I appreciate that this article from July in the San Francisco Standard tells me everything I need to know.
Nikita Bier is a serial entrepreneur with the heart of a troll
Imagine joining X in June of 2025 and thinking you “made it.” Gross.
At this point I wish EU would grow a spine and just put out a final post saying that at the very least they’re moving all operations to BlueSky. It’d be amazing if they moved to Mastodon, but that’s still a pipedream.
the eu has been on mastodon for years. they run their own instance.
I don’t even understand what it is they supposedly did. How does a link deceive people into thinking it’s a video? And why would that artificially increase its reach? And isn’t the point of paying for ads to have a specific predetermined reach and for that reach to be independent of user interaction? I’m so confused.
And if this is a known exploit, why not fix it?
They fired all the capable people.
Seems like people who regularly use the word “irony” don’t often appreciate when it truly occurs.
like rain on your wedding day
Wasn't NOT advertising on X said to be illegal collusion against the platform? Shouldn't they be thrilled to host ads for the EU?
Only if you collude with other companies to do do…
My people, please. There’s no confusion here. It’s simply that Xitter* does not care about truth. It’ll ban, sue, or whatever depending on what benefits a certain Nazi with fake hair.
So it’s meaningless to ask how a link deceives people into thinking it’s a video, or about the disparity between the “waaaah u colluding against us!” drama and this situation, or why they didn’t fix the exploit. (Or if there’s an exploit to begin with.)
*read the X as SH.
I mean… Stop using the platform?
to post a link that deceives users into thinking it’s a video
… what? but it is a video: xcancel.com/EU_Commission/…/1996968219286904832
Those comments. 🤮
They are Nazis, don’t expect anything else. It’s Twitter after all, the platform that’s openly a Nazi bar.
I’m so mad that you took money I rightfully grifted that I’m not going to let you give me money anymore?
Did he think. Ha. Never mind. I can’t even say it with a straight face. God he’s an infantile lunatic.
Blue checkmarks fund Nazis… grow a spine and delete your account. Step away from the Nazi table. Simple as that.
The badge of dishonor, I call it.
Why are any headlines being written about Xitter that aren’t about its bankruptcy.
The account is 2 hours old. I guess he tried to submit too many posts at the same time.
Doge is working in the EU now and actually cutting wasted instead of what they did in the USA.
The only doge in the EU are actual dogs.
We don’t let ultra rich buy themselves into the government.
Drugs are bad, kids.

LOL imagine banning an account from an organization that just find you 130 million Euros and having the gall to pretend like it’s not about the fine…
Why even bother? Who is going to believe that?
