Unpopular opinion time (super alpha no pony edition)

@harasha456
Considering his action, fixing Twitter wasn’t part of his plans with the site…

Twitter was shit long before Musk bought it out.

Twitter was Hell Site (tongue in cheek) now it is Hell Site (literal), converging on being like the other Hell Sites. Prior it was just throwing on the minimal effort to moderate content but letting certain things through up until it caused an actual real world effect. Now with revenue on interactions per post it absolutely encourages the freaks

I don’t see nearly enough bots on X to justify all the hand-wringing hatred of the site. The occasional dumbass commenter bothers me more. And ads? Don’t know any.

@Lord WyrmSpawN
Well I suppose to be fair I do find those bots hilarious when they do show up with their offerings.

This. Exactly what I keep thinking. & it’ll be a long cold day in hell before I ever sign up for it.

Myself, I only signed up because I needed to upload NSFW images artists post there, and I couldn’t see them if i didn’t have an account. Don’t do anything there otherwise.

@Mildgyth
I signed up in 2010 when I was in college :P

@Mildgyth
I use it to share art on the sister site and upload images from my switch.

@AaronMk
Right…when people think of ai, the only thing they think of is OpenAI. weird that you think that tbh

@Penguin Dragneel
Actually, i do, i literally had someone make an AI of my voice on Discord :)

I’ve slowly over the years come to despise pride month.

A whole month of being pandered to by corporations pretending that there isn’t a sizeable number of their customer base that would love to see people like me in death camps. Rainbow plastered products being hawked by companies that donate to causes of suppression and regression. Limp-dicked platitudes bandied out for cultural brownie points for a few weeks while a million rednecks loose their shit because their favorite beer can added an extra color.

Call me jaded if you will.

@Zincy
Jaded, maybe.

Homophobic? Oh no I hope they don’t accuse you of that for that take.

@Zincy
I’ve always found pride month to be a little annoying, at best.

@Zincy
If people really care about LGBTQ+, they wouldn’t only care about them for a month.

@Meanlucario
So do humans, so thats not really a good example.

@Mikey
Vaaaastly disagree.

@Background Pony #B371
Why are you replying to months old posts to say something so stupid?

@Just Wayne
It’s nothing more than virtue signaling. Just like when July comes around that corporations stop pandering to the LGBTs and start pandering to the ’Murica lovers.

To be fair there’s been a lot of burn out over Pride Month for a very long time now, because like cops at Pride it’s a known cynical image washing maneuver.

almost everyone hates pride month at this point your not alone in this sentiment.

@AaronMk
That doesn’t mean we have to be homophobic

@Zincy
Yeah. It feels fake coming from corporations.

@Hollowfox, Always The Worst Person
Zincy is bi and proud of it. Acting like not being a fan of corporate rainbows indicates homophobia says more about you than him.

@Meanlucario
Problem is people will confuse disliking pride month with homophobia instead of thinking about it being commercialized and/or corporate. (I’m people though)

@Hollowfox, Always The Worst Person
Maybe terminally online people who think disliking/being critical a minor part of something means you hate the whole thing. But for the vast majority of people, they can separate (what is suppose to be) a celebration from what it’s celebrating. It’s like someone critical of weddings and how much they become a display of wealth moreso a celebration of the marriage but is all for marriage.
