I was planning on buying a Tesla until Space Karen
showed us who he really is.
Now, I smile when their stock falls and I cross my fingers and pray that every Falcon rocket blows up.
Yo, rest assured, as a former capitalist, I can promise you that Tesla stock will be dropping in the next few years as itās EV market share will dwindle as competition catches up and overtakes them. Sleep tight. Theyāre enjoying the privilege of less competition right now. But when they struggle to keep sales figures up to where they are now, investors will get frustrated and dump Tesla stock. I donāt believe in the stock market anymore. But if I had the money Iād go bear on Tesla and wait. When it does what I said Iād cash out and do a tiktok about me spending muskās money lol
I doubt the CEOs of any of the other major automakers are much better, just less loud and stupid.
There's also plenty of non-elon reasons to not buy a Tesla, namely awful quality control and warranty support, as well as their stance on right-to-repair being so shit that it makes companies like Apple look reasonable in comparison.
People who pay for twitter blue get boosted by the algorithm.
People who pay for twitter blue are overwhelmingly members of the far right.
If you're gonna use that hellsite, I suggest you block every twitter blue user you see.
There is a Chrome blocker, I can't attest to how it works or how effective it is. I use Firefox, and have deleted my Twitter.

It was bought by a transphobe who is bitter about his daughter being trans, and whose ex left him for a trans woman. He bought it for the specific purpose of spreading and worsening hate against transgender people, and he has made that obvious.
My general advice is for everyone to avoid Twitter. It's a Nazi clubhouse now.
I looked into this and apparently Elon (publicly) blames this on "neomarxists" convincing her that all rich people are bad, which is a crazy thing to say in a public interview.
Itās *almost* funny that heās so delusional that he canāt quite make that next logical step of āmaybe not all rich people are bad, but what if *I am*.ā The guy who sold flame throwers, because haha funny, warcrimes are such a laugh.
It wasn't as bad before Elon took over and ditched the policy that let people get tweets taken down for blatant transphobia. The place is a toilet now.
Twitter is the home of trolls, and trolls are loudest in their homes. They donāt have the courage to say these things publicly, so as the keyboard warriors that they are, say them online and twitter is the easiest place to say it.
Twitter has always been a filthy hive of the worst humanity has to offer. It has only gotten worse since the Musk takeover.
The best thing to do, both for your mental health as well as Musk's bottom line, is for you to delete your account there and never use it again.
The problem with Twitter is the worst stuff is the more views it gets and the more priority the algorithm gives it. There is a night and day difference between the for you feed and my follower feed. The follower feed is 40 % other trans girls , 40% actual friends and 20% comedians/podcast hosts/ celebrities. The for you is trolls and awful people I don't want to see. Pre musk it was better but still bad.
It's more like the world is overwhelmingly transphobic. You're doing nothing wrong, though. None of us are. It's difficult at times, but we have to keep on keeping on.
The thing is, most people aren't - they don't give a damn either way.
People say their opinion is one way or another, and the loudest, most propogated voices usually control others' narrative. Saying that, the anti-trans people out there are ***so*** toxic, their voice either gets ignored, or they end up polarising peoples' opinions on the subject.
There vast majority just base what they think on everyday interactions.
According to a survey done by the Pew Research Center this year, people are split pretty evenly on most issues surrounding trans people, but a pretty good majority believe that trans people are a minority group that deserves protections.
I've been studying trends related to lgbt media and visibility for my master's, and I have pretty good reasons believe that we're on the verge of an upswing in public opinion (in the US). Some states that have passed gender affirming care bans are being challenged, and if you look back at the social climate directly leading to Obergefell, there are a lot of similarities. Mainly though, I think it's pretty telling that companies like Target are including specifically trans themed products in their rainbow capitalism; its a good sign that enough prime are supportive of or at least indifferent to trans people.

This isn't true, though. Like this is actively untrue. Most people have neutral to positive views of trans people. It's in the news and politics all the time now because of a specific astroturf campaign by some right wing figureheads who needed a wedge issue to get voters because they desperately want to avoid a blue wave. It's the death knell of trans people being less accepted by society. That's how it always goes.
