The meltdowns and threats to move to Canada delete Twitter have begun.

We are back on the best timeline

they're already recommending mastodon for their new social media circlejerk bubble

If politics were still open I'd make a whole thread about the meltdowns from the cry babies. It's been fun to read.

Until they learn that’s what Truth Social is built on and then it’ll be a Nazi tool in their eyes.

Watch as all the folks who proclaimed they would leave the platform proceed to not leave the platform.

Elon Musk restored American space flight. Soon he’ll restore MEAN TWEETS. The screeching will be glorious.

Oh man I want some meltdown memes!

Bezos doesn't take the piss out the re types like elon does. They hate Bezos too but he doesn't point out their stupidity.

If Musk buys it I’m gonna film a TikTok from my car screaming “THEYRE KILLING US IN THE STREETS” then run around in circles making high pitched screams

I don't normally visit ree, but today I made an exception.

 

[Corpsepyre]

Don't really care who owns this as long as shitheads are handled properly. Twitter and Facebook were instrumental for the two years in spreading some really harmful misinfo, and we all know that's true. Some people can be idiots, and they'll follow whatever you stamp on their foreheads, and getting their news from these social sites is what they do, sadly.

Amazingly, my account hasn’t actually been banned yet lol. Probably because it’s an entirely different name. Wonder if I should change the banned part lol

Wow. This actually happening?

Musk gets Twitter for $44 billion, to cheers and fears of 'free speech' plan

Elon Musk clinched a deal to buy Twitter Inc for $44 billion cash on Monday in a transaction that will shift control of the social media platform populated by millions of users and global leaders to the world's richest person.

[LordCBH]

100% of the vocal people on Twitter right now(aka, like 5% of the user base)

 

[DeepEnigma]

If this goes through, and it should technically... there is a gold mine of posts early on in this thread.

1. Get rid of all the Russian troll accounts just on there to divide people.
2. All the blue hairs to scream “die, terf!” Migrate to another platform.
3. Can’t get kicked off for stating biological facts

Just those 3 things would improve it immensely.

The cringe invoked in some of the responses to this I've seen today is off the charts. Like this quote:

"I almost literally grew up on twitter. Time to lose another family member. Though even this one has been abusive for ages."

lol come on, how the hell is this business deal going to affect any single Twitter user personally? Get a goddamn grip on your lives people.

I hope this dude buys Discord next just for more meltdowns. That is probably the smarter buy over the long-term as that platform seems to just keep growing and growing but a boy can dream I guess.

They’ll be exposed to opinions different than theirs. For some that is traumatic.

 

[ManaByte]

The fact that this all started by the blue hairs at Twitter getting offended at a SATIRE site and banning it just makes it even better.

It's a performance. The more upset you are today, the more you stand against (insert the worst thing you can think of). That makes you really, really good! Don't you want to be a good person?

 

[LordCBH]

Step 1) Ban all the pedos and those who try to shift the recognition from pedo to MAP. Ban them all. Pedo defenders deserve no platform.

Step 2) Let the Bee back on the platform.

Step 3) Because I want true chaos mode, and because he didn’t do anything illegal with the platform, let Trumpy-Trump back on. I want to see true screaming from the usual crowd.

 

[ManaByte]

Lol they’re fleeing to Discords and a hackivist’s Mastodon instance.

Good riddance.
Next step they will begin tot cancel each other because they don’t pass the purity test.

Reeeeeeeeeeee.

 

[DragoonKain]

No one’s going to leave, theyre addicted, but I hope they do leave it would make the platform better.

What happens if you own stock and a company is sold and taken private? He's buying all the stock at an inflated value so everyone holding comes out ahead and that's it?

[thefool]

While I find the whole thing ludicrous (the valuation, elon interest and long-term prospects of any social platform), I also find the reaction to it quite funny.

fascists keep winning apparently

We should honestly ban Twitter as a source on Era after this goes through.

Just deleted my account in response to this. Oh well!

So just from a business standpoint, is this even a good investment for Elon? Or is it…

No need to waste your time faking it, we'll see hundreds genuine ones by the end of the week. Plus hair colouring can ruin your hair if not left to a professional.

 

[cormack12]

It's amazing how shit I don't really care about really provides so many lulz just because of the blue haired brigade.

Go Elon - I always loved you in small soldiers

"Musk is one of those people we’ll look back on in a few years and think “Man, we should have done more to stop that guy.” He's literally worse than hitler you guys.
