Watch out for the old switcheroo when you try to “own the Libs”
So maybe we all just move over to bluesky, and leave musky with the bird.
Truth social is toast.

Is this just an ad for bluesky?
newcirclehero
Nope I don’t work at any social media.
burpwind
Couldn't be fucked with Twitter, probably won't bother with this either.
OutboardOverlord
Uh, no thanks.
TheFunionKnight
All those fired Twitter workers waltzing over to new jobs with their big golden parachutes

I mean, it’ll just be yet another cesspool.

Fly free as a bird in Bluesky.
Skizzlesnap
OR MAYBE hear me out. Don’t jump to the new one. Just delete Twitter and enjoy the silence. Social media is cancer.
ReaperCDN
I mean I'm going as soon as it's up. Twitter has already descended. No matter how many times I filter out the trash it's just inundated /1
jursamaj
All the social media suffer that. They've realized, algorithmically if not consciously, that feeding the users certain things makes more $.

Anybody else read that as blusky instead of blue-sky?

This dorsey kind of a wank too? But... at least he's not musky.

Mastodon is touted as an alternative in German circles.

HOW...did musk NOT see that coming?
ourari
Musk knew, cuz Dorsey told him. https://www.cnet.com/news/social-media/what-twitter-co-founder-jack-dorsey-told-elon-musk-in-private-texts
Groetgaffel
Uh yeah, Dorsey is a known a white supremacist so you know... Calibrate your expectations.
j0lt78
I don't even use Twitter, and I'd sign up for this. Billionaires have been fucking around too long. Time for them to find out!
imeanYUUUGE
If you didn’t use twitter, don’t use this.
j0lt78
Oh, I doubt I'll use it, I just think the idea of thumbing my nose at ol' Musky is funny.
ourari
Dorsey is a billionaire, and is kind-of friends with Musk. If you want something billionaire-free, try Mastodon.

Imagine if everyone moved off Twitter and it goes under and Musk loses all that money he paid for it and gets nothing... LOL

I was completely unaware that Peter Dinklage ever owned twitter /s

Lol, that look. He knew what he was doing a very long time ago.

So did Musk, cuz Dorsey told him. https://www.cnet.com/news/social-media/what-twitter-co-founder-jack-dorsey-told-elon-musk-in-private-texts

what is his plan for the proliferation of far right hate speech on his platform? Because given the havoc social media platforms have -

usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
So apparently Musky forgot the 'no compete' clause in his contract? Poor lil' Musky.
mrthewhitee
Dorsey was long gone by the time Musk even made an offer let alone took control.
ourari
Dorsey & Musk talked about this. https://www.cnet.com/news/social-media/what-twitter-co-founder-jack-dorsey-told-elon-musk-in-private-texts
Leucienweaver
Oh, and usually Noncompete clauses specify if you quit on your own terms. Termination/downsizing exempts you from them (Usually)
kruug
Twitter is in California. California states non-compete clauses are non-enforceable. Even if he signed one, it couldn't be legally enforced.
AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
This is wildly out-of-context. California non-compete clauses *for employees* are non-enforceable *by the employee's company*. Buyouts? OK.
AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
The point of this was so that Jimmy Johns can't keep you from using your "insider knowledge" of sandwich art at Subway for 2 years.
SleeperXib
While I appreciate this in the context, this should be somewhat concerning for California business owners.
kruug
No. Poaching clients and such is still illegal, but non-compete clauses are bullshit.
jursamaj
What counts as illegal 'poaching'? Why can't customers choose who they want to work with?
kruug
If they can prove you reached out and convinced a client to move, that's poaching.
EmceeLiquidConfidence
It’s not very concerning, you can switch teams but you can’t bring the playbook. You can take the skills, but not the clients I gave you.
EmceeLiquidConfidence
Also non enforceable really means hard to enforce, which means burden of proof is heavy and hard evidence of damages aren’t likely.
MoonMoon89
I put my email in, let's see what is up. I'm off facebook, I'm off twitter. Still have imgur and discord.
ourari
Better off trying Mastodon instead. No billionaires (like Dorsey) involved, no single ownership, open source, and you can even host your own
greenpixel
This feels like it's mostly just Discord? What am I missing?
ourari
It's more twitter/tumblr-like. It's not centralized; anyone can run a server, can't be bought by billionaires. No ads/tracking. No algorithm
BlairT1
Cancelled my twitter account, cancelled my Tesla reservation. It ain’t much, but it’s honest work…
Jamesstin
Lol you didn't have a reservation
BlairT1
ORLY? I’ve been holding a Cybertruck reservation since it came out, tell me again what you know…
waeraj
The new Kia and Hyundai is better anyway. I'd get a Polestar personally.

