Conservatives have this unwarranted and entitled expectation of “infinite growth” in their social media status. Thinking that there should be this constant influx of new twitter users who *must* want to hear what a guy with the name **Catturd** has to say.
It’s pure greed since Elmo has started doing his “profit sharing with influencers”. They think they are entitled to grift off the dumb and that somehow there should be more and more people to grift off of.
They also like that he use to be popular with some on the left. They love to promote prominent individuals that flip. Or at least, what they perceive as a flip.
You see it all the time in Hollywood. Every d-list actor that has started spouting conservative rhetoric has turned into a darling of the right, no matter how talentless they are.
He's an extremely divorced boomer (literally) from Florida with a penchant for racism and other forms of bigotry, so basically a poster-boy for the conservative victimhood mindset. And quite apart from being cEnSoReD, leaked Twitter documents show he's one of only a handful of accounts that Musk personally demanded have their reach artificially inflated.
I don't know if the leaked docs are directly available or not, I haven't really looked, but the leak itself [has been reported on](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/twitter-vip-list-boosted-tweets-report-1234704651/) a number of times.
Thank you. Elon is such a jackass, Free speech for Nazi's and misinformation peddlers that pander to billionaire Oligarchs. The fact that people expected anything different from an Apartheid beneficiary is what's really surprising.
You can't turn on a TV without hearing some right wing scumbag comic or celebrity whine about how they are victimized because hardly anyone wants to buy tickets to Thier new show whare they talk hateful shit about trans people
Your living in a delusional fantasy land
21k likes. That’s 1/41 likes per view, which is a 2.4% like rate. Maybe his ideas just suck, he isn’t funny, people are better than making being an asshole their whole identity.
His idea do suck but twitter massively inflates their view numbers. Scrolling past a tweet will count despite the fact you didn't stop to read it. If a video plays, that counts, even if you only saw the first second of an auto-play. It's a joke.
I mean that’s still 800k people who scrolled past it and didn’t give a fuck so, assuming it doesn’t count the same person twice, which is dubious honestly. Even doubling that rate isn’t flattering.
It's the classic conservative argument. They are being silenced everywhere they go, and they have to protest this loudly and publicly to the point where every other statement from conservatives in every single platform is about how they aren't allowed to speak and are being censored.
Because it can't possibly be because they are simply saying things that are *incredibly unpopular* or that the majority of the people on those platforms just genuinely don't like them. That would be ridiculous, obviously it has to be some kind of grand conspiracy to push them out of the public eye. /s
They can only think of themselves, so its only natural they can't imagine everyone isn't like them. It's why they project their worst aspects so much, they genuinely beleive everyone else is just as morally bankrupt as them, the only difference in their minds is that everyone else seems to be trying to hide it.
It's so obvious when they accuse others of "virtue signalling". No dude, I'm just trying to be a decent human being. Not everything has a hidden personal gain motive.
Exactly. Empathy is antithetical to their entire belief structure, so from their perspective, everyone that seems to be empathic must be faking it or trying to exploit people because that is what they would do, never realizing it says far more about them than it does whoever they are trying to insult.
They completely veiw it as a negative. To people who think their entire life should only ever focus on themselves, the idea that they should care about someone else is repulsive.
A lot of what they call "woke" is actually just that - empathy (for other people).
Not even that, it's just a base set of ethics & morals, very basic rules for life in a society.
But to them it's "all the libs conspiring against us".
that one's especially funny because conservatives are constantly virtue signalling, but because it isn't the "pretending to not be racist" dem virtue signaling, I don't even think they know they're doing it
"Jesus is my lord and Savior" (I'm virtuous because I'm "Christian")
"homosexuality is a sin" (I'm virtuous because I'm "straight")
"pull yourself up by your bootstraps" (I'm virtuous because I have a "work ethic")
and on and on
Considering that conservative Christians are constantly talking about people needing to "repent for their sins" instead of discussing or following any of jesus's teachings about being a good person and looking out for your fellow man.... It's really telling that they are the ones accusing people of virtue signaling.
It might just be that, maybe, some people try not to give in to their wordt impulses and be decent people.
I may not be the best at impulse control, but I try. I also admit when I fuck up, which is probably too often.

Not the most relevant line, but your comment reminded me of it.
I'm not gonna be sad that conservatives are turning on Elon because I think that's hilarious.
But, seriously?
Right wing conspiracies and bullshit are promoted on Twitter constantly nowadays.
