Reddit isnt real life. Most people dont have strong feelings (of hatred) towards Elon Musk, he is just another rich dude.

Also Mastadon and Bluesky are extremely ghey.

[-]

Starbonius@reddit

Nah, Elon is political poison. He even has like -38 in polling among never-die MAGAs. Nobody likes musk. Especially not Elon's Musk

[-]

I won't lie, I was a pretty big Elon fan for a while because I liked that he tried new things even if it failed (cybertruck). Then he tweeted the thing about Trump and Epstein and that really put me off because it meant he knew Trump went to the island and said nothing until he needed leverage.

[-]

Chicken_wingspan@reddit

That's what put you off? Amazing

[-]

SlayBoredom@reddit

every day I understand more how Trump won...

Well I don't understand it, but seeing how dense people are, it makes sense at least.

Chicken_wingspan@reddit

Absolutely it does. We are fucked my friend. Democracy is for grifters, and we do get loads of it in Politics.

[-]

Zeiqix@reddit

Glad you didn't lie. I bet you don't remember when he called that british diver a pedo because he wouldn't entertain Musk's submarine publicity stunt to save those ketamine kids. Dude was always a freak and you'll always be a retard.

[-]

LeyendaV@reddit

Half of the US maybe hates him. The other half, plus the rest of the world, doesn't give a damn about it.

[-]

Mama_Mega@reddit

I love Elon, because he did irreparable damage to the shithole that is Twitter.

[-]

Capital_Drummer8397@reddit

Twitter is back to the valuation Elon bought it at which even at the time was considered overpriced. Youre totally wrong here. Also X being unmoderated finally provides an actual platform for conservatives without getting immediately banned. Half the country can finally speak their minds in an open forum thats not 4chan

[-]

reddit_has_fallenoff@reddit

Thats the narrative redditors certainly like to push. As if Twitter wasnt a over censored leftoid run dumpster fire before he bought it. It was essentially run by reddit mods before his purchase.

Also, Twitter is back to its original evaluation before he bought it.

[-]

Mama_Mega@reddit

It was a dumpster fire, but it was a thriving dumpster fire. It deserves its slow, agonizing death.

[-]

Skafandra206@reddit

It was not a thriving dumpster fire. It was an overmoderated mental illness echo chamber and bot farm.

[-]

Starbonius@reddit

Now its an undermoderated mental illness echo chamber and bot farm.

[-]

reddit_has_fallenoff@reddit

Reddit is that, but with censorship on the humans

[-]

Aguacatedeaire__@reddit

The bot issue has been fixed, and it has more users and more interactions that it ever had.

[-]

Starbonius@reddit

Do you actually beleive that?

[-]

Skafandra206@reddit

And that's the best kind of site. At least you don't get banned when sharing your crazy takes. And people can shit on you without fearing being banned too.

[-]

Starbonius@reddit

The problem there is hate fosters insanely quickly when there's no one with a spray bottle to keep it at bay. Remember that child that a bunch of degenerates spat on the grave of a couple weeks ago because they disagreed with her political views and got offended by her jokes?

[-]

Skafandra206@reddit

I'd argue it's the opposite. If you overwhelmingly ban one side, as it's usually the case with this types of platforms (see Twitch, for example) you actually encourage the hate growth of that "flavour" of hate. Having two sides telling each other how stupid their extreme ideas are is the best situation to control that. You only need to ban when the user is doing actually illegal stuff.

Now, this doesn't take into account the advertisers' pressure of keeping the content one way or the other to keep it "advertiser friendly".

[-]

Starbonius@reddit

Im glad we can both agree that corporate interests are vile

reddit_has_fallenoff@reddit

It still has more active monthly users than plebbit

ThirstyOutward@reddit

It's valuation

[-]

3_T_SCROAT@reddit

I kind of wish he would do the same to reddit tbh i got banned from like 5 subs at once by a power mod because i made an abortion joke. They even unironicly called me a nazi

Unrelated to that, this place quickly became heavily censored and ran by bots and astroturfing and a handful of terminally online mods.

Would be pretty funny if he bought it and made it more open like how it used to be while everyone is crying and pissing and shitting their pants

[-]

reddit_has_fallenoff@reddit

They would all claim they are migrating to bluesky or mastadon, and mon of them will.

[-]

kojimbob@reddit

What damage? It's better than ever.

[-]

Aguacatedeaire__@reddit

What a cope lmao, the only damage he did was changing its name to X. Still he has more users than ever, and people are going absolutely wild on there, saying whatever they want and making people like you raging off to bluesky, the tiny social media for pedophiles and groomers.

