RavingGoat··on Ask HN: If you were in Musk's position, how would you improve Twitter instead?
I would create a system where big companies could interact with followers for a price. Example: Starbucks could send their followers coupons or giveaways. Since the users are followers they can actively post tweets to them instead of ads which can be blocked.
RavingGoat··on Ask HN: Are you seeing verified impersonations on Twitter today?
They don't even check your government id. You can be verified as anyone for $8.
RavingGoat··on Twitter to ban unlabelled parody accounts
Believe it not there are a lot of people with the same name so allowing anyone to be verified makes verification useless.
RavingGoat··on Twitter to ban unlabelled parody accounts
What if your legal name is Elon Musk. Can you pay the $8 to be verified? Will there only be one unique verified name and if so who gets to "own" it? If I get verified then someone has a hit song with my same name do I lose verification because they are now more important than me?

Musk seems unhinged as this point.

How much did he pay them to get them to say those things? He's clearly overmatched currently.

Just because you don't like the analogy doesn't mean Elon isn't a clown
RavingGoat··on Will Twitter outlast this lettuce?
If it's true that he fired developers based off lines of code then I think Liz Truss is smarter.

There's zero proof that it even was Hunter Bidens laptop.
RavingGoat··on General Mills, Audi pause Twitter ads, will evaluate site
All because white guys want to tweet the N word

It's very concerning that Elon's posts have so many comments but he's replying to so many far right crazies and conspiracy nuts comments.
RavingGoat··on Selling Blue Checks hits the reset button on Twitter's anointed elite
I'm calling bullcrap. Tons of far right people have been verified. Give me a not well know person on the left that has been verified and a comparable right person that was turned down.
RavingGoat··on Tell HN: The issues of Twitter are not a technical problem to solve
It appears going forward, thanks to MAGA republicans, that all members of congress and their families will need security.
RavingGoat··on Tell HN: The issues of Twitter are not a technical problem to solve
I take it you don't believe in global warming?

Sounds like someone has been on Breitbart a lot
RavingGoat··on Elon Musk owns Twitter: The story so far
So no he doesn't give "input"? Shotwell is definitely in charge.
RavingGoat··on ImageSharp leaving the .NET Foundation due to licensing change

Yes, the pardon wipes it off your record.
RavingGoat··on Why “go nuts, show nuts” doesn’t work in 2022
But Gab's purpose is racist speech so why go there? They don't allow free speech because if you go there to argue with the racists they ban you. In fact, Gab has even more censorship than Twitter.
RavingGoat··on Ask HN: Have you experienced “hiring fraud?”
I thought you were gonna talk about a company bringing you in for an interview but turned out they weren't hiring, just seeing who was out there in case they did need people. Meanwhile, I wasted my lunch hour doing what I thought was interviewing.
RavingGoat··on Dear Chess World
Remote control anal beads is the cheapest, easiest to conceal and readily available.
RavingGoat··on Tell HN: Sites like Kiwifarms are destroying free speech
Harassment should never be included under free speech. Kiwifarms was a site whose purpose was harassment so it's not even an issue for it to be removed.
RavingGoat··on Blocking Kiwifarms
Last I checked both Kavanaugh and Rowling have shit loads of security. I can't say the same for a random trans person, can you???
RavingGoat··on Blocking Kiwifarms
Zero Hedge is not a site I would be using to back my argument.
RavingGoat··on Blocking Kiwifarms
Free speech is not guaranteed if it harms others.
RavingGoat··on Blocking Kiwifarms
Bullshit. Half the stuff they have is fake or comes from hacked accounts. Get real.
