Elon Musk pushed back on advertisers boycotting X over antisemitism and other hate speech on the platform formerly known as Twitter during the 2023 DealBook Summit in New York on Wednesday.
What he’s saying: “If somebody’s gonna try to blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go f**k yourself.” Musk said. “Don’t advertise.”
Just follow his directions: don’t advertise.
Also don’t visit. Why would you?
Artists and porn artists.
Bluesky hasn’t got enough of them yet, mastodon apps aren’t quite on that level yet.
Also overseas users. Lots of Japanese developers are sticking with it for now, until they have to go back to mixi or some shit.
I don’t. Though I do follow a couple feeds for important things like the local NWS office. As soon as they post regularly elsewhere that can include notifications of new posts, I’ll happily drop them and Xitter.
This is the thing keeping the Xitter paper-bag-of-poop from being set on fire - a clear, easy, how-to for municipal and government agencies to get on mastodon and cross-post for a temporary period.
Somebody make one please
