Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar. As part of a “timeline takeover” — which gives advertisers “priority access to logged-in users’ first impression of the day” — conservative media nonprofit PragerU is promoting the hashtag “#DETRANS” to advertise its new film about “the stories of detransitioners.”
This is why they’re losing advertisers left, right, and center.

Yeah no way that anyone who is actually center would be happy with transphobe ads. That’s only the techno-right Elon Musk praisers that believe that because they accept technology, they’re not far right even if they are unaccepting of large swathes of society. Center implies accepting points of view in both sides, which is not compatible with intolerant stances.

This is a good time to remind people one of his kids is trans. What utter garbage he’s turned out to be.

Don’t forget the clown-car that is BlueSky, a bunch of clowns offloaded to that instead.
I’m amazed that bluesky hasn’t opened to everyone yet. The opportunity is right freaking there!
I don’t know for sure but I know their moderation is dogshit. I think they don’t want to face down the deluge of Nazis like we have had to here, they’d rather be a clique-y cool kids clubhouse of Twitter brainrot
Followers and online friends are very important to some people, but at what point do remaining Twitter users give up?
I understand there are some pathetic individuals who agree with Musk. I’m not talking about them. I mean the ones who should know better, but haven’t left yet.
What does it take for people to realize “I’m helping an utterly wretched man keep his business alive?” Don’t they realize they’re burning their all-important reputations by staying? Is it worth it to them? Why?
Can we please just stop talking about the clown in command, and his dogshit bigoted platform?
And how is this even about technology anymore?
It never was.
Seriously though, are there any better tech communities here?
Downvote Musk spam.
The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle. Don’t be a useful idiot.
Every day I miss my twitter account less and less. I now wish there was a way I could block twitter content inside news articles and such.
We’ve got it blocked at our router. The DNS server just responds with no such address.
Hijacking twitter DNS queries and redirecting to a page that only serves images of cats.
You are the hero we need! ❤️
Cats?? On the internet?!
Man, musk really fucking hates his daughter
I just realized I had no clue what her assigned gender was. Probably says something about the media I consume.
Don’t worry, it’s completely acceptable that you neither know about nor care about a billionaire’s daughter.
Nobody defies the musky chodelet!
You know how when you think of something so pungent you can kinda smell it? Well, I just smelled your comment.
Like day 2 roadkill in the summer, right?
Despite pushback from some users
Well there’s your problem. You’re still using the fascist platform.
Any active user who “pushes back” in an attempt to “fix” the fascist platform is either delusional or being disingenuous. There’s no fixing it, guys. Just walk away.
Imo the best pushback is to leave and make twitter irrelevant
The film purports to feature young people who sought gender affirming care, but now regret doing so.
This isn’t anti-trans
Consider the source
Out of context, on its own, it wouldn’t be. But if you look at who is pushing it, that changes the picture.
Twitter already sucked in its own ways, but X-formerly-known-as-twitter is so utter shit I have a hard time imagining people browsing and enjoying it.
X-formerly-known-as-twitter
I’ve also heard people call it “Twitter, desperately trying to be known as X”.
Shitter
Xitter, pronounced “shitter”.
That’s because you have a hard time imagining what it would be like to be one of the people who browses and enjoys it.
Reeeeee!
