I have been permanently suspended from Twitter since two weeks ago

LOL. Well I go to Twitter for fresh hot of the press news and to hear my reps and such.

What about Truth Social? See how long it takes you to get thrown off there.

I just checked. They finally have the Android version. I will try. Since you are on it, does it ask you for your #?

Burner phones are fun!

I don't recall but if it did, I used my burner phone.

What is the best one and how much does it cost? Does it allow texting? Dumb question I know but then again I am dumb.

Yep it just asked me for my fucking number.

Cheapest at Walmart. $50 (it's been a year or so) and a monthly $35 card. The card expires, so plan ahead to sign up for all the things needing a phone number.

Very cool. The Apple version is $60/year, $10/month.

The hardware version might be cheaper in the long run unless you can use it as a business expense.

That's really cheap.

It depends upon the return.

I am not sure. Twitter was doing just fine. Then all the MAGA noise about Twitter and Facebook censoring conservative voices, politicians trying to control them and so on. Then it went downhill then Musk join the noise then it all went to shit.

Not sure what the end game is.

Twitter going extinct would be fine w/ me.

Yeah another one will appear and better managed. I love the hot off the press news before the media reports them.

They have automated banning, and are doing a poor job of it.

Think about this for a second. YouTube pays out billions of dollars to get creators to create. This drags in viewers, which they can then make money off of. Musk's vision for Twitter is they will charge creators to create... What sort of person would pay Twitter to give Twitter content?

For instance, Musk admitted the Stephen King effectively made Twitter close to a $100 million a year, and got nothing in return, but he claimed that Stephen King would gladly pay Twitter even more money to do this service for them. King responded, "Fuck that, they should pay me." He is now figuring out a way to move away from Twitter.

Musk has lost nearly a $100 billion. He seems to want to lose far, far more.

I read that close friends and associates are worried about him, stated he has changed. I’ve never understood why you would pay more for something than it’s worth and crash it.
