Nobody wants to do business with unstable nazis.

Nobody wants to do business with ~~unstable~~ nazis.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 148 points 1 year ago

How I wish that were true.

Nobody wants to do business with unstable ~~nazis~~ people

Plenty of businesses ready and willing to do business with stable (and rich) Nazis, dictators and slavers. Look at the line of people and businesses more than ready to make deals with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, China, etc

If you are rich and have a stable government, there's no amount of human rights violations and genocides stopping corrupt fuckers from trying to make deals with you and profit.

Any company that appeals to conservatives loves to do business with Nazis.

Good. Frankly at this point if you're still on on Twitter I think it's suspicious.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Long past that point... If your not on mastodon I don't really care what you have to say. Bluesky is just another capitalist platform used to motize working class people's content.

I've oddly seen lemmy posts on mastodon lately and it kinda secured to me this is the real "web 3.0"

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago

nah, this is how the web was always designed to work.

Ha ha! Fuck you Elon. Way to make your shitty platform irrelevant faster.

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 115 points 1 year ago (3 children)

And nothing of value was lost. I can't imagine ever wanting to read a tweet from somebody's console game.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago (18 children)

The point was to be able to send clips from your games directly to social media.

Can we get a shout out for elon for killing twitter

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 47 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (13 children)

It's actually a huge feat to kill such a huge company that had so much momentum. Kudos to him. At this point he could make a business out of ruining things. Pay him to endorse a company if you want to tarnish its reputation.

I wish I had 44 billion dollars to burn.

I could live comfortably for the rest of my life on 1/10,000th of what Elmo wasted.

[–] ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world 86 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what have they replaced the X button on their controllers with, then?

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 63 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (13 children)

PlayStation doesn't have an X button, it has a Cross button. /j

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

Imagine if instead of X, Δ, O, and ☐ it was 4 different religious symbols. Like those "coexist" bumper stickers.

This is a great thing.

There need to be material consequences for Nazism.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 53 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it's more that it costs money to use the Twitter API now.

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 67 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Surprised that they didn’t remove it earlier

At $42k per month I would have removed/disabled it immediately

Why would I need to pay that kind of money to let my users to post on your social where you’re monetizing it with ads and using the content to increase user engagement? Should be the opposite! The social network paying the game console maker in order to get preferential treatment and prominent share buttons

Fucking good, everyone that still supports that wannabe fascist tool wears it as a badge of stupidity, at best.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 44 points 1 year ago

They should stop posting company business on Twitter, too.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

Worse by every metric. "The Wealthiest Man in the World's Crisis Purchase Putrifies"

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I've never used Twitter, but I've heard that it's just a porn site nowadays. Is that accurate?

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 77 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, they also have Nazis and other assorted bigots.

And a whole lot of racism!

[–] menemen@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (12 children)

No. There are still a lot of serious journalists on it. It is still a very important media for journalists to quickly share information.

But the porn&hate bots and the uncontrolled trolls make it unbearable. It has always been rough on twitter, but it has become an utter shitshow.

I think that by having all major console makers abandoning Twitter, that it will keep Twitter / X away from the majority of the younger generations. (which I think would be a good things for those wanting to protect your kids from the content that's allowed to free spread on there.)

[–] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You really think kids use consoles, to access social media, more than phones, and tablets?

So... Mastodon integration instead I hope?

[–] match@pawb.social 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

With each company hosting their own mastodon instance! We can bring back console wars with federation/defederation
