They should join Mastodon to get away from Elon’s narcissism.
On the flip side, hopefully this news story pushes more people away from X
I can’t imagine anyone being pushed by anything if they weren’t pushed away until now
Mastodon lacks full-text search, which kills the main reason that Twitter appealed to me, the real-time-updated full-text index.
Elon Musk doesn’t have NPD. And accusing people of being disabled is not an epic burn. It’s only an insult if you think disabled people are worth less than neurotypicals. Sensible people don’t hate the disabled, so calling him a n*rcissist isn’t an insult.
Calling him neurotypical is a bigger insult. Because it implies that all of his weirdness is a choice.
Calling him a narcissist isn’t really an insult either way. It’s just a fact about him. The dude only cares about himself.

-
Excessive preoccupation with or admiration of oneself. synonym: conceit. Similar: conceit

A personality disorder characterized by self-preoccupation, need for admiration, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem.
They said ‘his narcissism’ They made no diagnostic qualification.
Ie. Displaying narcissism and being a narcissist and having a narcissistic personality disorder are all different things with different definitions which can be applied in different ways.
Never thought I’d see the day where he censored a bunch of white dudes but here we are.
Yeah how is this feller making sense of this in his own head? I can hardly believe I once thought this guy had love in his heart.
I’ve heard Musk referred to as a piss baby moreso than other dickheads in the public eye.
Is there some story I’ve missed out on, or is it just a generic insult that’s somehow stuck to Musk more than it has to others?
Well his own speech is absolutely free. I’m pretty sure that’s what he meant.
Not to mention that one of the first things he did upon taking ownership of Twitter was to game the entire thing so his own tweets get the most attention on the site.
Honestly, I think that White Dudes for Harris should sue the platform for an illegal contribution to the Trump campaign. It is by definition a media platform and by denying the account they’ve clearly crossed a line.
I will forever victim-blame these folks.
this would be awesome for c/enoughmuskspam
The ban lasted 2 hours and 45 minutes. Id guess it was triggered by so many people suddenly joining the account. Musk ain’t great but the hyper sensitivity around him is getting weird.
What a coincidence, a strong liberal fundraising account getting banned just as Musk promises to donate $45mil/month to the Trump campaign and complains about the “woke mind virus.” I’m sure you can point to similar conservative accounts getting banned and staying banned for several hours right?
Except that no reason for the ban was given. If the ban was due to a sudden uptick in followers, why wasn’t that reason sent along with the ban? And then there is the timing which coincided with the fundraiser. All of this on top of Musk publicly declaring his endorsement of Trump and the promise of finding his campaign. Too many “coincidences” are a clear indication of intent.
