I miss the old Twitter when I saw the stupid X animation.
~~Twitter~~ X is Elon Musk’s world. Pretty soon he’ll have so much control over his platform that he can practically cron kings and manipulate outcomes to fit his personal political agenda. And don’t even get me started on his whole stupid “X the everything app bullshit.
The only everything app that has succeeded so far is WeChat in China. But it’s apparently a surveillance app for the masses by the government. Seriously, why the hell would I want to link my social media account with my bank account and even my government ID? What’s the benefit in that?
I’d rather keep the digital me disconnected to the real me.
If they were to publish their source code, I believe there wouldn't be a need to promote the software, and it would naturally gain traction. I questioned about this in their official chat room, and the response was that they're working on it.
For how they gain profitability, I've also questioned them about it, cuz it is complete free to use. But think about it, consider that a decentralized network remains active and stable as long as there is a substantial number of users participating. Each user acts as a node, reinforcing the network's stability. So, if they claim to be a free and non-profit platform, I find it trustworthy.