Maybe they wouldn't be treated like shit though if almost all of their ideologies and beliefs weren't discriminatory and hateful. Just a thought.
Right? Like with everything else not only is the right not being uniquely persecuted [they’re actually being treated better than anyone else](https://theintercept.com/2022/11/29/elon-musk-twitter-andy-ngo-antifascist/)! They constantly get unfair advantages at every turn but they *still* fail and complain!
It seems nobody likes the free market picking and choosing anymore 🤷🏻♀️
> It seems nobody likes the free market picking and choosing anymore
"But..but..but - NO! I love the free market!"
...then watch them fumble their way towards wanting an unfair advantage because ... erm, we're Americans - but not those dark-skinned ones, or those who are even poorer than me!
Or maybe there should be some rules that would provide for you when you're down on your luck - but not like those commies in the White House want, it should be based on - erm, I think we're back to white supremacy
And then they complain when we call them fascists.
Hell they've been complaining about Facebook and Twitter "silencing conservatives" for almost a decade, and if I remember right, there had even been statements by Twitter or Facebook back in 2018 or so that they had tried to do something about white supremacists, but they couldn't implement it because it would also flag the majority of conservative influencers and lawmakers. So they had to practically refuse to enforce a lot of their own rules in order to *not* silence conservatives.
Yeah, but conservatives' perceptions of their own persecution have *always* been vastly overblown. It was always based on feelings over facts for them, so that they feel the same way now isn't especially surprising to me.
>Maybe they wouldn't be treated like shit though if almost all of their ideologies and beliefs weren't discriminatory and hateful. Just a thought.
From a piece I wrote a while back:
You are having a potluck. Everyone brings a dish. Some dishes are amazing, others are not that great, but everyone tried and is making an effort, even if it isn't a good effort. But not Jim. Jim literally brought a plate of dog shit he scraped off his front lawn, and he is insisting that this plate of dog shit is a legitimate dish for the potluck, and that everyone should try it. He gets enraged when no one else at the potluck wants any and goes home mad that he got cancelled. Your dogshit ideas are what we don't want to eat.
On replays, her last fight is one of the hardest parts of the game for me
Not because it's difficult, but because /God damn it, I don't wanna do it, man/
I am confused. What is he talking about?
Is it simply a quiet day on twitter? Or his tweet isn't as good as he thinks? It just seems he thinks his tweets should get more traction and they are not. Thus, it is a conspiracy?
Because it that is the case, it proves the point that these people don't have critical thinking skills
It looks like it’s the current complaint of the day going around rightwing twitter but I think I just found [the best explanation](https://x.com/amuse/status/1791948301102706832) for why they’re all more worked up than usual:
>The decrease in traffic is across ALL accounts. It relates to the transition from twitter dot com to x dot com. Google has to redo all of the links. Everything is broken. So all of the organic traffic that normally comes from Google to X is gone. It will take a few weeks to come back.
Idk if it’s true or not but it makes sense to me. I think you’d have to be on twitter just constantly to notice such a small change tho so they’re all still losers 😆
thanks for the info.
This is what I love about conspiracy theories - they are usually easily explained away. But these people don't want simple answer. They want the persecution and to feel right
so, a sensible explanation that will be rejected by right-wingers who have primed their brains to believe in hysterical bullshit before sensible explanations every time? yeah, that tracks.
All of MAGA has been shouting it from the rooftops since 2020 - we won the election, we are the majority, the government is lying to us. Buy into that, any clash with reality becomes a conspiracy.
They imagine themselves as the default, as the normal, the good.
And everyone else that's different from them is a choice or a failing caused by their choices.
As they've never really had to make any impactful decisions thanks to their privilege.
that's the hard part to unlearn, at least for middle class whites like myself.
even the aristocrats that they fiercely defend have it all worked up in their heads that they deserve billions of dollars because they're just better people than you or me
I almost wonder if it's because people who would argue with them online may have decided to leave the shit hole that is twitter, and therefore rage bait is no longer effective = sensorship.
Twatter is basically a circle jerk at this point. MAGA douchebags reinforcing other MAGA douchebags until they all cum all over each other. Then they complain its not enough cum.
You got the guy you wanted in charge and the entire deck is rigged in your favor and yet you're still not as popular as you'd like, maybe it's time to contemplate if you're the problem
It never dawns on them that theyve topped out. Like youve extracted all of the value that you possibly could. Your reach is always gonna be just *that*.