[-]

Capital_Drummer8397@reddit

I liked him until the H1B crashout thing and now I hate him lol

[-]

NeverFraudulentAgain@reddit

Only third worlders like him at this point

[-]

kojimbob@reddit

Saaaaar give me H-2B visa please saar

[-]

SlayBoredom@reddit

Thats not true. All the boomers I know think he is a cunt. He is quite Mainstream.

[-]

almostasenpai@reddit

Different case for me. Everyone in my family hates him save for my MAGA uncle who thinks he’s just an eccentric billionaire. I do live in a blue state though.

[-]

NewLifeInAfghanistan@reddit

Yeah that must be why tesla sales fell off a cliff in the last few months, because no one knows or cares about him.

[-]

reddit_has_fallenoff@reddit

you guys are gonna get him this time!

[-]

NewLifeInAfghanistan@reddit

Bro I'm not out to get him, I'm just contesting your ludicrous assertion that no one cares, when there is a direct correlation between Tesla sales and Elon's descent into a turbo edgelord

[-]

And_Justice@reddit

Most people I know irl do have string feelings of hatred towards him - don't get too sucked into the contrianism of thinking reddit is the opposite of real life. We fucking hate the guy in the UK.

I'm guessing you also think Nazis aren't that bad.

Oh they are bad, i just think people like you are worse

[-]

vicefox@reddit

Although I don’t like the blatant racism, the direction Twitter was going in before Musk was frightening. It was becoming increasingly authoritarian and controlling of various narratives. It was becoming this arbiter of truth but ruled by a small group of media twiteratti.

LostInAnotherGalaxy@reddit

Legit I got banned from the Grateful Dead sub for telling someone that they shouldn’t scream and cry about a right wing enjoyer of the dead who’s on twitter in a completely unrelated to politics threads. The user was literally calling for his death and said people like him should be shot. (For literally nothing other than tweeting about right wing stuff, and he’s not even a tad extreme)

I tried to plead with the mods and they permabanned me for arguing with them. Just absolutely LOSERS. Moderation should be kept to a minimum not a maximum, but only against right wingers.

[-]

Free-Design-8329@reddit

You can report those mcretards to the admins since calling for violence is a sitewide issue and mentally unhinged liberals love calling for violence

[-]

LostInAnotherGalaxy@reddit

Yeah his comment got deleted, but then mods arrived at my deleted comment and banned me. As if I were in a zero tolerance for bullying school

[-]

reddit_has_fallenoff@reddit

I got perma banned from the raves subreddit because I responded to a post where a guy asks if Trumps stance on Ukraine will affect the rave industry. I said obviously it will not, and the rave industry will be just fine.

[-]

okglue@reddit

Overmoderation turns sites into circle jerking echo chambers. Big agree.

[-]

kaduceus@reddit

I’ve been banned from so many subs for stating nothing other than a differing opinion. Reddit is a curated echo chamber much like how twitter used to be. If you were an unsuspecting passerby and read the website you would be under the impression 99% of the world thought that way. And many people would be swayed to agree with that opinion because “well that’s what everyone believes so I should too!”

[-]

GooseMcGooseFace@reddit

I’ve been banned from subreddits for commenting in a different subreddit.

[-]

SabreToothSandHopper@reddit

Idk it’s a balance like all things in life. Undermoderation just turns communities into slop troughs

There’s a subreddit I joined called ‘are slash’ bossfight which I thought was a cool idea, like a dog holding a hammer irl, then people make up stats as if it’s an elden ring boss, pretty fun idea

But the mods just allow any kind of low effort twitter screenshot/meme anything that isn’t a boss, is barely related at all. Mods don’t seem to care at all, and everything on that sub now is just random crap

[-]

77enc@reddit

all big subs go to shit but thats a separate issue from reddit mods not being able to tell a difference between removing low quality content and playing thought police as soon as they see something they mildly disagree with, killing any chance of having multiple viewpoints coexist on the same subreddit.

or rather the subreddits that dont have this issue get banned by reddit because the admins are even worse in this regard.

[-]

theycallmeponcho@reddit

I've seen a number of subreddits that have started banning links to the x platform. It's pretty clear that reddit is going to have to have a come to Jesus moment about moderation or it's going to die. Something will happen and another great exodus will happen. This site has already lost the vast majority of it's culture since I started coming here over a decade ago. The only people left are the terminally online and the emotionally disturbed and I'm both of those things.

