With throngs of people leaving, “Black Twitter” may become a thing of the past as more users move to alternative text-based social media apps.

Where's the downside?...

It has played a key role in movements such as #SayHerName, #BlackLivesMatter and #OscarsSoWhite.

Ah, OscarsSoWhite.

Complaining that, despite the Oscar winners acurately representing the overall % of blacks in the USA, the pale jews were vastly over-represented...

So obviously this means White people bad. BAD. WHITE. PEOPLE.

They are trying so hard to astroturf their shitty alternatives.

I have said this quite a few times on different forums already, but it is important that we do not let them normalise those. It is important that whenever a normie mentions them, we act like they're a weirdo freak for even knowing the name. Act like it's a site for sharing child porn (considering mastodon, it's not even a lie).

Do what the left does to gab.

Black users...They are now also among the thousands of people who have left X...

"Black users" are among the thousands that left? What is this lazy slop? Also, it went up from hundreds, to thousands.

Twitter is finished this time, the walls are closing in!

“I don’t think that Black Twitter is going to exist within the next couple of years,” said Jonathan Johnson, a 29-year-old behavioral therapist in Houston and a longtime Twitter and X user.

This is the very definition of an oxygen thief. Wow.

Black Twitter, an unofficial group of users self-organized around shared cultural experiences that convenes sometimes viral discussions on everything from social issues to pop culture. It has played a key role in movements such as #SayHerName, #BlackLivesMatter and #OscarsSoWhite.

They make it sound like black people are leaving but it's actually just a small group of self-important troublemakers, race hustlers and activists.

Getting these fucks to leave anywhere of their own volition is tautological net gain.

So if we downsize the federal government's staff by 90% and stop all the onesided censorship and institutional protection for leftists, can we get them all to leave the country too?

They aren't entirely off the mark.

Black People Twitter as a named specific thing was hugely influential on internet slang and culture, and is the root cause of a shit ton of slang and phrases that people use now. It did more to put "black culture" in the hands of the masses than all the media before it combined. It was there as a thing bringing things like "take the L" or the like into common discussion all the way back in like 2009 or earlier.

Like, during its heyday, both reddit and /b/ had huge "black people twitter" posts everyday of people just enjoying blacks on the internet talking like ghetto rats. 4chan of course was more hateful while reddit was more "yasssss slay" and we know which of those two would control future narratives.

The problem is, they can't address how or why black twitter was so unique and different without opening the can of worms about ebonics and it coming across as laughing at dancing monkeys. So instead its this nebulous "unofficial" thing that lets all blacks become foundational internet powers instead.

Black Twitter is very likely just the same situation as Scottish Twitter or whatever the Reddit sub was. Namely Americans pretending, exceedingly poorly, to be the group in question and being so cringe inducing any actual "True Scotsman" or whatever group just left and let them larp because it wasn't ever going to change or stop.

#SayHerName, #BlackLivesMatter and #OscarsSoWhite.

I don't even remember the first one, the second one is a bunch of dindus excusing crime, and the third one is screeching because they're shit at everything. Who cares.

The move away from X coincides with the platform adopting a new terms-of-service policy as of Friday that states users’ posts will be used to train artificial intelligence. Users could have previously opted out of this AI machine learning, but the new policy states that all users agree simply by having an X account.

This is an actual legitimate concern, but it'll happen everywhere eventually.

The exodus has been a long time coming. Researchers tracked an uptick in hate speech after Musk acquired the site in 2022 and began changes to its algorithm.

AKA people calling fags out for being fags. God forbid.

Oh, the drug dealer thing where the cops went in and shot him when he shot at them. Sucks to suck. Don't date drug dealers and criminals and you won't have that problem. Weird...

Patently untrue. Female officers will come into the wrong apartment and kill you.

Checking addresses is too much to expect. Basically fuck no-knock raids. And female officers.

In this case they found a dead body in a rental car in her name and they did in fact knock and announce

The current boyfriend wasn't the drug dealer. That was her ex lol. She was still "visiting" the ex at his trap house and had rented a car for him and the police found a body in said car. The new dude was a cuck

The person writing this realises this means all the negatives are the fault of "Black Twitter", right?

Don't answer that, we all know it won't be the case because nobody ever thinks that far ahead when trying to claim accolades they know nothing about.

Alternative shitpost:

Internet is filled with loud, obnoxious idiots who can't help but shout every thought they have with no filter.

"Black Twitter" defined the internet

What did they mean by this? 🤔

“Everyone is on the same page of what we don’t want to see.”

Seeing different opinions, if you so chose to engage is somehow bad and needs to be avoided.

Please compare Black Twitter vs 4Chan in it's influence.

Black users make up some of social media’s most engaged, influential audiences.

The difference is that ""black twitter"" is just a artificial inflation of every black sociology account, whereas anything chanish or suggesting White solidarity would just get you a shadowban.

I have a 13 year old and all I can think is how much he sounds like 4Chan from 2006. It's driving my wife nuts.

I've also had to explain what Bitch, C@$#, Nigga, Puto, and others mean to him. It's been a learning experience for us all.

– AlfredicEnglishRules 3 points 1 year ago +3 / -0

Because I found out it's a terrible word in American and I don't know how it will be modded. I learned it meant that thing over there as a kid, and didn't know the other meaning until I was much older and shocking friends when I asked why their car was parked so far away.

As a Scot I can tell you we are all cunts, but there are good cunts and bad cunts. Good cunts don't care if you use the word cunt. Bad cunts aren't worth giving a shit about what they think if you use the word cunt.

I learned it meant that thing over there as a kid

Ok I'm going to need that one explained how it worked. Or was it just "that cunt over there"? 🤔

and didn't know the other meaning

Tbf it's just another word for for something that already has a lot of words that can be used for it, and I'll bet you there are alternatives that would be considered both better and worse at the same time were you to ask someone. If you do find yourself in that conversation somehow, ask the other person their opinion on the term "gash".

I learned English in Scotland, so I always figured that was half of it. The other half is it was used as I described in a very specific part of Idaho.

I say cunt here all the time. I called Tulsi Gabbard one the other day for her history of voting for gun control, and the only people who lost their minds over it were a few low-T faggots from Europe.

More than 115,000 accounts deactivated on the day after the election, the most dropped accounts in a single day since Musk acquired the platform, according to data from Similarweb, a third-party company that tracks social media analytics, shared with NBC News this week.

The bot farm money stopped after the Election. Most of those accounts were probably astroturf.

Eternal Wakanda

You missed the chance to use the actual meme of "Wakanda forever" there. Not that it turned out to be true since Black Panther got all of 1 titular movie before the lead actor died 🙄
