"Co-founder and former CEO of Twitter, Inc. from 2015 to 2021" for context

[–] Dramasquared@lemmy.zip -2 points 4 hours ago

Pretty wild.

Jack Dorsey's name adds up to 666, and he sold the company to Elon Musk, who's name adds to 660. And 660 banned 666. Weird.

Anyone interested, you can look up the 666 calculator to check.

Glad he's not involved with BlueSky anymore. Reap what you sow, fuckwad.

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 11 points 7 hours ago

100%. Everyone talks a lot of shit about Musk and how he runs X, but Dorsey was doing the dirty work of authoritarians before that and censoring people on Twitter constantly. A non-trivial amount of Twitter staff came right out of the alphabet agencies.

X is not special, the mask is just off now.

Sidenote: what the hell is primal.net???

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 11 points 10 hours ago

Looks like a Nostr instance? Nostr is kinda like Mastodon but not using ActivityPub. To my knowledge Nostr is not blockchain related but it is exclusively used by cryptobros.

X might be the worst platform on the internet.

[–] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Basically 8chan but with advertisers for some reason.

[–] Captainautism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 hours ago

The advertisers get bullied into advertising. Elmo sues any company that doesn't advertise on X.

[–] 5parky@lemmy.world 32 points 20 hours ago

With reddit eating X's ass on the highway to insignificance.

[–] fakeplastic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 152 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Good thing he left Bluesky to go back to X, the free speech app.

[–] MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.world 163 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

The guy had the option to sell like $1 billion of his ownership stake in Twitter when Musk bought it, but instead left it in. He also supported the Musk takeover. Guy is a fool.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 105 points 23 hours ago

Despite everything, he’s a tech bro first.

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Wait he owns that many shares and he still got banned?

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 6 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

If that figure of $1 billion is correct, that's just 1/44 ownership. Hardly a portion that allows one to control anything operative.

[–] betternotbigger@lemmy.world 24 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

No one remembers the brief stint to leap frog Web3 with Web5? I'm so tired of these tech bros.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 7 points 16 hours ago

Ah, the old Winamp gambit.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 73 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

X gonna give it to ya (it being a temporary suspension)

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 10 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

That's good but I'm concerned since I'm currently unable to pick it up on my own. Is this standing offer that I can take advantage of at a later date?

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

Fuck waitin' for you t'get it on y'own X gon' delivery it to ya!

It being an authoritarian regime.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

Pic it up wuss. SMH, these cats done forgot what work is.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 35 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Here is the archived link. If they're famous, archive it please. Rule 6

https://archive.is/UajMJ

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 7 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (2 children)

Nah, I don't give a fuck about famous people, and you shouldn't either.

They're simply just regular humans who happen to make more money than you, and that's not enough value for me to pay attention.

Archiving this shit is a waste of drive space.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 90 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

It's not because I care about what they say, it's so that we don't have misquotes and people fighting over that shit. Also, no one wants to go to x directly to see the link. We're saving the users of this community and not giving them any traffic.

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

what method do you recommend to use to archive it?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago

Go to archive.is and put in the link. This is only for famous people or a political figure. If someone is just commenting on the state of things or whatever, it doesn't really matter.

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 19 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Valid reasoning.

[–] count_dongulus@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

They don't make the money, they take the money.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 28 points 23 hours ago

You may need to perform additional tasks to resume using X

"You know what to do. On your knees before Elon."

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 25 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

What did he say that got him banned, does anyone know?

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 22 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Probably didn't personally thank Trum and Musk today or something.

[–] suite403@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

I bet he claimed to have founded Twitter. Can't be spreading propaganda on X after all.

Co-founder and former CEO of Twitter. So, kind of like: the chiX have come home to twit

[–] faizalr@fedia.io 11 points 22 hours ago