If it helps, I gave you a fake internet point for your troubles

Just off Twitter when I heard he wanted to buy it, lurker for sure and still, nope

In favor of another electric vehicle, I hope? Musk is a bitch, but his companies are still doing good work.
CannotBeBanned
Are they though? Much of what he does is overhyped and lower end
JadeNB1729
The end may be good, but the Musk-y means are shit for pretty much everyone.

I have a CT reservation and also a Silverado EV res. The Tesla is just going to be a tough lump to swallow…
Fireninja404
eh, EVs are redundant if your power grid is fueled by coal. I'd rather walkable cities and good public transportation
ThomasThundersword
not just redundant, but generally more harmful, unless you are otherwise replacing your car, or its very old and inefficient. the carbon>
ThomasThundersword
cost of manufacturing is massive. obviously if you *need* a new car anyway an EV is better, but on a FF grid, it’s just shifting the >
ThomasThundersword
emissions. ofc as the grid improves, you will already be on a EV so that still is good. like Oregon and Washington which are at over>
Wack3d
Huge Powerplants are much more efficient at making energy then your personal ICE. Running an EV off a coal fired plant makes less pollution
JacarandaTree36
In countries like Finland where electricity is like 90 % renewable or nuclear and distances are long, EVs are right now the best option. 1/2
JacarandaTree36
Ofc in cities public transport, decent biking lanes and walkable areas are absolutely necessary. 2/2
caustickiwii
That's a great response to the nonexistent comment in which I said that electric vehicles are the best possible solution to climate change.

Dorsey is much less of a bellend than Musk, but still a bellend.

the more shiny of two diarrhea piles, certainly
ToSisPoS
A low bar but a bar nonetheless.
Solongandthanksforalltheusernames
Can someone explain to my friend what a "bellend" is?
ManOCheese
The head of a penis. Bell end.

Are you British if not, its weird to use that term. Youre literally talking about penis heads in public

What? There are hundreds of body part based insults that get used every day. It's not weird at all.

Sure but it simply sounds off if it aint a british person using it. But im talking to a bunch of Teabos so this conversation won't go well

Ironic that you’d credit an American band with an English band’s song while saying they suck. I’m guessing you just don’t know any better.

squelcheswetly
So if you’re British it’s more acceptable to talk about penis heads? Go finger your own ass.

Im saying that some words should stay apart of certain culture's vernacular. Copying it not only sounds bad but it comes off pretentious af

Yes! Mastodon (microblog like twitter/tumblr), Pixelfed (insta), PeerTube (video), Owncast (livestream), Bookwyrm (like Goodreads)

And the cool thing is, you can make an account on one of these, and follow people on all the others, because they all use the same protocol.

ManOCheese
He's another "bOtH SidEs" libertarian schmuck like Musk. He supported Musk's purchase of Twitter back in April. He's just a quieter twat.
TheN8
Of course he supported it. If someone wanted to buy the rusted hunk of scrap on my drive for Ferrari money, I'd support them too...
AlcoholicsAnonymousBYO
Oh shit he's not one of those utopia crypto bros is he?
ManOCheese
He sold his first Tweet for millions and it was worthless a week later. The only reason people like Dorsey and Musk don't go full right-wing
ManOCheese
Is that they aren't religious enough to be bigots. They do, however, have no sympathy or empathy at all. 'philanthropy' is tax avoidance.