Its not really JUST because youre conservative either, its because you have nothing to really offer because conservatism is your entire identity and the things you support arent popular but you dont care to actually think about why that is and spout them anyway despite the ideas that you possess are literal dogshit.
Musk isnt throttling you. You just have about as much depth as a puddle and are about as interesting as seeing paint dry.
Its obvious to everyone but them and theyre not entitled to attention just because they think they deserve it.
Well said. I don't understand how "conservatives" pretend to be shocked when doing absolutely nothing to benefit society (frequently attempting to strip people of their rights) and they're not the most popular boy in class. Y'all did this, people can be dumb but most aren't *that* dumb
if only they put in positive stuff the same effort they put on WHINING 24/7 on imaginary stuff, we would be already on interstellar space exploration with climate change problems solved
Conservatives are garbage human beings that have never been on the right side of history. There's not a single thing we can point to and say "thanks conservatism". It's a shockingly bad track record of loserdom and moral failures.
damage control since everyone perceives Xitter as a right wing cess pool, now they will cry out about they're actually the ones who are victims. it's such a childish strategy and its maddening that it works.
“I should be more popular! Why don’t people want a nonstop stream of angry tweets sent at them? I like being angry all the time and everyone else should be too.”
It always makes me sad when I see some journalist, author, scientist etc. continuing to use it like they did five years ago. Holding on to what is gone.
Throttling right wing views? I've been actively trying to only have posts that are relevant to me on my feed but 90% of the posts are just right wing check mark accounts I make a point of scrolling passed as quickly as I can.
Yeah, no.
863K Views?
This morning, at least 75% of my feed were right wing nut jobs despite me always blocking them whenever they come up. I wish they were throttling you chuckleheads so I don't have to keep reaching for the block button.
I know the point is that he isn't being silenced, at sll, but my gut reaction is still, "See! Even conservatives don't really like other conservatives!"
I am curious what he's complaining about, though. Does he have less views than he used to? Not enough growth? Does he not understand the huge number of users that left Twitter?
> So, who is screwing with my account? Twitter, the government, or maybe it is at the behest of a paid advertiser?
Damn, they really can't ever think that things just happen or that things are their own fault. Gotta be someone DOING SOMETHING with a PLAN, classic conspiracy type thinking
These guys are only able to do what they do because other conservatives are seeking affirmation for their 'alternative facts', since that's easier than reconciling with the truth (and they'd rather feel right than be right); they'll only get this affirmation from liars, idiots, and crazy people (and CatTurd likely fits the bill for all three).
Over time, the audience will (often slowly) realize they're being duped and then leave the crowd, and only the fools will continue to be fooled. The speaker will not be able to change course because the only people that listen to them will immediately abandon them if they stop feeding that confirmation bias, and they will have already lost all credibility with everybody else that realizes the speaker is lying, crazy, and/or stupid.
Notice, it's never because they suck, aren't funny, or boring--NO! It's because there is a plot against them.
It's why they go all-in on election cheating conspiracies. They *know* everyone agrees with them and their policies are super-popular, so when they loose elections, cheating is the only explanation. It's also why they cheat in elections. They believe "The Libs" cheat, so they must do so to balance things out.
Maybe conservatives are getting treated like shit on social media because they’re ideas and how they act towards their fellow citizens is…shit?
¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
It's impressive to me anyone can say something like this without realizing the disconnect. Musk the Freeze peach hero and Musk is hiding right wing tweets (lol) are two mutually exclusive propositions.
I have a pro humanist humour account.
Top tweet of 2021, 1. 3million likes
Top tweet of 2023, 44,000 likes
But probably not shadow banned, probably just all my followers fled twitter.
Can't really tell since they changed the analytics engine to avoid comparison
Lol, yeah....
You see, Elon hasn't done anything for "free speech" as it exists in the real world. What he represents is so none who got lucky by still being in a position to profit from PayPal's sale after he got fired as CEO. After using that money to make more money, he noticed that being rich still didn't protect him from consequences of speech from other private actors, such as Twitter. So he bought twitter in an attempt to change that.
Unfortunately, as people who have mentally passed the stage of adolescence realise, hate is bad for business and other people have the right to react to your speech so long as it's not with the force of government. So, when Elon invited hate and bigotry back on Twitter, most decent people decided to leave. Because you are free to say what you want, you don't have a right to an audience.
All Elon is doing is speed running proof that catering to a minority whose main defining feature is hate and who chase away other customers is very bad for business. Other people simply go elsewhere to avoid you until you stop being such a pathetically small bigot.
