Nobody in the real world will ever satisfy you.

Twitter’s head of Trust and Safety resigned last night, probably over this.

The “transgender” person has a stubborn errant mental obsession that has caused them to “misgender” themselves.

Musk was a multibillionaire who bought Twitter like a kid buys a toy.

At first, it held his attention.

But the shine has worn of as what he thought was going to be an asset in the long term is looking more like a long term liability.

Yes

And Elon this morning tweeted to his 140 million followers that every family should watch the movie and linked it

He also told Matt Jordan Ben and Michael et al that the controversy should generate hits

And he’s likely right

Yet here we have this thread lol

So free republic 2023

We can do better

I went back on Twitter a few months ago. It's a totally different experience since Musk took it over. I really like it and my engagement there is through the roof. I got 400K impressions on a reply to a tweet back on Monday (which basically means nearly a half million people read my reply). I had to disable notifications for a while due to all the "likes" I was getting on that one reply.

Sure, there are still creeps out there. But basically if you don't engage them, they leave you alone. Also, follow back carefully. I never follow someone back until I've gone through their profile and read some of their tweets.

I've been creating my own custom news feeds by setting up private lists of people I follow. Real journalists like Mollie Hemingway, John Solomon and Tracy Beanz. Also well known Freeper author/historian Larry Schweikart is there as well.

Yes, we can do better here on Free Republic!

It's embarrassing reading some of these replies. "What Is A Woman" has gone viral on Twitter and I plan to watch it with my wife later this weekend. No way is Elon banning that video, in fact, he tweeted out to his 140 million followers, as you stated, to go ahead and watch it.

So no censorship going on here.

I believe in cherishing the people who are with me 80%, rather than excommunicating people because they’re not with me 100%

You are clueless about Musk and the other Deep State tech CEO cutouts.

Er cough cough

I’m followed by Schrödingers cat and catturd on Twitter

So I’m officially a big shot lol

I’m flattered

I think I have a paltry 25 followers to be Frank

To get into it you have to be prolific and hit big tweets when they break pithy or witty it seems

Anyhow yes they sure tolerate me

A follow from Catturd is no minor thing!

You are right, a tweet at the right time - usually a quick witty reply to a major account - can get you a few hundred thousand views.

What's weird is I'll put out a well written tweet that I thought hard about and it will get no action at all. But an off the cuff tweet sometimes goes viral.
