“Twitter Blue subscribers can now hide their checkmarks”

Elon managed to take the once-coveted blue check and turned it into something that’s embarrassing enough to warrant wanting to hide it 😂

They probably still get the engagement boost by putting their replies at the top. This is insidious. I’ve been blocking most blue checks but this might make Twitter unusable.

Ah, so like nazis can pay for blue, get their shit at the top of the feed, and then Twitter can pretend that this is just a naturally popular opinion and nobody can prove that they’re pushing nazi opinions for money?

It all makes sense now!

For me it was already unusable. The Canadian trending page is always full of right wing conspiracy and most posts have some sort of hate speech comments.

Same as the US trending page.

Idk reddit has always been pretty liberal for the most part. Of course there are right wing subs but overall the site is pretty left leaning.

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
