More nazis should fix the revenue issues. Advertisers love associating themselves with hated people. Advertisers hate making a profit. Forever Elone, Musk will need to share sucking dick to turn a profit. If you look on twitter you'll notice his lips are chapped.

Are you on tiktok? There's a genre of livestream where the streamer picks a controversial topic and then invites the audience to send gifts to vote for one side or the other. Of course the outcome of the vote has no effect on the world, and whether you're voting for one side or the other it's the streamer (and twitch) who get paid, but people are willing to pay good money for that little dopamine hit of seeing their side of an issue they care about win something. I feel like they're trying to turn Twitter into; a place where people pay some small monthly token to be agreed with and to feel like they're in the majority. Of course, an environment like that is almost always going to end up right wing because if Trump taught us anything it's that right wingers will buy literally anything that validates their beliefs.

How do you suggest he attract more Ukrainian posters?

What the fuck are you talking about?

Looks like a Twitter escapee managed to find their way here

Oh look, Lemmy's got "block user" functionality. I think I'll take it out for a spin on this nitwit.

I can’t believe you would take issue with me getting mad at a guy who was implying that Ukrainians are Nazis. Twitter is full of those kinds of people, and that is what I was making reference to. Why did that make you so mad?

I don't think they did. I think the nazi was the fuckwit, but they were responding to what you wrote.

Ah. Because it showed up in my inbox as a direct reply to my comment, I thought I was the one being blocked. But now I see it wasn’t ME being referenced. Thanks for clarifying.
