Not to mention the billions he spent to buyTwitter (now x(sh)itter), so he could control the algorithms iot influence the masses through information warfare (lies, disinformation, propaganda) and buy donOld a “win”.

BuyTwitter, Mark. I hear the last guy ran it into the ground. Buy some newspapers too while you're at it.

Me, too... I wish we would have succeeded back then when #buytwitter movement was trying everything to make 🐦 community owned.

That's the founding common bond/affinity (it was created in parallel to the #platformcoop #BuyTwitter campaign back in 2016-17), but the conversation is pretty wide-ranging. The governance is sortition-based, with a lightly compensated moderation working group.

Thank you, Scott! My kids traded theirs for a Rivian when Musk started acting like a drugged out fascist around the time he was looking to buyTwitter. We need to keep encouraging folks to trade them in. There are scores of EV choices these days.

I made a joke a while back about buying enough shares of Meta to cover WhatsApp, and donating them to the Signal foundation.
But seeing this buyTwitter thing makes it seem more serious.
Would it be possible to raise enough money to do that?

RT @sageeb: RT @davemcclure: too much peer pressure. just HAVE to buy Twitter NOW...I got $5, anyone else want to go in with me? #buyTwitter

I remember the #coop twitter campaign. A real shame that sense didn't prevail. That said, Musk is obviously a genius....

Today is a good day to remind of this campaign. Sure, it's a long-shot, but I consider it economically worthwhile https://www.gofundme.com/buytwitter

This campaign still exists https://www.gofundme.com/buytwitter

I don’t post about posting ever but I remember the #buytwitter movement to make twitter a user coop? how different would the world be if that had happened?
