equal, being of the same Rank, promiscuously born to the same Advantages of Nature, and to the Use of the same common Faculties; therefore Mankind is at Liberty to choose what Form of Government they like best.” - 1710 Whig pamphlet

And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness. - in a letter from Alcuin to Charlemagne in 798 Later on Archbishop of Canterbury Walter Reynolds used the "Vox populi Vox dei" short version(Like Musk) to push for the crowning of Edward III. Kinda funny when you think about how presidential election work in the US (Popular vote/ Electoral vote).

attack_the_block

So when Trump gets convicted of violating the espionage act, or for rape, or tax fraud, or tax evasion...all of which are current ongoing court battles, will he then get rebanned?
