The ongoing Elon Twitter saga: "insert demographic" melts down

I know that, you know that, so it just makes me laugh when Roar asserts "You couldn't pay me to post in SC" ;)

Just the usual level of guff the guy spouts.

Look at his post in the Trump thread from GD the other day when people were talking about corruption in Trumps tenure and someone mentioned Jared, and Roars dismissive response was "Okay? His son in law lol" But talk about Bidens corruption and he's all "bUt HuNtEr BiDeNs LaPtOp" lol
 
Of course Roar won't post in SC anymore as it requires substantiation of assertion and you can't post NPC memes, so he'd be right out of his depth

No he wouldn't, he'd just be inundated with trite wokeness from a self aggrandising bunch who see the answer to the world's ills as yet more multiculturalism and even more supplication to their wildly ill conceived liberal agendas.

Any strong fight back against their opinions is likely to be met by a ban, probably because the moderators see confining them to one area with the heady title of Speaker's Corner to sate their vanity gives them an easier overall job. Or maybe they agree with the member's political and idealogical agendas, but don't want any challenges made?

What it actually requires is not assertion of anything but your agreement with the huge majority who have now made it an echo chamber.

You keep clear Mr. Roar, you'd be wasting your time with them :)
 
"Bingo!"

Amazing, in one Chris go we have all the usual guff distilled down to one whining post containing :

Multiculturalism
Liberal agendas
Idealogical agendas
Echo chamber

and the usual huge dollop of right wing victimhood <LOL> :cry:

And the best bit the brains of britain advises Roar with is "You keep clear Mr. Roar, you'd be wasting your time with them :)" when he is talking freely every day....to the same people....<clown face> :p
 
You couldn't pay me to post in SC, I hit reply and GordyR has written War and Peace, I have 50 notifications straw manning everything I've said, and people are accusing me of secretly being a racist. I'd rather have 0 post count increase in GD than be forced into that hellhole.

That is because you post things like that Biden is a pedo all the while defending Trump and saying the women that have accused him of sexual assault were either asking for it by being in his presence or lying gold diggers. When you then get called out on it you run away.

The "Big Guy" is a perfect example. Where is your outrage at Trump family members taking $b from working in his administration? His son in law receiving a massive investment by Qatar while working in the WH and then shortly after Trump flip flopped his policy towards Qatar from supporting Saudi, Bahrain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, to inviting the Qatari Emir to the WH and calling him "friend of mine". Then telling Saudi and her allies to drop the embargo against Qatar. Hunter never worked a day in the US government. Jared Kushner did.

Anyway there are plenty of threads in GD where one opinion will be massively outnumbered by another opinion. That is threads that discuss politics/current affairs/cultural for you.

You know you've been told not to discuss Trump on about 20 occasions but yet you keep making posts like this because you're absolutely desperate to argue. Just stop replying to me about Trump, I'm not interested. I already know your opinions on everything without you typing a word, I can just go to reddit and read the top comment on anything and it'll also be your opinion.

Are you going to report me to the mods and get them to slap my wrist like you asked them to do last week?

If Biden can be discussed I see no reason why Trump can't be discussed? The fact you will talk about one happily and won't the other says it all.

Wow the most popular posts on Reddit agree with me :D

Haha what a circus eh? Although the mods should know that you're not as easily fooled as others, surely they're juggling enough without needing to deal with this sort of joker on top?

My god.

Roar "I like Elon because he gives freedom speech online, and I think hearing posts you don't like should be allowed etc etc etc"

Roar "waaa mods please help me I don't like the words being said"

I now understand why he thinks we lie when we say the dislike for Elon is not due to trump having his twitter account back, because why would he believe us, as he lies about why he likes Elon. It's not about freedom of speech, differing opinions having a voice. Nothing about that at all.

I try to be succinct and not waffle on needlessly, or vaingloriously, I appreciate you noticing :)

How does anyone know it was roar? Unless the mods are now telling users who report them?

Maybe you should ask mods because they insist all Trump speak is kept to SC, not me. No idea which post you're crying about but I mostly report personal attacks unless the thread becomes a complete **** take which does happen fairly often.
 
<Thumbs nose and then puts thumbs inside lapels> Well, I have only ever reported one single post, and that was for genuinely altruistic reasons where I believed a post made in haste could upset the bereaved family of a forum member. I can take as well as give :)
 
Well no, posting in SC becomes a part time job if you don't agree with the hive mind because for every post you reply to you're hit with 7 replies. Go post in a forum where you're the minority opinion on any subject and get back to me.

Are you taking the ****? Every time I post in there I am barraged by the likes of you telling me that I am wrong to say Lucy Letby should have anonymity. If there's a hive-mind it's a right-wing, vaguely pro-Elon/Trump hive mind.

I have 3 total posts in that thread
 
Any way, let's all kiss and make up and get back to laughing at the poor billionaire Elon and his latest shenanigans.

Or even the billionaire zuck with his half assed attempt with threads. What a gift he was given and how poorly he is (currently) using that gift.
 
How is Threads actually doing?
It's still too early to be close to featured enough imo. I get why zuck jumped at the chance, as he clearly read the room which is that 150 odd million want to move to a better version of xitter/the old version of twitter, the sign ups were incredible, however, until ease of life features are there, no one is going to make the move.

However either way I feel we do win, in that Elon either now can't be as crazy with his decisions while there is a legit possible competitor, where as before twitter was the only twitter like site from a serious company, now it's not, so Elon may think twice before adding a last second stupid change, and if he doesn't and pushes people away, great we also win as we have alternatives to go to now.

Really imo threads should have come out closer to Christmas time. But I'm not zuck. They took the chance, got a load of users, made the news, everyone knows of them (thats a big battle to already have over come) and time will tell what happens. Strangely I feel the success of threads lies more in Elon's hands.

I feel the same. Threads will dominate because Elon goes over a certain important mass of users and at that point there is no coming back.

I do think it's not dumb to say Twitter will be another MySpace.
