This AI shithow butchered it. He actually said:

don’t depend on corporations to grant you rights. defend them yourself using freedom technology. (you’re on one)

He’s back to praising Musk. He is literally referring to Shitter as “freedom technology.” This guy can go die in a fucking ditch.

Pretty sure he left Bluesky because he was mad about them having a block feature. Basically when Musk turned a block into a mute, he turned tail from people actually trying to build a not-dogshit-product and ran back to his former dogshit product.

“Go die for using the social media platform I don’t like” doesn’t seem unreasonable at all.

Why are people still talking about the block feature? You can’t block people on decentralized platforms. Period.

What are you talking about? Blocking works just fine. Both on Lemmy and Twitter.

Honestly, with the unfathomable amount of money he was set the make from that deal, I dont blame him for doing it.

It’s a good message too, if you ignore who said it and why.

As bad as it is for the public, it was brilliant business move. Pre-Musk Twitter was barely making any net income (post-Must it makes ZERO net income). It was a profitable business, but just barely, and had been unprofitable for many years.

Goading Musk into committing to buy Twitter at the inflated high stock price allowed Twitter shareholders to cash out at a far higher value than they ever could have trying to run Twitter as a money making venture.

Keep in mind, I’m not saying we don’t all lose because Twitter is a shithole now, but from a purely (cutthroat) business perspective the sale was a boon.
