Just three hours ago, twitter was sold to Elon Musk.
Changes are coming to the twitter platform
Some of the rumors circulating:
- No more ads
- Trump Getting Greenlighted
- Paying for premium memberships
- cryptocurrency that started as a "joke" will not have a space on twitter
Here is what we know for sure:
Change means that things will be different
Change means that some people will be unhappy with the changes
Change means opportunity for us, LeoLions, and #projectblank
Wouldn't it be cool if there was a massive exodus from twitter and all those people came over to HIVE?
It wouldn't be the first time a billionaire thought they could buy a community and ended up having to build a whole new one.
Are you on twitter, and will you stay through the changes?
Do you think this will affect our project in any way?

Considering I was banned off of Twitter not once but twice for my political views. This is a breath of fresh air for me so I rejoined Twitter for the willies. I'm not prioritizing it, but I am there just to chime in. I believe in diversifying my social media usage, so Twitter will be used like I use Gab, Parler, Gettr, Minds and others.
In the end, this will serve as a benefit for people who believe in a freer Twitter. The ones who may not like this are the radical progressives.
Personally, knowing how much control progressives had on that platform, if they came here it would only benefit the price of Hive, but I know content creators like me on Hive would be down voted to nothingness over our political stance. It's a double-edged sword.
Well... I am pretty bland political wise and I was banned from facebook once upon a time.
A cousin called me "privileged" after I posted a recipe for bean tacos. She was mad cause I was telling people that they should eat more beans LMAO.
Apparently, it was extremely racist of me to call her a beaner.
Or it might have been that I told her to shave her armpits.
IDK, I am sure I wrote a lot of dumb stuff that day - I even had some choice words to say about her grandma (our grandma).
Oh, I also called her an India - which she is, I know, we stemmed from the same tribe.
I can see what you are saying about being downvoted into oblivion. The people of HIVE are very diverse, but lots of the thought forms running around here are just too much for the likes of traditional social media.
LOL, that's honestly hilarious, clowning on family is always fun.
Some people can be so sensitive sometimes, it's absolutely ridiculous.
Yeah, Hive is definitely more open to opposing ideas (sometimes) from what I've seen. It's definitely not as aggressive as mainstream social media.

Eventually Twitter will be respectful towards other views. Hopefully Elon can make the right moves.

Success! You mined .9 HBIT & the user you replied to received .1 HBIT on your behalf. mine | wallet | market | tools | discord | community | <><
What's the HBITgame? | Card 2 of 4It's a perfect time now for Leofinance team to launch "Project Blank"!
If Elon musk's buy Twitter and likely changes may come up as you said, it well and good. My prayer is that all his changes would not affect the leofinance project, Hive and other crypto platform.
I really appreciate all you do my beautiful @metzli. Thank you and have a beautiful day.

Can only be a positive development. Elon believes in free speech... and the fact that the loony left are spitting bullets means he must be on the correct side of the 'political' fence. Trump as well as thousands of others will get greenlighted ... but as Trump has started his own equivalent od Twitter called TrueSocial .... he has stated that he will not be back on the platform. but we know ole Donald.... he may well be on already {smile}
I have no skin in the game so I am definitely watching as indifferently as possible.
I still think it’s a great opportunity for off-brand social media like ours.
If I was musk I would green light trump. Controversies bring eyes and eyes bring money.
"cryptocurrency that started as a "joke" will not have a space on twitter"
Doesn't this conflict with his support of Doge?
Sure does.
It must be one of those things where you say one thing and mean another and you make money off of it.
So dogs is soaring now that he tweeted a thumbs up about it.
In the screenshot from https://www.npr.org/2022/04/25/1094671225/elon-musk-bought-twitter-plans an article written by NPR it’s alluded that he’s spoken about not letting dogecoin advertise there.
Interesting.
Im sure no matter what, his bags are gonna pump.
