    Just flag Twitter as a hate platform and delist them?

    Let Musky deal with explaining why it isn’t and beg, like how Apple set his stupid ass straight.

        In 2022…

        Musk launched a provocative Twitter tirade against Apple, and its CEO. Musk claimed that Apple had withdrawn most of its advertising and was threatening to block the platform from its mobile store where iPhone users download apps. Musk said the move was an act to undermine free speech.

        Tim cook invited him to their campus. And let’s just say Musk learned at that moment to stfu.

            Yeah I remember reading at the time that they basically kissed and made up; Musk actually interacted with Tim like a human and was snapped out of his weird manic fit, and Tim told him they were still advertising. That’s it.

          I assume Twitter or X now is still on the app store?

      And direct everyone to the Fediverse. All government officials should have their primary accounts there.

        They should be running their own server where they have complete control over the content. I hate that public entities rely so much on third party services when their own websites get neglected. Like, I went to your website for info, but then find I have to go to Twitter or FB or whatever to find updates. And then Musk rat has a fit in the K hole and blocks stuff or tweaks the interface to mess shit up somehow and poof, it’s gone until he wakes up one of his engineers to fix it.

        I find it baffling that most are not maintaining both mastodon and threads accounts.

      Honestly this is the best answer. Kill his dying platform.
