I’ll go first: r/kitty. One of the hundred grillion cat subs back on Reddit, the culture in this one was you posted a cat picture, and the only word allowed in the title or in any comments or replies was “Kitty.”
Someone is using that subreddit for covert communications, I just know it. Either on the level of “if u/PM_me_your_nostrils posts an orange cat, we attack at dawn!” or there’s some steganography going on with the pictures, but that subreddit was too stupid to be as active as it was.
Elon Musk is not an idiot. He was hired by other rich people like the Saudis to destroy Twitter, to prevent further incidents of public protest organization like what happened in Egypt and the Occupy movement. The degradation of the platform is intentional, and the amplification of right-wing voices helps to chase left-leaning social activists off of the platform. There is no equivalent platform for in-the-moment organization of protests.
If Cybertruck weren’t a thing, I might believe you.
This conspiracy can still be true, even if you assume Elon is an idiot.
Okay, my conspiracy is that this is a conspiracy by Elon so people think he’s an evil genius instead of the bumbling, idea-stealing moron with an inflated budget that he really is.
The only reason Bluesky isn’t more active is because it isn’t as active, which is becoming less of an issue by the day. And I STILL see activists gathering on twitter.
People who thinks musk, trump, putin etc are stupid are … stupid I guess.
They usually have mental problems like narcissism or psycopathy and lack all kind of feelings but stupid? No.
No, they can be all those things at the same time. Heck, it helps to be all three.
It was narcissism that made Musk want to buy twitter, but stupidity that made him think it would stop people from mocking him. And he came up with naming it X, so that’s more evidence.
The only reason the world didn’t realise he was an idiot sooner was because he had enough money to buy the ideas of smarter people.
You seriously think it bothers billionaires what you think about them?
I don’t.
I think everyone would rather be adored than mocked.
I don’t think money has any effect on it. Some billionaires are willing to keep to themselves and roll in their money pit. Some billionaires try to buy the white house and publish a book with their face on it. If they don’t care what people think, they’re wasting a lot of money on something they don’t care about.
Hubris is stupidity, and billionaires have a ton of hubris. Titanic sub, remember? Bet their lives on their hubris
Both can be true. He can be an idiot who got paid to destroy Twitter.
How is he getting paid though?
Or he was backed by some real dirt bags to keep Twitter afloat so the misinformation can continue unabated. Protesters can be easily found out. Humans trafficked. Etc.
If something looks, walks, barks and smells like a dog, chances are, it’s a dog.
The world is complicated enough as is, no need to make it more complicated.
But my dude, that is what conspiracy theories are for.
Fair.