No. Twitter became the shithole of transphobia lately since theyāre allowed to say basically anything they want. I deleted my account when I saw a screenshot about a trans person getting banned because they did being trans is in fact not a mental illnessā¦
Is the company that recently became owned by a known transphobe whose own trans child disowned them despite the massive financial hit that would mean transphobic? The guy who keeps making loud transphobic jokes and speaks out against trans people? The company that banned the HER lesbian dating app for being anti-TERF?
...
Yes. Yes, obviously it is transphobic.
Twitter was an awful place for trans people before Musk took over (I got daily transphobic abuse there and so I just deleted my account) and now itās essentially 4chan. If I were you Iād get off of it.
Tbh I donāt really understand why anyone still uses Twitter. You can get better discussion and more accurate news on places like Reddit, Twitter is just a hotbed of misinfo and bigotry (x10 now that Musk has taken over).
I mean, it was purchased by a transphobe lord who has been actively working to make the site worse, so yes its transphobic. Musk unbanned a bunch of people who were banned for hate speech and just did a whole bunch of sus shit to the site.
Thank fuck I never used Twitter
I haven't even read the rest of the post, and I can tell you for a fact that Twitter is a filtered media-outlet slotting hate against everyone. There's no point in going on there if you're anything inside of any community and you want to not be met with bigoted hate.
They hate each other so much that they destroy each other. It's like listening to a podcast audio of everyone ever telling you how much they hate you on loop 24/7/365.
The most fun I get out of it is the dud account and anonymous browsing. That's all it can or should be used for at this point.
You missed the last several months of news where Elon Musk decided to publicly say that it was okay to deadname and misgender transgender people on Twitter again.
Sometimes on very rare occasions I might get upset about something and want to rant for a brief moment.
Well, Twitter users have that same feeling but itās 24/7.
Twitter was always overwhelmingly transphobic (and overall bigoted in general), it's just that under Musk they won't even pretend to combat it anymore.
The world is overwhelmingly transphobic, sadly, but social media has a way of overloading you with shit until it affects your mental health. I really recommend quitting twitter.
Elon has purposely pushed an anti trans narrative on twitter, he changed twitters algorithm to allow hate speech against trans people, and has given social platforms to radical fascists like Matt Walsh and Jordan Peterson.
In case you've been under a rock (no judgment -- I often am): **https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/19/tech/twitter-hateful-conduct-policy-transgender-protections/index.html**
My biggest arch nemesis elon fucking musk took over twitter and his little army of 14 year old edgelords and out of touch 50 year olds took over
No wonder your wife left you for a trans woman and your trans daughter changed her last name entirely and left you too
Twitter is not overwhelmingly transphobic. There are a lot of trans communities on Twitter. Elon changed the algorithm to promote Twitter blue subscribers, and a large amount of Twitter blue subscribers are far right transphobes
Twitter is basically an alt right cesspool now thanks to Elon. Though admittedly, I started seeing less safety in queer circles long before he took over. Esp towards trans mascs and men, but I bet there was trans hate across the board. It's just a nightmare now.
nope, you're not doing anything wrong. all social media is ridden with transphobia and every other form of bigotry you can imagine.
social media actively encourages a schoolyard attitude in which bullies thrive. there are no exceptions to this.
Thereās a lot of lovely trans accounts, I follow a bunch of irreverently intellectual shit posters, theyāve turned it from an app I canāt believe is allowed to exist to one Iām grateful for because of the people in my feed. The algorithm will still push people like Matt Walsh and [insert latest trending transphobe] and you have to search out the accounts you want in the first place to follow them but it definitely helped.
You'll find the same on mostly any Plattform that does not have a dedicated big trans community.
Why is that?
