 will #apple ban #x now that alex jones return threatens to violate their app store rules?

"To celebrate the return of such a man, Musk joined Jones in a live audio chat on Sunday. Other attendees included Andrew Tate, who faces rape and sex-trafficking charges, and Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy, who last week rattled off a raft of unfounded conspiracy theories on the debate stage. With saner minds abandoning X, this is the clientele that’s left."

 Lol kissing those last advertises goodbye, but if they get canned by the app store, its tickets most Twitter peeps claim to be smart but i'm sure won't be able to figure out how to get around not using a native app

This is going to be fun there is only 1 bird app and its purple

 I think it's great. Alex Jones singlehandedly brought counterintelligence lingo to the masses and now everyone knows them. Hidden in plain sight. By design. Problem, Reaction Solution. Every time I see these expressions being used I think of him.

Nostr isn't in any way threatened by it, and the rest of the centralised social media are. Once nostr matures and handles media hosting and profile migration effectively, I can almost guarantee that X will interface with Nostr. Whether Musk likes it or not. If he re-opens the API it's a given.
