Maybe send another car to space. There's just not enough trash floating around.

Maybe if he would stop fucking ruining everything about the site...

Oh cool daily Twitter news updates are on Lemmy too. I have never had a Twitter account and I will never have a Twitter account.

A spokesperson for everyone who isn't a sociopathic spoiled rich kid in adult pants was quoted as saying, "Gee, that's too bad."

who could have seen this coming?

Maybe if the remaining users that are still on twitter need to jump ship just to really set in stone the amount of user drop off they might have. That or upload tones of photos and videos to try and overload there servers.

Only 50%? That's far from his apparent goal of destroying his company.

[–] FrankFrankson@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is this even a real tweet? I cannot find the source.

Awesome. I didn't doubt he was stupid enough to write it, just couldn't find it. According to article you linked ~50% might actually be closer to 89% which is extra hilarious.

The moment Threads properly implement hashtags and trending topics, Twitter is finished.

Zuckerberg doesn't even need to federate to achieve this. He got well over 100 million signups. He's good.

Didn’t……didn’t Twitter users have the “luxury of anything else” before he showed up? Lmfao.