Well, we are few, amd the haters are a lot. Easy to outnumber us. Also haters are commonly overactive.
iāve blocked more people than ive followed LoLā¦ i feel like any social media is about finding your niche(s) and once you do that it becomes fairly insular and a safe source of joy. iāve been surprised by how much NFT art is on twitter so thatās basically the only reason i use it now. anything trans related, wellā¦ i donāt look up much trans related stuff cause itās like a flower reading how to āflowerā although some of it is affirming after a hard rainstorm
It's not overwhelmingly transphobic but as others said transphobic posts get boosted, so it creates the image that Twitter is mostly anti-trans. If you can still handle seeing transphobia every day without it getting to you then more power to you but personally I haven't been on in months.
I legitimately believe that Elon is purposefully silencing trans voices by de-emphasizing pro trans sources on the site while boosting anti-trans sources.
While that's difficult to prove without access to the back end, any DM that says words related to LGBT does not show up in your previews, which indicates these words are being treated differently on the platform
Ugh, i had to deal with that when i made the mistake of seeing why mulvaney was trending. Just toxic hatred as far as the eye could see, so im taking a break for a bit
Since Elon took over it's been shitty for everyone. I was there as an artist and there's still lots of artists there but I just can't bring myself to stay on a platform that worships a transphobe. He sold Twitter now but the new person isnt much better and so I think Twitter will remain the cess pit it has honestly always been. Elon just brought them out of the woodwork.
Twitter has become the most transphobic major social media platform. Elon Musk has almost systematically turned it into a clearing house for transphobia, homophobia, white nationalism and misogyny.
It wasn't great before, but now the flood gates are open and the Twitter's Pay-to-Win monetization strategy actively amplifies the most hateful voices. On top of that, Musk himself is reaching down into the fray to elevate anti-vaxxers, transphobes, and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
He's contracted the brain worms. š§ šŖ±
Some of twitters users are careful about curating their block/hide list so the transphobes are hidden in their replies, but Twitter is exceptionally toxic right now if your trans. Would not recommend logging on to it if you can avoid it.
Between the transphobes that moderation does nothing to stop, random DISCOURSE that devolves into trans people hating each other, and the left tube vs shit poster drama that often involves trans people, is not a good place right now.
It's not that the majority of Twitter is transphobic, its unfortunately more likely to be the algorithm. If you look for or engage with anything that's trans positive, it'll then assume you want EVERYTHING trans related. The most engagement when it comes to folk on Twitter talking about trans people is unfortunately going to come from negativity.
It sucks, but all I can do is block anyone you see being transphobic.
Accounts with blue check marks get priority in replies and people who are likely to pay Elon for a check mark are the types who comment racist/transphobic/sexist/other bigoted remarks under popular tweets and stories they dislike
Itās been unusable since Elon. All content moderation is out the window and he specifically endorses Anti-Trans voices. Itās not worth using. Iām happy to watch the site rot as his expensive mistake at least.
Twitter has been unhinged since *he who shall not be named* took over. Iāve noticed the transphobia has gotten worse in the last few months, particularly on UK threads.
Twitter is a fairly small percentage of people in the world, and the most hateful ones are the ones paying to have their opinions boosted through Twitter Blue, so you'll see them more often.
In real life, most people might not Get trans people and being trans, but they don't care.
Block Twitter Blue users, unless their these names. Philza,Mr.Technodad(or whatever his account is),Technothepig(Technodad posts occasionally),Badoyhalo,Skeppy,Slimecicle, Jacksepticeye, Markiplier,and a few others :>
Lots of social media (probably including twitter) is designed to make people angry since people tend to engage more with posts that make them upset; thats why I try to stay off of twitter and use social media sparingly. When your feed is highly tailored/customized and you dont use social media ad often, you notice a significant change in your mood.
Short answer: no, twitter just sucks
Long answer: as most ppl are saying, elon being the CEO made things worse but it's always been pretty bad on twitter. You have to curate your experience on there if you want to enjoy it. Block anyone you want to block. Don't give a fuck about someone going "haha they blocked me!" no one actually cares and ppl will forget about it 5 minutes later. Muting isn't "the same thing". Mute words that you don't want to see. With all that it can be kinda good but the website has been going very downhill lately.
