I actually watched the trailer for Alphacon and it was surprisingly tame. I was hoping for Tom Cruise in Magnolia, but instead it was a bunch of Tony Robbins “release your inner alpha wolf” nonsense.

The guy shows a shit ton of antipathy for his own customers.
It’s like if Taco Bell released ads of some douche saying “it doesn’t matter what I say, you’ll still buy that 7 layer burrito and chalupa when you’re drunk at 2 AM. Won’t you, you pigs? We at Taco Bell think you will.”

Twitter’s going to stink. No more scrolling down and seeing randos’ hot fire burns?

It could be like the show additional replies including potentially offensive thing they have now. Which is fine, I rarely if ever have anything to say. Same as here, now I think about it.

What about Lists? An easy workaround would just be to make a list of your follows. It’s easy to make a bookmark to a list on the computer. On the phone you might have to skip using the app - which takes 3 or 4 clicks to get to a list.
Elon’s whole plan is based on the idea that people won’t blow $8 just to make silly goofs on Twitter, it’s amazing.

Meanwhile, he paid $44 billion dollars to make silly goofs on Twitter. I don’t think he’s getting his money’s worth.
