I know two things. I really like to be right about stuff and if we’re going by the usual tests a majority of people are going to be near average intelligence.

So I’m most likely average and real smug about it.

I’m going door to door trying to gather pledges from all technology subscribers.

Will YOU downvote all Musk posts in this community until people post them in their proper place (c/enoughmuskspam)?

Funny…. But I don’t see this as a good use of advertising.

You’re not swaying anyone visiting the site, and may instead be invigorating R voters.

Oh no thanks, with the release of Ahsoka I’m filled up on fantasy for a while

Could you link to said reputable polls? Just for the sake of being thorough

Good. Here’s hoping for a swift trial.

Uhh, what the hell is this article talking about? His approval has remained steady with both Republicans and all Americans, and even saw a small uptick recently..

Sounds like they’re still operating under 2020 and 2022 logic. Biden is pretty widely disliked nowadays outside his own party and 2024 should in no way be viewed as an easy Dem win.

I’m not sure Chumba Casino really cares what their ad ends up next to tbh

Think your links might be broken?

I like how Knowing Better went from “general history” to the “slavery and cults” guy. Dude has found his calling.

Love FTL- one of the most unique takes on rogue-lites I’ve ever seen.

Nothing was more frustrating than trying to win hard with Stealth C

Very pertinent to my current field- lots of version control issues where I work that containerizing could solve more elegantly.

I’ll check out the videos and see if I can learn something!

This is extremely cute content, wow

Wait this is incredible.

I don’t even know how to hold a hammer correctly let alone solder a chip, but I might have to try a new hobby.

Be your own favorite small time creator and plug away!

I’ve recently started to go through the videos from jauwn. Really funny dives into terrible NFT games and their communities.

“Fake” from the side of data load, sure, I can see that, but there’s plenty of interest in trying to stave off the “dead internet” by incorporating new systems where bots and AI generated content aren’t profitable. That’s more what I was referring to.

I remember in the early days of the Musk takeover he was mocked for talking about introducing microtransactions using Dogecoin as a way to combat bots and scraping. And it was good he was mocked, because crypto was a stupid as fuck idea for about a thousand different reasons. It’s interesting to read how a lot of people here support the idea of automatically sending a fraction of a cent to a website for each post to discourage bots and support smaller servers though.

With how prevalent the AI and data scraping conversation has become, I wonder what the view of Musk’s Twitter would be if he had stuck with that original plan instead of selling meaningless blue check marks. Probably still extremely negative, since a system like that would kill engagement overnight without SEO pumping tweets anyway… but an interesting thought experiment.

Not like the monetization scheme of blue check marks even ranks in the top 10 of terrible Musk decisions at this point. Seems like the dude is just constantly making and reversing poor choices.
