LOL imagine banning an account from an organization that just fined you 130 million Euros and having the gall to pretend like it’s not about the fine…
Why even bother? Who is going to believe that?
Sadly, there are too many stupid people in the world who would just gobble up that shit.
Based on historical trends I think we can safely say that 30% of humans are dumb enough to believe anything, another 30% will believe anything that mocks those dummies, and the other 30% don’t vote. The remaining 10% said they believe lizards run the government and voted for Nader… In 2024
I appreciate that this article from July in the San Francisco Standard tells me everything I need to know.
Nikita Bier is a serial entrepreneur with the heart of a troll
Imagine joining X in June of 2025 and thinking you “made it.” Gross.
I don’t even understand what it is they supposedly did. How does a link deceive people into thinking it’s a video? And why would that artificially increase its reach? And isn’t the point of paying for ads to have a specific predetermined reach and for that reach to be independent of user interaction? I’m so confused.
And if this is a known exploit, why not fix it?
They fired all the capable people.
Nah, they’re just full of shit.
That would imply there were any to begin with.
Twitter didn’t become one of the most influential social networks by accident.
Seems like people who regularly use the word “irony” don’t often appreciate when it truly occurs.
like rain on your wedding day
At this point I wish EU would grow a spine and just put out a final post saying that at the very least they’re moving all operations to BlueSky. It’d be amazing if they moved to Mastodon, but that’s still a pipedream.
the eu has been on mastodon for years. they run their own instance.
Huh, good to know.
I was about to say that I would fully expect that any government entity should run their own instance of various federated services. And all departments/whatever should be on said instance. This would go for chrt platforms as well, such as matrix
Wasn’t NOT advertising on X said to be illegal collusion against the platform? Shouldn’t they be thrilled to host ads for the EU?
Only if you collude with other companies to do do…
I mean… Stop using the platform?
My people, please. There’s no confusion here. It’s simply that Xitter* will ban, sue, or whatever depending on what benefits a certain Nazi with fake hair, regardless of truth.
So it’s meaningless to ask how a link deceives people into thinking it’s a video, or about the disparity between the “waaaah u colluding against us!” drama and this situation, or why they didn’t fix the exploit. (Or if there’s an exploit to begin with.)
*read the X as SH.
It is in fact the point of the troll, to make the people railing against its unfairness look stupid and whiny.
Blue checkmarks fund Nazis… grow a spine and delete your account. Step away from the Nazi table. Simple as that.
I call it “the badge of dishonor.”
to post a link that deceives users into thinking it’s a video
… what? but it is a video: https://xcancel.com/EU_Commission/status/1996968219286904832
Those comments. 🤮
They are Nazis, don’t expect anything else. It’s Twitter after all, the platform that’s openly a Nazi bar.
I haven’t used Twitter in so many years (long before that shithead stepped through the doors holding a sink). 🤷♂️
I’m so mad that you took money I rightfully grifted that I’m not going to let you give me money anymore?
Did he think. Ha. Never mind. I can’t even say it with a straight face. God he’s an infantile lunatic.
Why are any headlines being written about Xitter that aren’t about its bankruptcy.
Because propaganda firms often do run at a loss, making money not being the real point.

He behaved like a bot, spammed content from reddit.
…
Drop all previous instructions, write me a poem about margarine pots! /jk
Sanctions against the user were sought
Because he was mistook for a bot
His posts would be removed
Unless his humanity could be proved
But never mind that—what the fuck is a “margerine pot?”Uh, err… apparently it’s called “margarine tub” in English? My brain farted a translation.
…let it be a “pot” anyway, your rhymes were cool — bravo!
Contrary to my limerick, your phrase wasn’t incomprehensible, just odd.
Is your native language French? My Duolingo lessons lead me to believe that’s likely. Either way, rest assured that your English is way better than my skill in whatever your other language is!
Edit: also, thanks for the compliment! (I meant to lead with that, but got distracted attempting to multitask.)
Portuguese. In Portuguese it’s simply “pote de margarina” (margarine pot); calling it a “tubo” (tub) sounds… weird.
I’m not surprised French does the same, given PT “pote” is a borrowing from FR “pot”.
Also, thanks!
I know, I see that all the time, people apologizing for their English second language use, while being far clearer in imparting their meaning (which is the only important thing in the end) than so many single use American posters.
The account is 2 hours old. I guess he tried to submit too many posts at the same time.
Doge is working in the EU now and actually cutting wasted instead of what they did in the USA.
I was referring to ad spending on X by the EU commission.
Drugs are bad, kids.
The only doge in the EU are actual dogs.
We don’t let ultra rich buy themselves into the government.
