Elon wants to be the only dim one in the room

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Well, that's easy, he can just walk into literally any room.

Maintaining existing CSS is hard. Luckily, usurping all of social media as an "everything app" will be trivial by comparison.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Step 1: Fire 80% of your programmers

Step 2: Promise new features including getting into banking and ecommerce and literally doing "everything"

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit(?)

Seems like step 3 might involve stopping doing even the basics of keeping your existing client base happy.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Elon has clearly shown that I can trust him with my finances. I am excited to turn all my personal data and money over to his excellently designed software and highly ethical company. What could go wrong?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

In step 3 is “lose 50% of your advertisers” and “completely destroy a well known brand that’s made its way into common nomenclature” among others

Step 3 is using chatGTP to break.. I mean to build your site

Don't they use tailwindcss at twitter? Must be easier to remove dim mode

[-] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago

Anyone actually cares at this point?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Nope. Quit the bird site when he went full asshat. Barely used the bird site before but it was helpful for breaking news in the olden days. Other than potential A11Y legal action if it fails for contrast issues, I don't think anyone should care about this stupid site now. The tech community has moved on.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Who doesn't like going to see a circus?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I'm guessing that no one here does. If you're on Lemmy, you're probably also using Mastodon instead of Twitter.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I wish people were far more willing to just move on when the winds were changing, instead of sticking out for.. god knows what reason

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

You clearly haven't tasted the bottom of billionaire shoes.

Elon: "I'm going to delete this thing."

Everyone else: "NO! Why would you do that kind of thing?"

Elon: "O-o-okay! B-b-but I'm going to delete something today! That other thing, then!"

(Elon continues to read the hypothetical The Best Of Dilbert's Pointy-Haired Boss book and gets so many ideas, folks)

[-] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago

I’ve learned more about Twitter/Ten coming to Lemmy then I ever have anywhere else. I’m amazing so many people care about it.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

it’s not a Roman numeral it’s actually called X as in the letter

..or, actually, 𝕏

[-] DeusHircus 6 points 11 months ago

Woooosh. We all know what it's supposed to be called. Anyone calling it Ten is doing it purposefully to further sabotage the already self-sabotaged brand of Twitter/Ten

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

God this wooosh shit is annoying you didnt see the other 2 comments first? can we leave that on Reddit?

I thought changes were going to be voted on.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago
[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

That gimmick lasted all of a day or two until Elon decided democracy was cringe when Twitter voted to oust him.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

I wish it would all just die and fade into obscurity, at this point. Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads all exist. There’s literally no need for xbirdsite anymore.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Threads needs to go too. In fact all sites that want to steal/sell all your data and control the whole world do.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

There’s literally no need for xbirdsite anymore.

  1. Almost no one I follow on twitter is on those other sites
  2. Almost none of the people that follow me are on those other sites
[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Well that needs to change now doesn't it?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, but you can't make them move, can you. People are like birds flocking, they want their communities, and until people start to move organically they won't go. You can talk to them all you like about how it's better and how it's not scary, but nobody's going to go anywhere that doesn't have the content they want.

Twitter's going save money by hosting their website on Geocities. The new plan only comes with 250mb of storage and that dancing baby gif is like 3mb easy. Gotta clean up somewhere.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

I literally don't care

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Imo so he can bring it back as part of the paid features, the dude is looking for ways to make money in literally everything

[-] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

And he's so shit at it, especially on Twitter. Let's not forget about the dumb idiot going full fash and chasing a significant amount of advertisers away, I'm sure that helps his financial situation a lot.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

You mean pay for a CSS re-skin? To enable light mode??

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yes, that seems to be the plan.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I mean, he kinda wants to make 40 billion dollars back… he ought to try to nickel and dime every single user

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

My guy elron is the one that's dim...

Fuck twitter and fuck big tech

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

He doesn't like competition, especially at being fucking dim.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

What is he going to Musk up next?

Where the fuck does he get these ideas? Is this a popular opinion?
