          The double spaces between sentences. Tbh, it is kinda nice for readability.

            If you were taught on a typewriter, you double space for life. It’s impossible to stop once ingrained.

            OK that doesn’t show here (Firefox on Linux), I actually copied the text into an editor, and searched for double spaces, and none were found.
            Tried another Browser Falkon which uses QtWebEngine, and there are no doublespaces there either.
            So apparently some browsers render Lemmy posts differently.

            I really wish it would come back in style. I hate the single space after a full stop, it feels inadequate.

          I’m guessing most people on the internet don’t do it?

          Definitely not 😁 But that’s cool, you stand out from the crowd. For us who use an app to browse Lemmy, at least.

      Alternative conspiracy theory, he got paid to do that, as twitter even with all the bad things was a political tool against fascism and misinformation.

        Maybe, but I do think he’s dumb and egotistical enough to lack self awareness.

          He was backed by the Saudis. This money is nothing to them. They win if Twitter profits, they win if Twitter burns. I don’t thing they care.

          Once you’re that rich, the currency is favours and influence, not just money. He got in out of his depth, then got helped out by some big backers. What they offered him, in the backroom deal, I’ve no clue.

        Frankly there is no alternate conspiracy that can make this make sense. Even if the point is destroying Twitter, why does he have to be the one to personally take the reputation hit? He could downright hire some celebrity CEO to say and do all the shit he wants done, get all the flak while he relaxes on a yacht. There may or may not be backroom deals but he’s still being a chump for exposing himself like that. His business are taking hits because he’s seen as increasingly unreliable.

          Even if he loses al his companies he still has money to live on that yacht for the rest of his life,(doubt it as USA is practically funding him), he is a narcissist he wants the attention, he wants people talking about him.

          But any guess is as good as mine, maybe he is the Manchurian candidate maybe not.

        I really don’t understand this take at all. He just seems like a straight up fool to me. Even if he was coerced into destroying Twitter, why do people seriously go, “Oh no! There is literally nowhere else to have these kinds of discussions or rallying!” When there are in fact PLENTY and could even be MADE for these kinds of situations? Look at the Fediverse for example, but why stop there? You’ve got other silly social media sites that can be used the same way if someone actually tried hard enough. If those don’t work out, you can always find a way IF you truly do care enough.

          I really don’t understand this take at all.

          Reddit just like Lemmy it’s not an accurate representation of reality, yes you are all tech experts, you use Linux and Lemmy, opensource software and hate the system, the average citizen uses windows, spends his time on TikTok, meta or whatever, they will use whatever is convenient for them.

          if someone actually tried hard enough.

          People try hard enough all the time, just not in your virtual bubble.

      Twitter has roughly 240 million daily users, about half of whom are from USA. It might be a bit early to call it a ruined company.
