The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

unfortunate shark issues

I follow a number of artists on X-Twitter who I'd never have encountered otherwise, and usually they also have an art gallery site as well. I'm hoping more of them head over to Bluesky so I can continue following them.

Using Twitter to show your art is about exposure. If I had a game project far enough along and I was proud enough about, you bet I would be posting screenshots and concept art in places beyond the likes of Itch.io.

The problem is that like 90% of artists now post exclusively on X, including the ones who used to be regulars elsewhere. So on top of everything else, I'm convinced that site infects people with a mindvirus that makes them forget there's a rest-of-the-internet out there.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

To be fair to the mind virus: there was a long period where functionally everyone had a twitter account. Sheer numbers meant it wasn't necessarily worth it to make the effort on other services.

Well, the original Twitter investors got some money out of him, so we know it's possible. Just gotta find the right angle.

Even BETTER idea!

Well buy as much stock as we can in publicly traded social media. Then we just start blasting him over everything on all those systems: force him to buy as many social media platforms as we can. He goes bankrupt, we get rich.

Musk just keeps doing stuff like that. The rescue diver incident from a few years ago comes to mind.

If a billionaire wants to throw out actionable claims (and consequently free money.) who are we to stop them?

God it feels so long since we heard anything from the backers that Elon snookered into lending him money. Feel like we should check in on them right?


Oh. Oh wow.

Ironbite-that's...that's not good.
