Elon Musk Now Wants to Charge ALL Users For Using X.

submitted by Mini to news 7 monthsSep 20, 2023 04:24:04 ago (+12/-0)     (news)

Even though this news hasn’t been proven, a small fee still means we’ll have to pay him.

I do believe it might help eliminate bots or spam, but from the moment he starts charging,
it will no longer be a social media platform for everyone. It’s pretty hilarious that freedom of speech now comes at a price.

I’m already on WireMin. Twitter is no longer my only choice when it comes to freedom of speech, especially since it’s linked to my personal information, and Elon can monitor all of my social activities there.


Decentralized social media platforms seem like the right way to go, like WireMin and Damus.

This is an anonymous board site. Take your smugness elsewhere, woman.

Fuck TwiX, but OP is a 6-day old account and sounds like a WireMin shill.

Check out u/RK comment on this page. I think you are 100% correct.

Whats is wrong with you people? Here is a anonymous board site, WireMin is likely to be one as well, so I can only choose one to stay????

[ - ] Thyhorrorcosmic103 0 points 7 monthsSep 21, 2023 04:29:07 ago (+0/-0)

Leave, shill bot.

@system

Why aren’t you banning obvious bots?

[ - ] Niggly_Puff 6 points 7 monthsSep 20, 2023 05:00:10 ago (+6/-0)

This man acted like he was the savior of humanity, bringing free speech to the world. Then he went back on the whole free speech thing. And now he wants you to pay to use his approved speech? Fuck him. Naming the place X is another retarded move. I hate this fucker more than ever.

Twitter is finished

[ - ] RK 3 points 7 monthsSep 20, 2023 05:09:55 ago (+3/-0)

X = dead

I'm all for this change because I want to see Twitter crash and burn.

[ - ] QuestionEverything 1 point 7 monthsSep 20, 2023 09:33:57 ago (+1/-0)

GAB. Come home my Red pilled brothers and sisters.

[ - ] zongongo 0 points 7 monthsSep 20, 2023 11:26:00 ago (+0/-0)

I agree, and already mentioned in a previous comment. I only do Gab and here.

[ - ] TheSimulacra 0 points 7 monthsSep 20, 2023 13:31:36 ago (+0/-0)

GAB, the site for Tucker Carlson and Trump buttfuckers.
You aren't supposed to shove the red pill up your ass you moron.

Musk brought up the idea of charging all users of X/Twitter during a wide-ranging conversation focused on AI that featured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday. “We’re moving to having a small monthly payment for use of the X system,” Musk told Netanyahu, claiming that “it’s the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots.”

Don't they require a cell number? So they can ban the number and make it a little harder. Require a US number.

"we'll" have to pay him? I never used PayPal, I never used twatter. Stop being faggots and giving a shit?

[ - ] NoRefunds 0 points 7 monthsSep 20, 2023 09:02:07 ago (+0/-0)

Good, Twitter is a piece of crap and he took it down

[ - ] x0x7 0 points 7 monthsSep 20, 2023 07:20:03 ago (+0/-0)

It's not going to work. Yes it will eliminate bots. But he fails to realize just how much people could take or leave twitter. It's just not good. That platform happens to not be worth 5 cents. It's worth a regretful moment of, fine, I'll see what's on twitter. If Instagram, Facebook, or Youtube did this it might work (still probably not), but for sure this will not work for Twitter.

Funny how it's stock was insane for a long time though, eh? It's like all these free platforms had a product... But no one could name it

[ - ] QuestionEverything 0 points 7 monthsSep 20, 2023 09:34:45 ago (+0/-0)

Its okay for spreading small stories fast. It has its merits. But mostly not.

[ - ] carnold03 0 points 7 monthsSep 20, 2023 06:18:33 ago (+0/-0)

I for one think this will be a good move.

[ - ] jigganiggaboo 0 points 7 monthsSep 20, 2023 06:09:10 ago (+0/-0)

Just stop using it. I got banned from it years ago and I honestly feel better now that I dont have my account. THis place is much better anyways although I think it could still use some improvements.

[ - ] NukeAmerica 0 points 7 monthsSep 20, 2023 05:50:16 ago (+0/-0)

And there goes that shithole

Glad to see someone is on WireMin, I do wish more people knew about WireMin. Mastodon just wasn’t enough for me; it lacked a community vibe. It felt like I was sending out posts that no one noticed.

WireMin gives me a sense of belonging, catering to geeks, privacy enthusiasts, and those seeking censorship resistance. Especially in the discovery section, it’s much easier for people to connect and have meaningful conversations, whether one-on-one or in groups. I created a feed space for myself to share hilarious programming pics. It’s rewarding to see strangers like and comment on my posts.

Overall, I’m quite satisfied with WireMin for now. At least, I don’t have to worry about fees, censorship, or privacy issues. They claim they’re free and will remain so.

@system

I think you have some shills spamming for wiremin.

If this was a high effort ironic jab at OP's obvious shillpost then it would actually be kinda clever, but since it's not it's really just sad that you're wasting time shilling to the twelve people here who will read your comment and ignore it.

Cost to post is a good idea.

For him, yes....
