Never had one to start with. Not FB either. In fact, if you call this (DP) social media, this is all I have ever belonged to. I have no use nor any time for the others.So who'll be the first to delete their Twitter account?Bwuahahahaha
Right now, leaders from all over the world use twitter, journalists, police, people on the street reporting breaking news, everyone who's anyone uses twitter. It's super busy with the Russia/Ukraine war. Twitter is the world's bulletin board. It will be interesting to see if official type accounts want to continue posting there if it becomes a free for all. I don't think Musk is stupid enough to let it become a sewer. No matter how rich he is, 43 billion is a lot of cash and he's going to want it to stay popular with as many as possible. Maybe he will change some of the TOS, but I really doubt it will be a free for all.This has managed to peg a solid "Meh" on my personal Give-A-Shit-Ometer. At best Twitter is simply another social that is used to sling shit at people. No different than Facebook or DP. I saw no reason to ban Trump or anyone else for simply being assholes but that was the board's choice. Putting Trump back on Twitter does nothing but make his insanity more visible. I'm all for it. I want people to see what a shitty human being he is. And how equally shitty his followers are.
What I do find funny is that with a stroke of a pen on sale day Musk will be far far closer to a no-holds-barred social platform than Truth Social ever got. Time to add that stinking corpse to the long list of Trump business failures.
And what is DeathSantis doing to Disney in Florida. Screwing them because they don't agree with his political horse shit. It's do as I say, not as I do. I sure hope voters are paying attention.People like Ted Cruz love to be on Twitter bitching about Twitter. I don't get it.
Twitter had a huge impact on the last election and was fundamental in getting Biden elected by suppressing information. That won't happen in the coming election if this sale goes through.They wont. They still have 98% of the market with many media sites and social media. Twitter is just one place. And most of american isnt on it. More people get their news directly from MSM.
This is a game changer. The left will lose control of the narrative which is something they desperately need to perpetuate their Marxism in America agenda and in fact an integral part of it.

Trump was kicked off twitter because his speech was adding gasoline to a fire at the time, but 800 arrests have calmed folks down some. It probably wouldn't matter if he were back. However, he says he's not interested in twitter anymore. If it goes private, Trump might change his mind, but it will surely be the end of Truth Social if he does.
The Hunter story was banned by Twitter as fake news.Won't be a need for Truth Social with a non biased Twitter
You should have seen your medical professional by this point………So who'll be the first to delete their Twitter account?Bwuahahahaha
Only in your own mind, my friend. It's you people who were giddy about the possibility. I don't give a shit about Twitter.
What are the escape hatches?
This is a game changer. The left will lose control of the narrative which is something they desperately need to perpetuate their Marxism in America agenda and in fact an integral part of it.
Intersting how the left is obsessed with Trump being allowed back on Twitter. The overriding issue is non censored for political reasons free speech not Trump. TDS is rampant.
Trumpists never explained how "the left" could simultaneously be (1) so overwhelmingly powerful, intelligent, and strategically-minded that they can dominate every institution and business that exists so as to victimize Trumpists, and (2) so impossibly stupid, incompetent, and "sleepy" that they never accomplish anything ever.
Could you please explain the idiocy behind this vast librul conspiracy you're always on about? Until you can make sense of that, I don't see any reason to consider the even dumber possibility that "the left" saw the future and created twitter so as to ban Trump fourteen years later, thereby "controlling the narrative".
In fact, I don't think there's any point pondering the sheer idiocy of your pretending that Twitter is the only place in which a narrative can be had, or your pretending that the absence of Trump in a given space means that "the left" controls it.
Again, you gotta first explain how "the left" can be as stupid as you claim, but also could have managed to control everything right down to Twitter.

Oh joy! Now we can look forward to unverified candidate oppo/mud slinging from highly suspicious sources. I'll bet you bitched about the dossier, didn't you? The Hunter Biden laptop is no different. Let's just live in a fantasy world of our own making and base important real world decisions on them, like voting. Super.Twitter had a huge impact on the last election and was fundamental in getting Biden elected by suppressing information. That won't happen in the coming election if this sale goes through.

The Hunter laptop was brought to us shortly before the election by this guy:

Well that was a rude condesending post. Why are you trying to start a flame war in this thread I wonder?
I find it laughable that so many frail hand wringing liberals are in absolute fear that Donald Trump may have access to Twitter again. That his words can upset the frail infantile sensibilities and cause "the sky to fall" LOL.
Poor liberals, they may have their insecurity blanket ripped from their hands. LOL
Interesting that people think Trump is the only person who was banned from Twitter for "misinformation." A cousin of mine was banned for daring to say that her choice to transition to male was a mistake. It was deemed misinformation. How can one's personal truth be deemed misinformation? It didn't fit the Twitter agenda.Well that was a rude condesending post. Why are you trying to start a flame war in this thread I wonder?

Great news for freedom of speech
Lets hope he delivers on free speech absolutism. I can finally rejoin. #trustbutverify
I never said Trump was the only one banned. There have been scientists banned who have bona fide credentials who have dared to challenge some of the climate data who have been banned. Which is laughable to me that some Twitter moderator, probably some 20 year old going to college for a humanties degree, is able to pull the plug on anyone else just based on their feelings being upset.Interesting that people think Trump is the only person who was banned from Twitter for "misinformation."
You are making my point. Twitter and Facebook will arbitrarily censor whatever they FEEL is not in step with their narrative. Any truth deemed to be inconvenient will be stricken.A cousin of mine was banned for daring to say that her choice to transition to male was a mistake. It was deemed misinformation. How can one's personal truth be deemed misinformation? It didn't fit the Twitter agenda.
I'd forgotten that story. I think you're right.Yeah, well you’ll all be crying if and when Musk either doesn’t let trump back on Twitter, or kicks him back off of it.
Which is inevitable since Trump can’t resist biting the hand that feeds him.
I remember when his act used to inevitably contain an idiotic fable about a snake. He was describing himself, of course. But the knuckledraggers never got it.
Twitter had a huge impact on the last election and was fundamental in getting Biden elected by suppressing information. That won't happen in the coming election if this sale goes through.
I never tuned into Twitter anyway. Not anything Tump posted, or anyone else. Don't care. Twitter is NOT a place anybody with half a brain would go to for news in the first place.Yeah, well you’ll all be crying if and when Musk either doesn’t let trump back on Twitter, or kicks him back off of it.

Yeah, that's never happened til now.Now we can decide for ourselves what is and isn't fake news.
