Alex Jones and his conspiracy theories are allowed back on X
Elon Musk created a poll on Saturday asking users to vote on whether Alex Jones should be reinstated. After the majority voted "Yes," the conspiracy theorist best known for calling the Sandy Hook massacre a hoax was given his X account back.

Twitter turning into Truth Social?
As far as I'm concerned it's already there. 70% of respondents wanted Alex Jones unbanned.
Yeah it makes total sense. It's a fantastic way to make sure you only get the most gullible, hardcore idiots that are easy to make money off.
It's like those longer running scams. They have built in mechanisms to find the best marks, by disqualifying anyone who might not be easy to convince early.
Same here. If you cultivate a crowd of conspiracy theorists, that have a proven track record of being easily swayed not by evidence but by lack of evidence, then you got the full-day morons eating from your hand.

Technology is inherently related to social issues. Pretending otherwise is how you get the "libertarian tech bro" company that usurps the autonomy of national elections.
This will also (assuming republicans don't further consolidate power...) likely lead to a further examination (and series of lawsuits) on how responsible a platform is for what it is platforming. Because alex jones famously got sued to hell and back for his many many many hateful and evil conspiracy theories on The Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting
None of what you mentioned is technology, or belongs in a forum like this.
Post the content you want to see.
Yeah it fucking sucks. It's mostly business news. And now it seems anything tangentially related to social networks is now fair game too. This is like having a community on pens and having a bunch of articles about books written flooding the community. "But they wrote the book initially in pen so it fits in this community".
Also occasionally random links to some "Pen Island" what ever that might be
Honestly it's more a how-to on digital piracy if anything. Nearly every submission will fixate on hating this or that company and stacking on comments about how we're sticking it to the man through one illegal method or another.
Hey. Quit using Twitter, ok?
Never joined ✌️
Is anyone even using x? What a shit hole
My account has been silent since Musk bought Twitter. I've to muster the courage to ask my mutuals to follow me on another platform or exchange Telegram handles.
It is the only social media I can still view only those I follow and in chronological order. I don't like the algorithms. I re-followed Elon for about 12 hours the other day. Then I remembered why I unfollowed.
Leaving whilst it was still Twitter was one of the best decisions I ever made. It's never too late to just step away from X.
Well, well, well, if it isn't the alt-right idiot spouting his runner-up information. I guess he's joining his crowd of idiots.
Is there a technology sub that's about technology?
same, this one is shit. the worst part is that this very post was by a moderator's bot.
I'd gladly help to moderate a better tech community if needed.

Hope it leads to harsher penalties given his recent court loss.
Elon saw how much Alex is making from his "rare earth mineral supplements" and said shit I want in. Alex lost everything in his divorce and got banned from every major platform and all it did was increase his store sales. Hell Elon is most likely asking for advice.
Twitter really must have lost about all their advertising if they think BrainMush Plus pill advertising might save them.
