Sub currently has an ad for the new Mario game on it. I don't think it's moderated
belongs in the oligarch sub imo
It was already posted there imo
When NPR left twitter they found it had a minimal effect on their traffic.
I wonder if EM realises that letting news outlets know how little influence his toy has will work out the way he expects.
I wonder if advertisers will wake up and realize it too.
Man-baby continues to act like baby; world shocked.
Do we really need this in Technology community? Is there a way we can put this stuff as against the rules?
Yeah, I have no idea what this has to do with tech.
Ask the mods to make Muskrat posts against the rules. I see nothing wrong with posting it here and EMS.
It's not that it's about Musk, the post just isn't technology related, it's just a petty drama on some site
Pretty much everything twitter/X related was and is going to be nothing but petty drama on some site with overreacting toxic people.
I agree.
NYT should just abandon it like NPR did when they were labeled as "state media". NPR recently said it had near zero impact on their site traffic.
I would love this
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has removed the gold “verified” badge from the New York Times’ account amid ongoing complaints about the news organization from X owner Elon Musk.
The move further extends Musk’s attempts to use the social media company he bought with claims of defending free speech to undercut news organizations he dislikes.
In April, after Musk bought the company for $44 billion, X ended its years-old system of giving badges to politicians, journalists and other public figures whose identity it had verified.
After The Post reported on the delay, X removed it for the Times without explanation but kept it in place for other X competitors, including Facebook, Instagram, Substack and Bluesky, according to a technical analysis from the news outlet The Markup.
That steep drop outpaces an industry-wide slowdown in referrals to top news sites from X and Facebook this year, according to industry data from the analytics firm Similarweb first reported by Axios.
In the months since Musk bought X, the social media site has cut back on content moderation, suspended journalists, reinstated neo-Nazis and threatened to file defamation lawsuits against critics such as the Anti-Defamation League.
