This story keeps getting posted, as if the propaganda needs to be spread more. This was an automated system that was in place before musk which temporarily removed the blue check when you're profile changed, as a precaution against hacked accounts having a huge reach. UAW changed their profile picture when the strike was called. I'm pro strike and member of a union who is in solidarity with the strike action, but let's call facts as they are and not spread misinformation, even when it's for our side

And a colleague of mine recently praised Musk to me for bringing back free speech to twitter...

Guarantee they will ignore or excuse this. Or claim it is fake news.

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Or just say some generic anti-union bullshit and ignore the actual speech issue.

I paid for the checkmark (for the year) and a couple of months later my account got suspended with no violation or violating tweet cited. No appeal.

You are part of the problem

Dont pay billionaires.. lol

[–] transigence@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have no beef with billionaires. I buy licenses for Windows, and I order from Amazon. But some billionaires are better about keeping their end of the bargain than others.

I'd hang myself out to dry for a million dollars.

Why is anyone still on X? Got on Mastodon already and take your power back.

The media is busy fellating BlueSky as if Jack Dorsey isn't a giant pile of shit, too.
