I will agree with the sentiment that if Twitter goes away, I really won't care all that much.

If twitter goes away, I won't even know.


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

Now some Twitter employees are saying Twitter may break in a few days.

I don't think it will go away entirely, but it might have some lengthy outages at times. No real replacement has been launched yet.

Social media is a cancer... it's at the root of society's case of mental rot.
I always laugh when people post nonsense like this on a fucking INTERNET MESSAGE BOARD. Congrats on contributing to the cancer.

Being pro forced birth is more of a cancer and contributes to poverty.

And now Paramount Global has paused activity on Twitter, meaning CBS and other brands will not tweet for the time being. I wonder how this affects the new CBS News Detroit?

I would submit that if your news org's business model is dependent on a social media website, you probably don't have much of a news org or a business model to begin with.

I think all this speculation about the "demise" of twitter is a bit overblown. Musk purchased a cesspool and when cleaning up a cesspool, often things get worse before they get better.

Usually you don’t scare off the people who can keep it running. It’s probably going to collapse here in the next couple of months if that. The site is already bogging down and bugging out… there’s nobody around to fix it or keep up with the problems to the point Elon started begging the people to come back.

Would you care to edit or retract this missive now that The Great Orange is Twitting again?

Elon cut off his nose to spite his face. You don’t allow illegitimate people get check marks just for paying. The whole idea behind it was for public parties to get more publicity that they earned in their lives. And now, Elon will pay for it with fewer and fewer advertisers and soon it will go the way of Parlor, Locals etc.
