    I hope this takes off and people start using “tweet” and “twitter” again and it makes “x” completely irrelevant like his Hitler salute should have

    Edit: it cost $20 to join?! I’m out

      Well, they need something to pay the lawyers with once Musk takes notice.

      Edit: I’ve just discovered this interesting concept called “reading the article” and found out that they’ve already been sued, though it’s still not entirely settled.

        Jokes aside: I think it’s great that you read the article, then went back to both acknowledge that it covered your point and admit that you didn’t before.

      They probably need the money to pay for their AI-based “fact-checking”:

      A new and notable feature is the automated fact-checking tool, a Gemini-based “veracity engine for real-time analysis” (“Vera” for short), which runs on every tweet.

      Using a technology that’s known for making shit up, for fact-checking, is so dumb, but it will probably bring in investors because AI.

        Poop emoji - this has been fact checked but can not be independently verified due to lack of context

      Dude reread that post.

      “I hope this takes off and makes the Nazi platform irrelevent….but not for $20. I’m okay with Nazis for $20.”

        I hope that Mastodon takes off and makes the Nazi platform irrelevant. For free. Independently of corporate and investor goodwill.

          Same. I’m not calling you cheap. I’m pointing out that saying $20 to pop a Nazi’s balloon shouldn’t be an offensive ask.

            Yeah, everyone is outraged at being a product when using free services, but then also outraged at paid ones.

            I’m a bit suspicious of how they want to implement scoring, I feel like it’s either going to be gamed by users or rigged by owners, but otherwise it looks fine as an idea and as a replacement for xitter

        $20 isn’t just $20 in most countries around the world.
        For some it is more than they can make in a month. Tho those people probably never seen the Internet.
