Why people cannot see that the core problem of twitter is not that it got bought by the asshole billionaire. It's that the asshole billionaire was able to buy it.

Twitter facilitated exactly what Elon set out to do with it.

Let's replace one proprietary service with another. It looks so good with its API wide open, like it's never getting enshittified.

It’s obvious to me that we need to have laws to enforce portability of data and interoperability for large platforms.

It needs A) same functionality B) ban all forms of racism, especially Zionism and C) refuse investment from undemocratic nations like GCC or China

That’s not going to happen here. Am I the only one who watched Trumps speech claiming to be about 1A? He is coming for social media day 1, to reinforce Elon Musk, not only on Twitter, but all other large social media platforms (he doesn’t name FB and Reddit, but he’s talking about FB and Reddit, maybe as far down as Lemmy, BlueSky & Mastadon too, idk).

He says he’s going to mobilize “my Department of Justice” to do it.

He specifically says: making account removal/banning only possible via court order, removing moderation, and removing any labels of misinformation or disinformation.

He’s already threatening YouTube with removal of section 230, if they moderate content.

Why is no one talking about this?

yeah I don't think a usa based platform is really "long gaming" the fee speech problem. Bluesky now shifting to monetization plans. Its a matter of time until some rich dildo buys it up. If were lucky it will be mark cuban or somebody buts its still grim prospects.

"Fee speech" is a serendipitous typo. Or maybe you meant it. First I've heard it, anyway.
