Why was Twitter provoking Ukraine into attacking them?

[–] thann@lemmy.dbzer0.com 86 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ukrainian speakers are being mistreated on X, it must be invaded!

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 82 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We need to de-nazify X.

Oh, wait, that's actually true.

It would be a ghost town once that happens

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 13 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Already is though. Just zombies, ghouls and vampires roam there.

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 weeks ago

And bots. Lots of bots. Russian bots, Chinese bots, just random AI bots that make look Xitter a little bit less dead.

Sort of a Wolfenstein setup?

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That would be a cause for celebration!

They'd better fucking say thanks

I thought it was hilarious that right after trump criticized Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit and everyone then making fun of trump for letting Elon wear a t-shirt, Elon is now wearing a suit and tie.

They are just doing "what anybody would do."

Can someone please denazify Twitter. Starting from the top.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Sorry best I can do is bring the whole site down.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 14 points 3 weeks ago

I'll take it

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, actually. If you want a temporary popular solution then Bluesky. If you want a permanent but unpopular solution then Mastodon.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago

X was asking for it. They shouldn't have dressed so sexy

[–] grue@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Didn't Anonymous claim credit for the attack? Why are the people in this thread treating this Ukraine-blaming nonsense with even the minimal credence necessary to mock it?

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ukranians can be Anonymous if they're anonymous enough.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

But then they stop being known to be Ukrainian. Anonymous isn't "from" anywhere except "behind seven proxies;" that's kinda the point.

If the claim was that Xitter got attacked by Anonymous and then the Anonymous group got unmasked as being made of a bunch of Ukrainians that'd be one thing, but that isn't what's going on here. Instead, it's just Musk blatantly lying to manufacture yet another libelous false grievance against Ukraine, and we shouldn't even be entertaining it as a possibility.

The little bitch better wear a suit while he does it, too.

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

List of things I thank twitter for:

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

At least they are winning in Twitter.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I bet that's comforting for all the russian soldiers that are getting personalized bombs dropped on their heads via drone.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

And any North Koreans who failed to commit suicide.

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Last time I checked, there were three lethal victims in the Moscow attacks. Even the NY Times reports them as "people", not soldiers.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Compared to Ukranian civilian casualties at the hands of the Russians, it's a rounding error.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I’m sure the children’s hospitals in Ukraine were only filled with nothing but soldiers, right?

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

Are you? I don't know. My comment is just about how Twitter propaganda is not the real war.
