Every time I think wtf is he doing, I remember about this theory he is destroying twitter on purpose, because it was a network with to much influence for example the arab spring.
He has a point though. Just think of Reddit and Lemmy where people mindlessly hive-mind vote some posts. When you see something massively upvoted, you tend to upvote (immediately). Same goes for downvotes. In contrary, if the votes do no show, you only vote when you actually mean it.
A few weeks ago, X’s director of engineering, Haofei Wang, said the upcoming change is meant to protect users’ public image — because “many people feel discouraged” to like “edgy” content.
Following the publication of this story, X owner Elon Musk reshared a screenshot of it, saying it’s “important to allow people to like posts without getting attacked for doing so!”
Thin-skinned Nazis don’t like being called Nazis for liking other Nazi content.

That’s the fucking point, Wang. Nazis should be discouraged from liking other Nazi content. Society shouldn’t tolerate bigots, much less embolden them- the way you and your boss want to do.
Elon Musk trying to be “edgy” and just coming off like the most divorced man on Earth is pretty funny. I’m still not using Vichy Twitter but it is funny watching a grown ass, 52 year-old man try to be an edgelord.
Pays $40 billion to allow people to be shadow toxic. What an amazing innovator in our midsts. We’re all just so jealous we wish we could be so genius …

“We’ve listened to our users who’ve voice concerns about being labeled ‘racist piece of shit’ merely for supporting tweets that suggest that other races are less human than white people. Today we’re doubling down on our own brand of ‘freedom of speech’ to mean ‘freedom from consequences’. From today forward, twitter users will be safe and comfortable voicing their (anonymous) support for the most disgusting racist, homophobic, or misogynistic tweets imaginable.” -Twitter PR probably
No no no. It’s not like that! Twitter doesn’t have a PR team. They were fired 2 years ago. Along with tech support. Plus twitter doesn’t exist. Only X which continues to bring the worst ideas forward to make the world full of shit.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Am I the only one that thought this was a picture of Kim Jong Un?
The funny thing is, it’s not actually hidden if you know how to see them. Just throw “/likes” after a profile. They only hid the fucking button.
Just another step toward making used-to-be-Twitter a safe space for cowardly fascists.
They’re going the YT route, where the algorithm is in much higher control
That’s such a good photo. And by good I mean Trump-tier

This reminded me of the Jar Jar Binks is a Sith lord theory
Jar Jar was one day in the senate and his first move was everything palpatine wants. He is a sneaky sith overlord.
Hey Elon, wouldn’t it be better for us all to not only show the likes but show the dislikes too? Even on your account.

Something something "free speech "
Oh my god, he’s trying to make it Reddit.

is there any other social platform that hasn’t always done this?
What platforms hide your likes?
lemmy, reddit, youtube

Fucking moron.
Might have been a bad idea to just let the bots run rampant on his platform.
How else was he supposed to keep the user base up!???

Wow! I just use an alt for my shit posting and likes. Guess my raciest uncle hasn’t figured that out yet thankfully.
This platform is dying a slow slow death. Really wish more people where on Mastodon
Please tell me you meant racist and not raciest
That would be impossible, for I am the raciest uncle!
Edit: And before my inbox fills up, I’m only into Weird Aunts with a balanced cat/tattoo ratio.
How about “X is about to start sending everyone to Mastodon”.
