Elon Musk just turned your DMs into an ad for Twitter Blue. But you can change it back. Here’s how.

    Because they’re locking a basic, essential functionality behind payment. Soon twitter will be for bootlickers, I mean, verified users only.

        The more they kick users out, the more biased towards Musk fans the feeds will be. I’d dare to say that a vast majority are American right-wingers. If they’re losing advertising revenue now, imagine when it starts looking exactly like Truth Social or Parler…

          I’m not really upset over that. If the major platforms become more polarized, I expect that things will get more decentralized over time, which isn’t a bad thing. If conservatives are more able and willing to spend money on online communication, then let them. Everyone has a right to spend their money as they see most fit.

          I’d dare to say that a vast majority are American right-wingers.

          By land mass and electoral representation… Maybe.

          But by sheer amount of people, no, it’s not even close.
