Can’t even make this up

After stealing and losing investors, friends, and institutions capital via the 3AC scheme, the same crew is now launching a new exchange called “GTX”

JFC, might as well just call it FTX 2.0

I don't want Mastodon to be a place where all I talk about is the continuing demise of Twitter, but...Twitter pulled the plug on all of the top third-party Twitter clients and Twitterrific's Craig Hockenberry has some things to say about it:

So since users of bird.makeup keep increasing like crazy, I've setup a Patreon:

Please help me grow a free and open source service in a sustainable way. Thank you! 😄

So with the API suspension to third party bird apps, it looks like I'm over here full time. @vincent's bridge service bird.makeup allows me to maintain the curated experience I had over there, & as people flow over to Mastodon, I can follow their native accounts. As a previous Tweetbot user, I'm keen for @paul & co's Ivory Mastodon app, but am sad for all the unseen work put into version 7.2 of Tweetbot which was only out for a handful of days before the API wars began.

discord has ruined the definition of the word "server" for potentially an entire generation of people

Mastadon admins should make a script that bulk deletes spam posts they can call it a......toot brush

Happy Friday the 13th

All third party Twitter apps stopped working yesterday 🫠

👋 Hi, this is the official Medium account on our new instance! This is our home on @me.dm, where we’ll be boosting writers and publications, sharing stories, and trying to deepen our understanding of Mastodon and the fediverse.

To get started, we thought we’d share this list of resources about getting up and running if you, like us, are new here: https://scottlamb.blog/list/f4843d1cc80f

@kevlin @cwebber described ChatGPT as Mansplaining As A Service, and honestly I can’t think of a better description. A service that instantly generates vaguely plausible sounding yet totally fabricated and baseless lectures at an instant with unflagging confidence in it’s own correctness on any topic, without concern, regard or awareness even of the level of expertise of it’s audience.
