They use to tell us we couldnt trust Wikipedia. Now we know. Wikipedia is the only website you can trust.
  • Elon Musk's frustration with Wikipedia seems to come from his inability to control what it says about him, rather than any issues with the platform itself.

    After what he's done to Twitter, Elon just want the world’s most popular encyclopaedia bend towards his will.

    People should consider using alternative platforms like Mastodon and WreMin. These platforms are in the early stages of development, but they will never be controlled by Elon or anyone else because, unlike Twitter, they work in a decentralized way.

  • Elon Musk Offers to Also Ruin Wikipedia
  • Much of Musk’s consternation with Wikipedia appears to be less about its features but more about his inability to control what it says about him.

    After ruining Twitter, Elon just want the world’s most popular encyclopaedia bend towards his will.

    People should seriously consider the possibility of migrating to alternative platforms like Mastodon and WireMin. While these platforms may still be in their early stages, they will never be controlled by Elon or anyone else. Because unlike Twitter, which operates on central servers controlled by Elon, Mastodon and WireMin are decentralized. And it’s important to convey to Elon that X is fundamentally reliant on us, the users.

    An official video from X hints at what's about to come. The first 30 secs, I feel nothing but discomfort.
  • Musk is actively trying to kill Twitter.

    First Twitter blue, then "use your data to train AI", but the problem is why you still on Twitter? Elon Musk becomes billionaires by stealing your data and privacy. I really dont get it why people still stick to Twitter...

    Anyway, if you are still looking for an alternative: I recommend Scuttlebutt and WireMin. They are both decentralised and this makes "stalking" impossible essentially.

  • Will you be willing to pay for using Twitter?

    Elon Musk may flip the switch to make X — the social network formerly known as Twitter — an entirely subscription-based platform. Musk brought up the idea of charging all users of X/Twi…

    Elon Musk Suggests He Will Charge All X/Twitter Users a Fee to Be on the Platform

    Elon Musk said he will charge all X/Twitter users a fee to be on the platform. He suggested that such a change would be necessary to deal with the problem of bots on the platform.

    “It’s the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots," said Elon. I can’t believe that this is the only solution he can think of.

    Dealing with bots would be Elon Musk’s responsibility, considering he’s the only one profiting significantly from X, not us. Elon Musk steals our data and censors each of our posts, now he even expects us to pay to clean up the mess he created.

    Plus, the problems with X go beyond just bots. The algorithm and programming decisions are negatively impacting user experience and manipulating people’s minds.

    We want a town square where everyone is free to have & voice an opinion. I do not believe we have to pay ”a small monthly payment” for such a place, especially in a country that should value these freedoms & suppressing ideas.

    Why are some people still staying at Twitter?
  • There're tons of reasons to leave Twitter.

    The most recent cause is the highly invasive privacy policy, allowing Twitter (x) to exploit your words for Musk's AI projects and granting them authority to investigate your life beyond Twitter—such as your employment background and other personal information.

    Giving Musk such permission seems risky.

    I'm on Mastodon and Wiremin rn. Using Mastodon to track up to date news and Wiremin to stay connected with contacts.