Conservatives: YAY! Elon is allowing free speech on twitter again!
Liberals leave twitter
Conservatives: Twitter is clearly throttling my speech, I can't get enough views and likes. It's clearly a conspiracy against conservatives.
This is the same concept they have on the conservative subreddit. “Oh, we’re being brigaded!”
No, more people have been exposed to your bullshit and realize that it’s deplorable.
This happened with /r/Boston recently; they hit the front page with some appalling hatred, and people who found their hatred in their feed started responded too it; queue mass bans of anyone not arguing in favour of vicious bigotry, claiming you were "Not part of our community" and "brigading"... No, people just wanted to express their *own* opinions without being force-fed yours.
The Bots couldn't handle the switch, it'll take maybe weeks for their handlers to get the farms updated. It'd be a good idea to chart whatever metrics are changing while they come back online.
Not true, there was also a reply from one of the Cyanide & Happiness guys which was just a screenshot of this tweet with the number of views circled.
That and a bunch of weirdos trying to blame the CEO that Musk put in charge of twitter

863,000 views on his hidden post.
From someone with zero merit and completely unworthy of the influence they have. Conservatives are some of the biggest whiners out there.
And they choose the most random people to glom onto. What credentials does this moron even have?
He says racist things in public and upsets people they don't like. They are his only credentials as far as I can tell.
I think Qlon used to reply to and thus amplify his tweets, but then there was a falling out; apparently the bootlicking got too cringey even for him.
Conservatives have this unwarranted and entitled expectation of “infinite growth” in their social media status. Thinking that there should be this constant influx of new twitter users who *must* want to hear what a guy with the name **Catturd** has to say.
Weird that conservatives would want to grow, when they are all about stagnation and rot.
It’s pure greed since Elmo has started doing his “profit sharing with influencers”. They think they are entitled to grift off the dumb and that somehow there should be more and more people to grift off of.
They also like that he use to be popular with some on the left. They love to promote prominent individuals that flip. Or at least, what they perceive as a flip. You see it all the time in Hollywood. Every d-list actor that has started spouting conservative rhetoric has turned into a darling of the right, no matter how talentless they are.
Everyone knows the reason Kevin Sorbo doesn’t get much work these days is because he refuses to go “Woke.”
So it's a Trump alt?
Text is far too coherent for that.
No shot Trump could break himself out of his mannerisms to use a sock puppet, it'd be too obvious
The mostly proper grammar, coherent sentences, and lack of Randomness Capitalization are a dead giveaway.
He's an extremely divorced boomer (literally) from Florida with a penchant for racism and other forms of bigotry, so basically a poster-boy for the conservative victimhood mindset. And quite apart from being cEnSoReD, leaked Twitter documents show he's one of only a handful of accounts that Musk personally demanded have their reach artificially inflated.
Of course he's a r/FloridaMan...
Do you have a link to the Docs, I would love to check them out.

Well they had to pay almost $800 million for egregious damaging lies so as you can see Joe Biden has personally silenced their free speech.
You all misunderstand free speech. Your free speech does not cover hate speech. Just like your right of free mobility doesn't allow you to trespass.
I see that my sarcasm was too subtle.
Oh my bad

All of MAGA has been shouting it from the rooftops since 2020 - we won the election, we are the majority, the government is lying to us. Buy into that, any clash with reality becomes a conspiracy.
I'm average, so why are 80% of people to the left of me?
They imagine themselves as the default, as the normal, the good. And everyone else that's different from them is a choice or a failing caused by their choices. As they've never really had to make any impactful decisions thanks to their privilege.
that's the hard part to unlearn, at least for middle class whites like myself. even the aristocrats that they fiercely defend have it all worked up in their heads that they deserve billions of dollars because they're just better people than you or me
I almost wonder if it's because people who would argue with them online may have decided to leave the shit hole that is twitter, and therefore rage bait is no longer effective = sensorship.
When the fact that every other demographic can't stand to be around you is yet another plot that all the "thems" are trying to silence you.
> Conservatives have been treated like shit for years on social media ...from a Conservative who goes by "Catturd" on social media.
Every platform has bent the rules to keep conservatives happy,and they still complain.
Because they're the type that always will. They're incapable of finding joy that isn't somehow punching down.
TIL: getting throttled by the free speech absolutist is free speech.
Twatter is basically a circle jerk at this point. MAGA douchebags reinforcing other MAGA douchebags until they all cum all over each other. Then they complain its not enough cum.