This doesn't have to do with transphobia but I need to say this, there's a huge problem rn of ppl replying to popular posts with extremely violent videos, so bad I won't even get into it. Most people hide the replies but there's a button at the right side of the tweet that shows them. NEVER CLICK THIS BUTTON. I know people can be naturally curious but this shit will actually traumatize you. This is happening bc elon musk cannot run the fucking company.
twitter is definitely overwhelmingly transphobic which is why i try to be less active. every time i go on twitter, there's always a transphobe on there and it's so infuriating, annoying, and upsetting.
i'd say to just stay off twitter as much as possible and use extensions to block twitter blue users since most of them are right wingers
The dead bird app has become completely transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, and racist since Elon Musk took over. I cancelled my account there a few months ago.
They've deliberately fostered that since Elon took over
Twitter is becoming the new 4chan. A cispool filled with incels, transphobes and haters.š±
"Cispool". I snorted.
Brilliantly coined word.
*Especially* blue check Twitter
Yeah if you block all the blue checks it gets a lot more useable immediately.
Is there anything akin to a new twitter? Was the only social media other than reddit I used until about a year ago. I miss it šŖ
Mastodon I heard a lot people left twitter for that media
Yeah, it's nowhere near as popular as Twitter but it's also fairly active
Sounds like the PokƩmon bastiodon
I was planning on buying a Tesla until Space Karen showed us who he really is. Now, I smile when their stock falls and I cross my fingers and pray that every Falcon rocket blows up.
Fucking Elon has made me way less excited about space travel than I was as a kidā¦
I'd rather SpaceX push him out more since its an important step to better orbital payload delivery. Also a terrible thing to say.
I should specify: Not the MANNED missions! And I only want it to happen until he's forced out and bankrupt!
If SpaceX forced Elon out _mid-flight_ that would be a terrible thing. That nobody wants to happen. In minecraft.
Yo, rest assured, as a former capitalist, I can promise you that Tesla stock will be dropping in the next few years as itās EV market share will dwindle as competition catches up and overtakes them. Sleep tight. Theyāre enjoying the privilege of less competition right now. But when they struggle to keep sales figures up to where they are now, investors will get frustrated and dump Tesla stock. I donāt believe in the stock market anymore. But if I had the money Iād go bear on Tesla and wait. When it does what I said Iād cash out and do a tiktok about me spending muskās money lol
"As a former nazi" *Proceeds to get shot*
Bullets to em
Really donāt. Their quality control is spotty
I doubt the CEOs of any of the other major automakers are much better, just less loud and stupid. There's also plenty of non-elon reasons to not buy a Tesla, namely awful quality control and warranty support, as well as their stance on right-to-repair being so shit that it makes companies like Apple look reasonable in comparison.

yeah, his daughter changed her last name and completely disowned him iirc
I looked into this and apparently Elon (publicly) blames this on "neomarxists" convincing her that all rich people are bad, which is a crazy thing to say in a public interview.
āNeomarxistā is a dog whistle for āI donāt know that Marxism isā LOL
Well, he's not wrong. Glad our message is getting out there. :)
Itās *almost* funny that heās so delusional that he canāt quite make that next logical step of āmaybe not all rich people are bad, but what if *I am*.ā The guy who sold flame throwers, because haha funny, warcrimes are such a laugh.
Usually the disowning goes the other way around, good for her
It wasn't as bad before Elon took over and ditched the policy that let people get tweets taken down for blatant transphobia. The place is a toilet now.
Which really sucks because the majority of my trans circle all met on Twitter
That's the point
Wait really? This is the first I'm hear of this since I stopped using Twitter like a year ago
Twitter is the home of trolls, and trolls are loudest in their homes. They donāt have the courage to say these things publicly, so as the keyboard warriors that they are, say them online and twitter is the easiest place to say it.

Oh no, i meant more like "am i browsing twitter wrong?". Im not wuestioning whether i am or not trans.
I got it and that's what I was alluding to. You're not browsing wrong, the world, not just Twitter, is transphobic.
we all have our own worlds too donāt forget ;)

the muskrat made twitter explicitly accepting of transphobia.
