Yeah sure, sign me the fuck up. Lol

I try not to speak in absolutes. But if you volunteer for this, you are absolutely not right in the head.

Elon Musk's Neuralink killed 1,500 animals in four years; Now under trial for animal cruelty: Report

Neuralink, founded in 2016, is working on a brain implant to restore movement to the paralyzed and treat other neurological disorders.

Über unseren Account @heiseonline auf #Mastodon kommen seit Wochen mindestens so viele Leute auf heise.de, wie über unseren Account auf #Twitter.

Das hab ich ja schon ein paar mal erläutert, aber da war ein wichtiger Teil geschätzt. Jetzt habe ich eine neue Zahl, die diese Annahme klar untermauert. Und zwar war unser Account auf Twitter seit Dienstag und bis vorhin weitgehend verstummt (nein, es war wohl unsere Schuld und nicht die von #ElonMusk).

We didn't ! We were just ... lazy ? I suppose ?
I wouldn't know I wasn't born then. See democracy is cumbersome and the idea of minority protection is counterintuitive. But in some character trait or the other we're all minorities ! And the only way to protect us is through solidarity with one another.

Als #Twitter noch Mitarbeiter:innen hatte, stemmte sich der betroffene Bereich wirklich mit aller Macht gegen solche Zensuranfragen.

Ich weiss nicht wer sich noch dran erinnern kann, aber Erdogan hatte deshalb 2014 Twitter in der Tuerkei geblockt! Die Nummer ging das bis vor das oberste Gericht... Resultat: Twitter wurde wieder freigeschaltet.

Unter #ElonMusk werden kurz vor der Wahl mal eben die oppositionellen Konten eingeschraenkt.

"What #Wikipedia did: we stood strong for our principles and fought to the Supreme Court of #Turkey and won. This is what it means to treat #freedom of expression as a principle rather than a slogan."

“Texas is just a really terrible place for construction workers to do their job."

#ElonMusk has picked a new CEO for Twitter

Remember when he was stepping down?

#Twitter

It really doesn't make any sense. It's a feature no one asked for, no one needs on twitter, and doesn't address the horrific problems with the platform in general (mostly made by #elonmusk embarrassing handling of things).

Clowns all the way down.

How to Build (And Destroy) a #SocialNetwork

Status means everything to platforms like #Twitter and Facebook. But contrary to what #ElonMusk thinks, it doesn’t come from a #BlueCheckmark.

"#TwitterBlue may be boneheaded as a revenue scheme, but it excels as a case study in how grappling for status can ruin a social network."

A fun update on Often Wrong's complete failure: paid Twitter.

* Only 640k of Twitter's ~220-230 million users are paying for it.
* Over half of of the people originally paying for it have cancelled.
* 291k Elon SIMPs have less than 1,000 followers.
* 107k have fewer than 100.
* ~3300 have none at all.