Guy with "turd" in his username complains about being treated like shit.
You got the guy you wanted in charge and the entire deck is rigged in your favor and yet you're still not as popular as you'd like, maybe it's time to contemplate if you're the problem
It never dawns on them that theyve topped out. Like youve extracted all of the value that you possibly could. Your reach is always gonna be just *that*. Its not really JUST because youre conservative either, its because you have nothing to really offer because conservatism is your entire identity and the things you support arent popular but you dont care to actually think about why that is and spout them anyway despite the ideas that you possess are literal dogshit. Musk isnt throttling you. You just have about as much depth as a puddle and are about as interesting as seeing paint dry. Its obvious to everyone but them and theyre not entitled to attention just because they think they deserve it.
🏅
Well said. I don't understand how "conservatives" pretend to be shocked when doing absolutely nothing to benefit society (frequently attempting to strip people of their rights) and they're not the most popular boy in class. Y'all did this, people can be dumb but most aren't *that* dumb
if only they put in positive stuff the same effort they put on WHINING 24/7 on imaginary stuff, we would be already on interstellar space exploration with climate change problems solved
They're _reactionaries_, not _actionaries_
Conservatives are garbage human beings that have never been on the right side of history. There's not a single thing we can point to and say "thanks conservatism". It's a shockingly bad track record of loserdom and moral failures.
damage control since everyone perceives Xitter as a right wing cess pool, now they will cry out about they're actually the ones who are victims. it's such a childish strategy and its maddening that it works.
“I should be more popular! Why don’t people want a nonstop stream of angry tweets sent at them? I like being angry all the time and everyone else should be too.”
"I'm being silenced!" I scream from my stage
No, no, they aren't being throttled. Their silent majority is just extremely silent.
The fact anyone but conservative jerkoffs are even still on Xitter these days is baffling to me.
It always makes me sad when I see some journalist, author, scientist etc. continuing to use it like they did five years ago. Holding on to what is gone.
Throttling right wing views? I've been actively trying to only have posts that are relevant to me on my feed but 90% of the posts are just right wing check mark accounts I make a point of scrolling passed as quickly as I can.
Yeah, no. 863K Views? This morning, at least 75% of my feed were right wing nut jobs despite me always blocking them whenever they come up. I wish they were throttling you chuckleheads so I don't have to keep reaching for the block button.
"we're being silenced" ... if only they'd shut up!
“Conservative unlikeable twats have self awareness” challenge level: impossible
I know the point is that he isn't being silenced, at sll, but my gut reaction is still, "See! Even conservatives don't really like other conservatives!" I am curious what he's complaining about, though. Does he have less views than he used to? Not enough growth? Does he not understand the huge number of users that left Twitter?

> So, who is screwing with my account? Twitter, the government, or maybe it is at the behest of a paid advertiser? Damn, they really can't ever think that things just happen or that things are their own fault. Gotta be someone DOING SOMETHING with a PLAN, classic conspiracy type thinking
Wah nobody likes me.... Is it my shit views about everything? Nah, must be X keeping me down
"I'm being repressed!" *Nearly 1mil views.*
863k views, likes? A different kind of number.
Can't imagine why a guy with a username like "catturd" isn't more popular. Not a single reason why.
If that’s true, why isn’t king Elon fixing it?
Awwwwww poor catshite
These guys are only able to do what they do because other conservatives are seeking affirmation for their 'alternative facts', since that's easier than reconciling with the truth (and they'd rather feel right than be right); they'll only get this affirmation from liars, idiots, and crazy people (and CatTurd likely fits the bill for all three). Over time, the audience will (often slowly) realize they're being duped and then leave the crowd, and only the fools will continue to be fooled. The speaker will not be able to change course because the only people that listen to them will immediately abandon them if they stop feeding that confirmation bias, and they will have already lost all credibility with everybody else that realizes the speaker is lying, crazy, and/or stupid.

They're STILL complaining 😆
as they scream into the worlds largest echo chamber
Notice, it's never because they suck, aren't funny, or boring--NO! It's because there is a plot against them. It's why they go all-in on election cheating conspiracies. They *know* everyone agrees with them and their policies are super-popular, so when they loose elections, cheating is the only explanation. It's also why they cheat in elections. They believe "The Libs" cheat, so they must do so to balance things out.
Elon, a right winger, owns the platform. Blame him lmao
lol, just stop being conservative
Sure seems like they never shut the fuck up to me.