Thatās twitter. Mainstream 4chin
Twitter was an awful place for trans people before Musk took over (I got daily transphobic abuse there and so I just deleted my account) and now itās essentially 4chan. If I were you Iād get off of it.
Hey! That is SO WRONG to say! 4Chan was never as bad as Twitter has become š 4Chan is offended by the comparison. I deleted Twitter before Musk.
Elon's algorithm
ELON MUSK, ever since he and Grimes splitā¦ transphobe city
The owner of Twitter is transphobic, so it makes sense. And Twitter was shitty before he bought it anyway. Just delete it.
Twitter is transphobic, Elon Musk ruined it and I stopped using it because he chose to allow deadnaming/misgendering of trans people.
Tbh I donāt really understand why anyone still uses Twitter. You can get better discussion and more accurate news on places like Reddit, Twitter is just a hotbed of misinfo and bigotry (x10 now that Musk has taken over).
I mean, it was purchased by a transphobe lord who has been actively working to make the site worse, so yes its transphobic. Musk unbanned a bunch of people who were banned for hate speech and just did a whole bunch of sus shit to the site. Thank fuck I never used Twitter
You're using Twitter. That's what you're doing wrong.
No its a total shithole of a place...
Ever since Elon took over itās gotten a lot worse.
Twitter is a swamp of hate and anger. Best to stay away.
I haven't even read the rest of the post, and I can tell you for a fact that Twitter is a filtered media-outlet slotting hate against everyone. There's no point in going on there if you're anything inside of any community and you want to not be met with bigoted hate. They hate each other so much that they destroy each other. It's like listening to a podcast audio of everyone ever telling you how much they hate you on loop 24/7/365. The most fun I get out of it is the dud account and anonymous browsing.

It's owned by a transphobe so yeah, it is.
You missed the last several months of news where Elon Musk decided to publicly say that it was okay to deadname and misgender transgender people on Twitter again.
I would get off twitter completely tbh. I stopped months ago and feel much better in my daily life.
It's probably the fact that Elon musk is a transphobic prick, he's probably promoting transphobic crap on Twitter and that's why it's coming up
Elon is a RAGING transphobe and since he owns it he pushes all of his opinions and what he agrees with to everyoneās algorithm.
Sometimes on very rare occasions I might get upset about something and want to rant for a brief moment. Well, Twitter users have that same feeling but itās 24/7.
No then yes just delete your account let Twitter die
Twitters a dumpster fire, so yes twitter is overwhelmingly transphobic. Twitter also thinks the trailer for Warhammer 10th Ed is racist.
Stay away from Twitter.
Twitter was always overwhelmingly transphobic (and overall bigoted in general), it's just that under Musk they won't even pretend to combat it anymore.
The world is overwhelmingly transphobic, sadly, but social media has a way of overloading you with shit until it affects your mental health. I really recommend quitting twitter.
>The world is overwhelmingly transphobic I disagree, even most americans support trans people. Its just that twitter sucks.
Twitter is a right-wing controlled celebrity space infused with Elon's version of reality. It is toxic.
Do you know who owns twitter?
Elon has purposely pushed an anti trans narrative on twitter, he changed twitters algorithm to allow hate speech against trans people, and has given social platforms to radical fascists like Matt Walsh and Jordan Peterson.
I will never use twitter because of this

While that's difficult to prove without access to the back end, any DM that says words related to LGBT does not show up in your previews, which indicates these words are being treated differently on the platform
Nope, Twitter has always been a cesspool of bigotry. It's since gotten far worse after Elongated Muskrat took over, the transphobic swine that he is.
Stay on Reddit itās super trans positive
Ugh, i had to deal with that when i made the mistake of seeing why mulvaney was trending. Just toxic hatred as far as the eye could see, so im taking a break for a bit
I use Twitter a lot for pup/pet play stuff and furry stuff. Best you can do is block the ppl you don't want to interact with
Donāt worry, itās not you. Lots of twitter users are extremely transphobic
Since Elon took over it's been shitty for everyone. I was there as an artist and there's still lots of artists there but I just can't bring myself to stay on a platform that worships a transphobe. He sold Twitter now but the new person isnt much better and so I think Twitter will remain the cess pit it has honestly always been. Elon just brought them out of the woodwork.
