Musk resigns as Twitter CEO, Linda Yaccarino takes over

Most people who threatened to quit Twitter for Mastodon haven't left

Lmao. I'm not surprised in the slightest.

Well, I'm not on Mastodon either. Or on Twitter, for that matter.

Don’t care. I left Twitter in early October. Twitter, like other social media is addictive, and famous people rely on it. I have no desire to ever go back on that side, not when the owner is a sociopath. I don’t trust Elon Musk with my private data. Fuck, I wouldn’t trust Elon Musk with my favorite bic lighter.

That's because there's a well-established inverse correlation between announcing one's departure and actually departing, a phenomenon hardly unique to Twitter. The louder the "I'M LEAVING!", the less likely leaving actually becomes. Also applies to Facebook, Tumblr, and Nationstates. We're not seeing all the quiet quitters, the ones who just silently slipped away inactive into the night. Plus the rampant bot accounts further muddying the stats.

Somewhat relevant to the thread, Musk just got booed by thousands of people at the end of a Chappelle gig.

Twitter user James Yu, who said he was at the Chappelle show, tweeted: “A good 80% of the stadium boos. 18k people.”

Elon says they were actually saying Boo-urns.

Musk has since deleted the Tweets where he explained that actually almost everyone was cheering for him, and then a fight broke out in the audience before he could say anything. The man is fully a corncob and yet somehow continues to shrink and transform.

Musk has dissolved the Trust and Safety Council, which was formed in 2016 to advise Twitter on hate speech, child exploitation, suicide, self-harm and other problems on the platform.

This man is a massive clown. Is he at least hinting at a replacement team?

There's no way that the bird app is staying the play store if it's filled with self-harm videos and child abusers.

So all that talk about fighting CSAM was all bullshit.

I feel personally attacked.

Also holy fuck did I actually write like that…?

Yours was the first one I found when I went digging for a sample. ^^; And no worries, if stuff you wrote more than a decade ago makes you cringe, that just means you've had character growth since then!

Musk has dissolved the Trust and Safety Council, which was formed in 2016 to advise Twitter on hate speech, child exploitation, suicide, self-harm and other problems on the platform.

Who wants to bet he's dissolving it because in the aftermath of the resignations there was actually no one working in the Trust and Safety Council anymore on the twitter side because they were the first people who quit? Or at least if they hadn't quit, had simply refused to do their jobs because they're not going to bother to try if their boss clearly doesn't give a fuck?

That came on the same day that three council members announced they were resigning in a public statement posted on Twitter that said that “contrary to claims by Elon Musk, the safety and wellbeing of Twitter’s users are on the decline.”

Yep.

Also on Monday, it was reported that Twitter’s former top safety official, Yoel Roth, was forced to flee his home amid escalating personal attacks, including from Musk himself.

Outlets including the Washington Post and CNN reported on Monday that Roth and his family fled after Musk’s tweets misrepresented Roth’s academic writing about sexual activity and children.

So now the question becomes what did he tell Elon couldn’t actually be done? Given Elons propensity to throw out accusations of pedophilia against anyone who questions him.

I scanned over it and didn’t see a problem other than it being mighty boring, but I didn’t look too deeply.

So it’s another case of Elon hurling accusations of pedophilia at anyone who criticised him again?

Probably. Like I said, I didn’t look to deeply. I’m crowd sourcing the research as I have a long day ahead.

EDIT: Musk's original tweet.

The part where Musk posted as "proof" of Roth's pedophilia is actually him arguing for more safety measures for underage teenagers on social networks, since they are increasingly participating in those LGBTQ dating sites. Musk lied, and his lie is causing danger for a man.

He's dissolving it because they were counterproductive to the role of content moderation, finding reasons to ban people under pressure from rogue employees, while preventing action on actual illegal content, even when reported by victim.

Calling someone a pedo is unfortunately going the same way as calling someone a commie. Instead of the term being used correctly, it's becoming just another insult or put down commonly used to smear one's opponents.

It's pretty sad, as such a development only helps real pedophiles and other predators fall through the cracks.

I see someone hasn't been paying attention to the Twitter Files. We always knew this was happening, you included. Now we just have receipts, so you can't pretend to be ignorant anymore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter_Files
