Twitter

I don't know who Tate is but he seems awful and this is very funny. Or performance art - hard to tell these days.

I don't know who Tate is

Don’t find out. It’ll make you sad.

Pizzatate

Tate is everything bad about twitter personified.
He is toxic and even goes after really decent people for no reason other than sheer malice.

Tate tweeting that the matrix is trying to get him and then Elon posting matrix quotes is fairly wtf

Are they connected? I mean, Musk is entirely enough of a shit to be backing Tate, but he also thinks he may be the only real person in a simulation, so Matrix quotes are probably something he does frequently in all conversations.

I mean, the incel/qanon weirdo right is full of talk about redpilling and blackpilling so think it’s fair to say that Matrix references are fairly widespread in those circles.

They were posted within an hour or two of each other, could be a coincidence but seemed unlikely

I thought he had 11(?) cars?

That was 5 years ago. He was pulling in $5m a month on his Alpha Male Training Course thing apparently.

Ah see that now

Suspect I will finally be kicking the old Twitter habit in February

So we can look forwards to full manifestos from the Neo-Nazis, not just dank memes.

It will be even easier to know who to block, I guess

1/8 Idk.

2/8 Isn't it better to

3/8 actually have some sort of

4/8 long tweet you can expand rather

5/8 than having to endlessly

6/8 unrole posts

7/8 from people

8/8 ?

I quite like threads, separates it from Facebook or sub stack, can imagine we'll still get threads but now they will be like was and peace in length

Seems Twitter are stopping many non-official clients connecting. My Echofon client hasn't been able to connect for the last 8 hours or so.

HN thread about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34363743

Wonder if it's ineptitude or whether it's a strategic decision to cut off clients that don't display ads.

That might explain why my client hasn't updated last night.

Having just looked at my twitter and seen it's basically a "how shit is the UK for cycling?" stream it's looking like it might be time to disappear.

Then again, could be a blip because the fuckwit sacked all his devs.

Someone on that thread echoing my thoughts
"Talon is the only reason I used Twitter for over a year, yeah. I can't stand the site.
(Talon is also not loading any tweets at the moment)"

Falafel is the new / old Tofu? #wokerati