[-]

Aguacatedeaire__@reddit

Something will happen and another great exodus will happen.

Can you stop repeating that lie after more than 10 years? No other site will come.

There's been thousands of reddit alternative, literally no one succeeded.

Elon didn't build a Twitter alternative, he bought Twitter and fixed its code and kicked out the moderators.

It cost him 40 billions or something like that.

[-]

CeliacPhiliac@reddit

The only Reddit alternative I can think of that has actually succeeded is Dread, and that’s just because the stuff they talk about isn’t allowed on Reddit anymore and people still needed a place tor all about that stuff.

Mist of the sites like Voat barely got any users and became dead shortly after.

[-]

The_real_bandito@reddit

You lost me at fixed its code lol

[-]

BorinGaems@reddit

He also turned it into its own echo chamber.

Res_Novae17@reddit

[-]

TwilightSolitude@reddit

I'm honestly hopeful about the new Digg. Will be interesting to see what happens when it launches.

[-]

Mrsuperepicruler@reddit

Its the shear volume of bots. They are more than just used for profit, but as a political tool. Which is part why we move closer to the dead internet theory, causing the culture of the site to either be sanetised or parodied to death.

Most people don't really care about the minor faults of the site untill it incovieniences them. By which point most people are already engaged enough to not want to go elsewhere.

As for the remaining terminally online, you either learn to ignore it and come to subs like this one or just leave the site for another. But there are so few doing so at any given time, not enough for an exodous.

[-]

Tripleberst@reddit

Yep. Word has it that Alexis and Kevin Rose are resurrecting Digg in an attempt to make a social media site without the bots or gay as hell mods.

[-]

ObjectBrilliant7592@reddit

X/Twitter was part of the first generation of text-based social media, that was based on the first mover advantage and not quality.

Twitter's concept/mechanics are also kind of shit and designed to spread witty quips through retweets, not encourage actual discussion. As shit as plebbit can be, at least you can actually discuss things.

Twitter isn't there because it's good, it's there because it was early, not terrible at what it was, and was never mismanaged enough to fall on its face (yet still mismanaged enough to never really flourish or seriously challenge the top social media platforms).

[-]

Hawt_Dawg_II@reddit

how do they do it?

They bought one of the biggest platform in existance right near it's user peak. A lot of people already had a twitter account so a lot of people aren't gonna bother switching anymore. "X" has genuinely done nothing to improve the app, it's just that people don't care enough to switch.

[-]

Bricc_Enjoyer@reddit

"X" has genuinely done nothing to improve the app, it's just that people don't care enough to switch.

Dont care about the app but they improved it being onesided political bullshit and bans which go one side. They also got rid of a lot of bots. Both positive aspects.

[-]

Hawt_Dawg_II@reddit

Lmao you litterally still get permabanned over certain opinions on x and most of the comment sections on the trending posts are filled with bots.

They made the verified system into a purchasable badge, ruining any form of actual verification that was originally achieved with that concept. This means that not only are there more bots now, some of them are even verified.

And they just flipped the political bias the other direction, this is pretty obvious if you look at it objectively, i mean fuck, musk is still banning people if they hurt his feelings and he has actually banned some subjects from even being discussed in general.

If you really think X is less biased than twitter was it's just because you're not on there enough or you just agree with musk's way of thinking. Because it has, by no means, become less one sided.

[-]

Bricc_Enjoyer@reddit

Okay your points are valid, and I agree that musk is a baby and bans people who are mean to him, but they're not related what you said before.

You said they did "NOTHING" to improve it. Stopping the onesided political bullshit that also bans you is a lot.

If YOU really think the new twitter is less biased than the old one, it's because you have some weird stuff over your eyes. Or you weren't there enough to see people get banned for wrongthink before.

[-]

Hawt_Dawg_II@reddit

I can admit he changed things, he just didn't improve it.

He flipped the old twitter ways of banning "conspiracy theorists" and hard right points to now banning lgbt mentions and liberal talking points, that's not an improvement, just a side change.

Sure people are getting banned less than before (i think, I'm not sure), but he's gone to different strategies. Now that he's basically made the platform about paying for exposure, it's only gotten less "fair" to where most tweets that aren't either about supported subjects or from supported accounts don't even see the light of day anymore.

It's because X is basically a normier 4chan where people will tell you what they really think. Whether it's insanely stupid (and therefore funny) or 300 IQ. The problem with the other sites is that they are ideologically captured and if you say anything interesting the tattletales come.

