Elon/Twitter/and stories from the sh!tter?

Musk's big point about open source is the algorithm(s) that's used to boost and bury tweets. He wants to open it up to the public so it's transparent.

OMG that could be THE most replied to tweet ever. And the vitriol will be gold!
This is actually good for Trump haters. Twitter will bring out the worst in him and most Americans will be reminded why he lost in 2020.

Frankly, I’m not a Twitter user or follower, so I’ll just sit back and watch the dumpster fire.

He might not come back even if he is reinstated. They asked him when all this started and he said I don't think so. Well see.

Um, this could get interesting... "Authenticating all humans"? So he's going to revive free speech, but only so long as you show him your papers?

I haven't followed whatever his truth social thing is. I wonder if he has a stake in it that he's stuck with it. Because otherwise agree 100 percent
He'll come back to Twitter but it won't be right away. Probably sometime after the midterms maybe early next year. The lefties are already freaking out as it is and Elon has enough on his plate.

... shadow banning. Twitter has written source code that follows certain posters or certain words. If the posters use certain words they get error messages when they post OR they have to modify their post.
Recently I made a twitter post about a bike ride and the unfortunate fact that I had a flat tire after running over a metal screw.

Well, the word "screw" set off bells and whistles, apparently. I had to modify the post. So I instead ran over a "metal shard". :)

Hearing some crazy conspiracy rumors connecting Musk, Amber Heard, domestic violence, and twitter purchase.

How could he authenticate humans without disclosing/revealing their identities? I wish that would happen with Instagram
He can't. But probably a third or more of actual Twitter users (not the bots) would quit if they had to disclose their identities.

Why do you think identities should be disclosed on Instagram???
Utilizing "celebrities" and "athletes" and influencers is a big part of advertising on instagram. Followers are bought from services and it would be nice to know how many are "real" people etc in deciding whether it's worth having them promote your products. So if an mls player with 100,000 followers wants to promote your products in a story for $1,500 it'd be nice to know how many of those are actually followers.

And I'm not saying they should be disclosed, for myriad reasons, only it would be nice from a business standpoint
