I like King but like everyone leaving the boat since a couple of day, too little too late. Plus, leaving a babyllionaire's toy for another babyllionaire's toy is probably not the brightess idea.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 29 minutes ago

He's a multimillionaire who spent an entire decade or more so coked out and drunk that he doesn't even remember writing Cujo. Don't set your expectations so high.

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 2 hours ago

So, he took his sweet time to leave the nazi bar and, of all places, he moves to the bar already on its way of becoming another nazi bar.

Ok

[–] Foni@lemm.ee 9 points 2 hours ago

He's going to Threads??? They have finally launched the metaverse and no one has told me anything??? I don't see any other rational reason to do something like that.

His final x-cretion

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 22 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Follow me on Threads, if you like.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Idk, Zuck doesn't seem to suck up to Trump quite as much, so there's that. He still does, but he's just a bit more of a "behind closed doors" kind of person.

[–] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 35 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I thought he was into horror?

Have you visited Threads? It’s pretty horrific.

[–] Joker@sh.itjust.works 20 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I don't blame him, reality is scarier than fiction.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

I don't think he expected to witness Greg Stillson for real.

[–] john117@lemmy.jmsquared.net 52 points 12 hours ago

yawn. wake me up when he joins a social media site not owned by a corp.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 55 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Threads is the same or worse. I just deleted my account.

Good luck.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 52 minutes ago (1 children)

I wish I could delete my Threads account, but I can't delete what doesn't exist. And I think I deleted my Twitter account before Musk bought it, but I honestly can't remember since I haven't used it many years.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 28 minutes ago (1 children)

It doesn't matter since they never actually delete your data anyways, and continue selling your marketing profile.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 25 minutes ago

Yup, that's part of why I'm not bothering to check. Me logging in will just give them more data to sell...

[–] venia_sil@fedia.io 124 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Follow me on Threads

so, nothing has changed.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 141 points 16 hours ago (4 children)

This thread is kind of wild. Do all of y'all understand that it's more the blatant endorsement and promotion of literal Nazis that is driving people off Twitter? It ain't the corporatization. We might not like that but to pretend like it's the same thing is fucking insane.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 45 minutes ago

Facebook has been a hotbed of nazi communities for longer than twitter has been around.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 16 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Facebook and its sister sites have been a hotbed of unmoderated nazi content for longer than some of the people in this thread have been alive.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

I feel like with Facebook it's more of a YouTube situation where they don't care as long as it makes them money and no major regulator raises their eyebrows. Which is despicable, don't get me wrong, but Twitter is not just doing that, it is actively endorsing these mfs

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Meta admitted to tolerating election influencing, it doesnt matter in which direction, because it means they can be bought.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 37 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

We must have different experiences with facebook, because I see nazi rhetoric just as often there. It may not be as blatantly supported, but they certainly do nothing to keep it off of the platform.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 16 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

But is the nazi rhetoric on facebook coming from the owners?

[–] babybus@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

It is intentionally amplified by the owners because that makes them money. We have more than enough knowledge to say that with confidence thanks to the empirical data and ex-employees.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Facebook spread disinformation from a junta that caused a genocide and the Zuck did nothing to stop that disinformation stream. He’s almost as bad as a Nazi.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 12 points 12 hours ago

They aren't saying with their mouths, but they seem to be fine with it padding their wallets.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 10 points 15 hours ago

Right? People seems to forgot there's mass exodus off facebook due to this exact issue and they still have this issue as of now, and also the protest against federating with Thread not too long ago.

I'm leaving Reddit. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic. Follow me on Sh.itjust.works, if you like.

[–] gigachad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Subscribed! One question of one of your fans: Will you do free giveaways on sh.it just.works? I read every comment you write and I would love to support you enhancing your outreach. I know people from several instances, I also talked to a moderator once (it was DM because I was banned but the mod was wrong omg)

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 50 minutes ago

Yup, we give away free upvotes, consistent uptime, and occasionally replies.

It clearly following, I don’t know what you’re talking about

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 16 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

You have to go old school, bookmark their profile in a browser

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 hours ago

Yeah I do this frequently. Then I randomly go back to people's profiles and often find interesting communities and threads that way.

[–] Joker@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 hours ago

You can subscribe to their profile RSS feed, if you are into RSS.

TECTONIC SHIFT

[–] ech@lemm.ee 19 points 15 hours ago

Not to say people shouldn't leave Twitter, but like...this isn't going to devastate him. He's in the inner circle. Twitter could burn down and I doubt he would even notice.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 36 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Leaving a corpo-propaganda place, join another corpo-propaganda place. So close, King, so close.

[–] ProIsh@lemmy.world 19 points 16 hours ago

Now it's too toxic? I love SK but come on. Supported that site for too long.