Twitter is shit but it's still less terrible than Threads or BlueSky. I've briefly used some mastodon instances in the past but it's just too narrow band.

StealYour20Dollars@reddit

It comes preinstalled on your phone and still has a long cultural cache to burn through even if Elon is a shitbag.

Zeus1131@reddit

Musk used to own the domain x.com and used that idea to destroy one of the worst websites in existence. Bravo

reddit_has_fallenoff@reddit

Redditoids pretending like Twitter was so much better before Elon bought it and was a smooth running ship.

Before Elon bought it, twitter was a massive bot farm + egregious censorship. Now its a massive bot farm, but with mild censorship. The later is better than the former

Bricc_Enjoyer@reddit

Before elon it used to be a zoo of keeping insane people who supported one poltiical spectrum, while banning the other side. Like reddit. After elon it was a zoo of keeping both sides, while banning barely anyone. As it should be

Yes

Low censorship mostly.

Exactly how Elon has always done it! Via overpaying for an already existing company!

Twitter has a much lower character limit.

Skafandra206@reddit

People used threads further than installing it on release and opening it maybe 2 times?

SuperSocialMan@reddit

I'm surprised too, damn.

SuperSocialMan@reddit

I just don't like the general UI/X of copycat sites, and the majority of people I follow aren't on the other sites.

Res_Novae17@reddit

Same way everyone hates reddit and we all keep using it. Intertia and user base.

[-]

Alkeryn@reddit

Very little moderation. That's it.

[-]

DraugrDraugr@reddit

I actually like X now it's not moderated to fuck. Feels like actual truthful opinions. Yea there some toxic and spam shit, but the not interested and quick block functions work pretty well. It's not as contrarian, psy-oped or childish as 4chan

Meanwhile Reddit is an absolute cess pit and the subs can't stop devolving into off topic politics and toxic shit. It's over moderated to fuck and anyone with an opinion different from a moderator gets nuked out of any discussion. So the moderation is just suppressing opinions and solving nothing. If it weren't for the porn Reddit would be dead

Bluesky is just ultra lefty moderated Twitter again with all the above problems of X and Reddit combined

[-]

lolretkj@reddit

People at the end of the day just don't give a fuck.

They use Twitter because they're used to it and can't be bothered swapping.

My quality of life went up like 15% when I stopped going on that shitty app.

[-]

Real-Terminal@reddit

Momentum, everyone is on there, the alternatives aren't worth moving, so like Facebook, unless they make the site borderline unusable it'll stick around on momentum alone.

[-]

FuckAllYourHonour@reddit

All of these lame platforms attract the most hilarious people - people who want to say whatever they feel, but don't feel like they have to suffer others doing the same.

If I was in control of these platforms, I'd be encouraging this infighting even more. Just keep the outrage going and watch all these losers argue it out for absolutely nothing.

[-]

Moses_On_A_Motorbike@reddit

Sadly, I think Elon and reddit admins know this business model.

[-]

FuckAllYourHonour@reddit

Yeah, it's fantastic. You now exactly to find all the wankers in the World who think their opinion matters - they sign up to lame shit like X with their real names, just so everyone can know what they think about something (usually) completely inconsequential.

Their endless whining keeps these companies afloat. News outlets even report the trends and "issues" as important news. You couldn't even have made this shit up when I was a kid.

[-]

jackedcatman@reddit

I like twitter because when I get blocked by famous people I know they read my critical posts. It’s kinda crazy how easy it is to reach niche intellectuals and media people and call them slurs.

[-]

TheIronGnat@reddit

Nah, they have social media reps.

spencerAF@reddit

One of the dumbest threads I've ever seen. Certainly today.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/02/business/elon-musk-twitter-x-fidelity

New Twitter down an estimated 80%.

hoW Do ThEY dO iT?? -> Like it's some kind of fucking accomplishment. Be less fucking dumb please. Holy fuck.

[-]

LordMimsyPorpington@reddit

Because when everyone was moving to Threads, Mosseri acted like an idiotic dick and told all the important political figures and intelligentsia to go fuck themselves. So they moved to Bluesky and it killed all the momentum to abandon Twitter since too many people were scattered across multiple apps.

[-]

Legends-Cape@reddit

Bergen_is_here@reddit

Bluesky is the most corpo half-baked website I have ever seen.

They will ban all forms of fun, and then half of the site will go down for a week.

Still it’s somehow still a reasonable alternative to “X, The everything app”
