Why is anyone still on X? Got on Mastodon already and take your power back.

The media is busy fellating BlueSky as if Jack Dorsey isn't a giant pile of shit, too.

[–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm out of the loop on Dorsey, bring me back in the loop?

[–] EnchiladaHole@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Jack Dorsey is just Coca Cola to Elon Musks Pepsi.
A lot of us just want water; it's a lot cheaper and won't give you diabetes.

[–] dingus@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Dorsey is just as much of a fascist piece of shit as Musk. He supports the same things and still seems to think Musk is the only person who can "save" Twitter.

Jack has fully jumped on the Nostr bandwagon, so much so that he has deleted his Bluesky account (he did nothing but complain about the platform anyway).

"im taking away your banana sticker" 😤

This story keeps getting posted, as if the propaganda needs to be spread more. This was an automated system that was in place before musk which temporarily removed the blue check when you're profile changed, as a precaution against hacked accounts having a huge reach. UAW changed their profile picture when the strike was called. I'm pro strike and member of a union who is in solidarity with the strike action, but let's call facts as they are and not spread misinformation, even when it's for our side

Well elon musk can suck a fat one, so if this is proaganda I'll let it slide

And a colleague of mine recently praised Musk to me for bringing back free speech to twitter...

[–] ripcord@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Guarantee they will ignore or excuse this. Or claim it is fake news.

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Or just say some generic anti-union bullshit and ignore the actual speech issue.

[–] Cube6392@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Your colleague is a racist is my immediate take lol. Because THAT'S what elon brought back

[–] Kronlid@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wasnt this an automated thing cause they changed their profile pictures? Which happens to anyone with a checkmark that changes their picture.

Doesn't have to be in the policy to be automated

Will this be the fulcrum the NLRB uses to start figuratively throwing bricks through Musk's windows? Tune in next time and find out

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The move seemingly makes it harder for UAW to maximize reach for its posts on X, just as workers have begun striking, demanding better wages and other benefits.

UAW's negotiations also seek to expand benefits for union workers involved "in the production of electric vehicles and the batteries needed to power them," The Intercept reported, and those conversations could also impact Tesla operations.

Last year, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ordered Tesla to revise its policies "to make clear that it does not prohibit production associates from wearing black union shirts."

There was also tension earlier this year when Tesla Autopilot Buffalo-based workers tried to unionize, alleging that they were being treated "like robots" and pressured to skip bathroom breaks.

And most recently in April, the NLRB again ruled that Tesla violated labor laws when managers at an Orlando repair shop illegally silenced workers attempting to discuss pay and working conditions, Reuters reported.

In the moments after X reinstated UAW's verification, the union began posting in support of strikers in Ohio and Missouri, some of them chanting, "No justice, no jeeps!"


The original article contains 621 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I paid for the checkmark (for the year) and a couple of months later my account got suspended with no violation or violating tweet cited. No appeal.

[–] ripcord@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You are part of the problem

[–] transigence@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

It was a valuable learning experience.

[–] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dont pay billionaires.. lol

[–] transigence@kbin.social -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have no beef with billionaires. I buy licenses for Windows, and I order from Amazon. But some billionaires are better about keeping their end of the bargain than others.

[–] aeternum@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

no they're not. they would hang you out to dry for another million dollars.

[–] transigence@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd hang myself out to dry for a million dollars.

[–] MoshBit@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Boy you seem to apologize for them a lot
