Ha ha! All the money in the world won't build you a Rantburg!

4 ^ Actually, Musk could do no better than apply something similar to Rantburg's spamcopping protocol. I envision something like a snappy graphic accompanied by a wet fart sound to cover up egregious tweets. That's all some "blue checks" would everget.

While I don't always agree with Musk's dealings.

This is a major shakeup in the Social Media industry. It promises to have the others adjusting / toning down their bias political and social formats in order to retain user keyboard time numbers.

It's a big hand and moves slowly, but it strikes with great force...

10 Bless you all for being such a large part of what makes Rantburg so wonderful. If Mr. Musk manages to drag Twitter even a quarter so far in this direction, he’ll have done the world a vast service.

18 Fascinating the things people are posting to test what was once censored.

I had no idea.
