Twitter was the default way for any famous individual to address their fan base, and government agencies around the world to communicate to the public.

Train delays, road closures, states of emergency, it was all done through Twitter. They weren't spiralling anywhere.

Given how many social media companies have collapsed over the years because they made their service worse, and their user base migrated en masse to other platforms, I don't think it's inevitable at all. Senior execs will be well aware of the consequences of that type of behaviour.

Don't forget, Bluesky is rising out of the ashes of Twitter, which is a spectacular example of what not to do, and something shareholders will be terrified of.

You don't get to decide how language works.

It implies going from a bad situation to a worse one, and has from the moment it existed.

Twitter truly went to shit when Musk bought them, and I doubt anything quite like that will happen any time soon, especially considering the huge loss in value since the takeover.

So moving from a platform run by a far right, nazi saluting Jackass, to a platform that is building it's user base at X's expense is a step backwards?

Also, Bluesky is run mostly by former Twitter employees, so they know exactly what will happen if they follow in their footsteps.

In what way?

This is kinda what most countries do already.

I don't think anyone does. When people talk about freedom, they talk about being able to travel, do whatever they want in their spare time, say whatever they believe, buy a gun and a hummer, go BASE jumping.

That kinda stuff.

I've noticed most firearms channels steer well clear of politics, unless it's directly related to the topic at hand, I think partly to appeal to an international audience.

I do think the algorithm puts firearms and politics into very separate categories, someone watching Forgotten Weapons probably isn't going to be interested in political content.

It's a line from a very cheesy and kinda dumbmovie about street racing, talking about drag racing.

This dude consistently looks less human than AI generated images of him.

It's... Beautiful.

It's not an airport, no need to announce your departure.

People didn't listen to their commandments when the majority of people believed in them, it just gave them a reason to hate those that were different from them.

Overall, I've found people who aren't religious to be more open minded, and far more accepting of people different to them.

The next step should be replacing fear of damnation with fear of the guillotine.

And that's why he's all over Lemmy.

Lemmy loves to hate the guy, unfortunately.

Definitely has star wars vibes.

Singer, the sewing machine company, manufactured model 1911 pistols during the second World War, among other products.

Definitely not. There's a few aftermarket conversions that use hub motors, but the ones I've seen were on vehicles like Land Rovers with live axles.

They're baffled by steam, do you really expect them to use proper grammar?