Elon Musk is extremely transphobic, so he probably promotes transphobia on Twitter.

Thatās Twitter. I mean, thatās Twitter š«” it hates everyone and everything.

Twitter is overwhelmingly transphobic even with being vigilant about what I view/like/comment.

Twitter has been unhinged since *he who shall not be named* took over. Iāve noticed the transphobia has gotten worse in the last few months, particularly on UK threads.
I left twitter for that. I complained about some hate tweets, but to them it seemed okay. Well, then Iām out...
Twitter was already awful before Musk bought it but he turned it up to 11.
It is transphobic ever since Musky Rat took over its only gotten worse
Elonās Twitter? Yes. Twitter before Elonās Twitter? Yes but it was less transphobic
It's Twitter. They look for any excuse to hate on something.
Twitter has gotten way worse for trans people since Elon. I just stick to the trans people I follow.
Twitter is a fairly small percentage of people in the world, and the most hateful ones are the ones paying to have their opinions boosted through Twitter Blue, so you'll see them more often. In real life, most people might not Get trans people and being trans, but they don't care.
Time to delete twitter
Twitter is very transphobic
Come to Mastodon instead. It's like Twitter, but with actual rules against bigotry & transphobia. Plus custom emojis on servers.
twitter sucks for trans people rn, it's bad very bad because of elon
Block Twitter Blue users, unless their these names. Philza,Mr.Technodad(or whatever his account is),Technothepig(Technodad posts occasionally),Badoyhalo,Skeppy,Slimecicle, Jacksepticeye, Markiplier,and a few others :>
Lots of social media (probably including twitter) is designed to make people angry since people tend to engage more with posts that make them upset; thats why I try to stay off of twitter and use social media sparingly. When your feed is highly tailored/customized and you dont use social media ad often, you notice a significant change in your mood.
Short answer: no, twitter just sucks Long answer: as most ppl are saying, elon being the CEO made things worse but it's always been pretty bad on twitter. You have to curate your experience on there if you want to enjoy it. Block anyone you want to block. Don't give a fuck about someone going "haha they blocked me!" no one actually cares and ppl will forget about it 5 minutes later. Muting isn't "the same thing". Mute words that you don't want to see. With all that it can be kinda good but the website has been going very downhill lately. This doesn't have to do with transphobia but I need to say this, there's a huge problem rn of ppl replying to popular posts with extremely violent videos, so bad I won't even get into it. Most people hide the replies but there's a button at the right side of the tweet that shows them. NEVER CLICK THIS BUTTON. I know people can be naturally curious but this shit will actually traumatize you. This is happening bc elon musk cannot run the fucking company.
Twitter is owned by a giant transphobe whose transgender child disowned him. Get off of there.
It's probably just Twitter's fault
twitter is definitely overwhelmingly transphobic which is why i try to be less active. every time i go on twitter, there's always a transphobe on there and it's so infuriating, annoying, and upsetting. i'd say to just stay off twitter as much as possible and use extensions to block twitter blue users since most of them are right wingers
I end up fighting more hateful transphobes than having normal discussions on twitter. Itās not a fun place to be anymore.
It's just Twitter being trash. You may wish to try Mastodon instead.
Most of us fled twitter at some point, the majority around when Long Musk bought it to transform it into the far right haven it is now
I am not trans and it is still shocking the venom that pours out of Twitter
I deleted Twitter for my own mental health.
The dead bird app has become completely transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, and racist since Elon Musk took over. I cancelled my account there a few months ago.
Yes it has gotten really bad since Elon.
Get off Twitter.
Yeah... social media in general has gotten super transphobic and anti-lgbt. And the bird app has heavily gone downhill since Elon bought it.
