I do not care about the "network effect" at all tbh. I'm willing to just, interact less with people stuck on shitty websites

If you have to be on threads for whatever reason and you see an account for me, no you absolutely did not. Mute, Block, and report that shit immediately.

Somebody should tell Jeff Bezos that all the *cool* billionaires have microblogging platforms.

Undra när tex våra företag och myndigheter släpper taget om twitter. Undra när våra myndigheter tar tag i att faktiskt tänka igenom sociala media, ägandet av information och värdet av att synas och finnas. Våra skattemedel har gått till Facebook (meta), via instagram också, och säkert twitter också. Vad finansierar vi för att myndigheter ska nå oss med information?

For example, I've almost stopped posting research on the financial sector here because most people who would like to read ten different studies from reputable sources on the "Too Big To Fail" problem in the banking sector just aren't on the Fediverse (yet). On Twitter, there was much greater interest in topics like this.

Similarly, I found it fascinating to watch virologists, epidemiologists, immunologists, and intensive care doctors discuss the covid crisis in real time on Twitter in 2020. 2/

musk is not working as twitter ceo/head twit/whatever comedy title he has.

he is amphetamine and ketamine numbed, twitching and sweating, reacting with goldfish memory in real time and issuing grand decrees 13 times a day to the 112 H1Bs that put up with his shit because they don't want to back to mumbai.

there is no leadership happening. this is hitler in the bunker tweaked out and screaming shit.

oh look a place where you’re not rate limited on reads

Welcome back to all my Twitter friends. Stay here instead. It's not perfect but there's no Elon, and it generally works.

I'm not going to sit back here and be smug about how I warned everyone on Twitter, multiple times, over many months, that the site was going to get destroyed on a technical and social level by Elon Musk, and that they should start building up foundations on other social media services, only to be called a bitter jaded moralizing nerd by people who ought to have known better.

oh wait. no. I'm going to be smug as hell. I did the hard thing while so many others insulted me for it. I get to have this, for me. 🍵

Bird app doing the fun thing where it decides to implode.
