Anyone use Twitter?

Interesting comments about twitter from 10 years ago.

Another thing. There's an abudance of east asian ladies adding me to their follow list on twitter. I suspect most of them are some fake/scam accounts, they usually post photos of themselves and always good looking ladies. I immediately block them nowadays.

Does that happen to you too? Do you know what their game is?

You just found out what pornbots on social medias are.
They add women, too.

I am not sure these are pornbots. They just post photos of themselves in malls, cafes, eating nice food, in a beach during sunset, more like instagram-kinda photos. Nothing overtly sexual or nude.

I wonder if they are pulling the photos automatically from some women's instagram pages. They don't send any direct messages either.

It may be that they are trying to increase their follower count and engagement and when they reach a high number of followers, they may start sending advertisement related posts to gain money on them.

Twitter is the best social network. But not for the weak minded.

There’s more than one way to sink a social network.

As a systems person who has done content moderation... yeah, these are basically the back-end and/or underlying scenarios that could cause issues.

I'm certain that those issues will be a problem for him sooner rather than later. He over paid for it, he wants to start charging the blue checkmarks $20/mo for their verification and he has Tesla engineers working on it. Now he is unsurprisingly spreading the disinformation but in the end, does it really matter what vile plutocrat owns Twitter? No, they're all the same.

I ran across this earlier today from a friend's FB feed. I read through it, it seems measured but I didn't do any corroboration on it yet...

No, Elon and Jack are not “competitors.” They’re collaborating.

Wherein I attempt to clarify a number of ridiculous and false narratives currently taking hold about Musk and Dorsey’s “rivalry.”
