NEW: I spent a week in the tiny town the mysterious MAGA influencer Catturd calls home. People in Wewahitchka, Florida were stunned to learn they share a town with someone so famous. And I heard from the man himself, Phillip Buchanan https://www.dailydot.com/news/who-is-catturd/

I'm honestly so sick of this shit. Not only do I have to process more senseless mass death due to guns, I have to deal with disinformation blaming it on trans people.

Friendly reminder that conservative trolls WANT to be bullied on Bluesky. They thrive on the attention. They want to be trolled so they can go back to Twitter or write some dumb “thinkpiece” and say how Bluesky is filled with intolerant liberals. Don’t give them the satisfaction. Just block them.

Prioritising blue tick content has broken all of these. Most Twitter users barely tweet and don’t care about followers – a “heavy user” tweets on average less than three times a week. So if someone is posting regularly enough to be willing to pay $8 a month for a blue tick, but has not built up a sizeable following organically, this is a very strong signal that the posts they are producing are no good. It is exactly that content that Twitter’s new model relies on promoting – and those newly-minted blue ticks are quickly learning that there is no magic behind the checkmarks. New followers are not magically heading their way. The problem wasn’t a biased liberal algorithm, it was that their tweets are no good. That means lots of blue ticks stop paying – but everyone else is forced to read the low-quality content that the remaining blue ticks produce. This is what is powering the enshittification of Twitter.

A perfect summary of the enshitification of Twitter

CNBC article: It’s been just over seven months since Elon Musk closed his $44 billion purchase of Twitter, an investment that has so far been a giant money loser. Musk has dramatically downsized the company’s workforce and rolled back policies that restricted what kinds of content could circulate. In response, numerous brands suspended or decreased their advertising spending, as several civil rights groups have documented. Twitter, under Musk, is the fourth most-hated brand in the U.S., according to the 2023 Axios Harris reputation rankings. The controversy surrounding Musk’s control of Twitter continues to build. This week, Musk said that it’s not against Twitter’s terms of service to misgender trans people on the platform. He said doing so is merely “rude” but not illegal.” LGBTQ+ advocates and researchers dispute his position, claiming it invites bullying of trans people. On Friday, Musk encouraged his 141.8 million followers to watch a video, posted to Twitter, that was deemed t

When I send bomb threats to a department store because it sells rainbow merchandise, it's a boycott. When you refuse to broadcast my anti-transgender movie on your platform, it's a first amendment violation.