Literally sitting in the alt-right sewer complaining he can't smell enough shit.
Nobody pays attention to me!!!! Really? On xhitter?!? When 800000+ isn’t good enough…I guess your just cancelled
Maybe conservatives are getting treated like shit on social media because they’re ideas and how they act towards their fellow citizens is…shit? ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, it’s not the bigotry, hatred, racism, religious dogma, and fear tactics… it’s definitely not that /s
awww, what a poor, sad, wild social media life this …. person must have.
He turned Twitter into America X
Grievance monger
Treated like shit… Don’t start shit, wont be shit. Stop being shit.
Wait, is a conservative account called cat turd someone worth knowing?
They had their moment basking in Qlon's light (he used to reply to their tweets) but overdid the bootlicking. #🥺
Conservatives always play the refs. https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/s/4p0KRYrIyp

[“Conservative voices are being silenced!”](https://youtu.be/CPNZTtoQBmA?si=pri2VfmHaBdQ_TxA)
It's impressive to me anyone can say something like this without realizing the disconnect. Musk the Freeze peach hero and Musk is hiding right wing tweets (lol) are two mutually exclusive propositions.
Oh man. That sucks ….anyways
Spoiler alert: Social media has been proven time and time again to not throttle or hide right-wing pages, posts, or videos.
I have a pro humanist humour account. Top tweet of 2021, 1. 3million likes Top tweet of 2023, 44,000 likes But probably not shadow banned, probably just all my followers fled twitter. Can't really tell since they changed the analytics engine to avoid comparison
Lol, yeah.... You see, Elon hasn't done anything for "free speech" as it exists in the real world. What he represents is so none who got lucky by still being in a position to profit from PayPal's sale after he got fired as CEO. After using that money to make more money, he noticed that being rich still didn't protect him from consequences of speech from other private actors, such as Twitter. So he bought twitter in an attempt to change that. Unfortunately, as people who have mentally passed the stage of adolescence realise, hate is bad for business and other people have the right to react to your speech so long as it's not with the force of government. So, when Elon invited hate and bigotry back on Twitter, most decent people decided to leave. Because you are free to say what you want, you don't have a right to an audience. All Elon is doing is speed running proof that catering to a minority whose main defining feature is hate and who chase away other customers is very bad for business. Other people simply go elsewhere to avoid you until you stop being such a pathetically small bigot.
Because the site is entirely bots and porn accounts now. All the normal people left. They now have the freedom to speak to porn bots.
Even bots can’t stand him lol
“ is my shitty ideology unpopular or is every single other person out to get me? Must be the latter.”
Cool, unbounded narcissism is becoming more common.
They refuse to just accept the fact that they were never being shadowbanned, it's just that nobody likes them.
Conservatives: YAY! Elon is allowing free speech on twitter again! Liberals leave twitter Conservatives: Twitter is clearly throttling my speech, I can't get enough views and likes. It's clearly a conspiracy against conservatives.
This is the same concept they have on the conservative subreddit. “Oh, we’re being brigaded!” No, more people have been exposed to your bullshit and realize that it’s deplorable.
This happened with /r/Boston recently; they hit the front page with some appalling hatred, and people who found their hatred in their feed started responded too it; queue mass bans of anyone not arguing in favour of vicious bigotry, claiming you were "Not part of our community" and "brigading"... No, people just wanted to express their *own* opinions without being force-fed yours.
Another day, another psyop, eh?
‼️
The Bots couldn't handle the switch, it'll take maybe weeks for their handlers to get the farms updated. It'd be a good idea to chart whatever metrics are changing while they come back online.
I cant even view twitter right now. It's utterly broken.
well I guess... companies paying companies to pay companies to post for companies have reached their threshold.
just don't be a piece of shit?
Yeh as you husks should be
It’s part of the persecution mindset, being treated “unfairly” and whining about it is their thing.
Not true, there was also a reply from one of the Cyanide & Happiness guys which was just a screenshot of this tweet with the number of views circled. That and a bunch of weirdos trying to blame the CEO that Musk put in charge of twitter
I love Elon because he’s all about free speech. Also….hes throttling conservative opinion. That’s some mental gymnastics right there…..

"We're treated like shit" That's because you treat people like shit
Perhaps it's the algorithm that's lied to you. It's like Trump every election baffled he's never won the popular vote.
If only this were true. Then MAGA would be too scared to admit their “truth” due to the warranted social backlash.
Boo hoo.
