Goodbye, Musk. The ‘X-odus’ Is Here

I wonder why Twix didn't catch on as a mockunominal for that social media platform. Mars or whoever owns the brand missed an opportunity. On the other hand, I haven't had one in a long time, but I recall Twix being a particularly delicious treat, so perhaps it is best that name not be besmirched.

That's the sick part, so long as Elmo doesn't affect there lives, they just see it as "entertainment."

Too little, too late, but it's still better than never at all.

I know way too many people who only used Twitter for sports. But after /r/nfl and /r/nba and all the sports subreddits blocked Twitter, I think a lot of the organic sports activity will die off.

Do the Qweeters get a whole year's salary?

Bluesky and Pixelfed are pretty good arguments for at minimum logging out of Twitter/Facebook/Instagram if not going all the way and closing your accounts there entirely.

And I bet Meta's recent Linux crackdown is going to start steering people away from Facebook and Instagram to boot.

I had one a few days ago for the first time in many years, it wasn't as good as I had remembered.

Welcome to China!!! It’s not just that singular incident either, but that’s definitely the go-to. I just can’t trust anything or anyone not willing to accept their faults. These are things we learn from. If we forget them, we get Nazis! Or whatever the Chinese equivalent of them is, the CCP?

Priorities, amirite?

The algorithmic feed and the low barrier to entry, including UX familiarity.

Aside from the headache of understanding what instances are and choosing one, and finding a decent mobile client, a lot of people care about unique usernames - especially those in the business/professional sphere.

I see their point, when @trustedname@genuine-instance can have all their effort and goodwill destroyed in a day by @trustedname@malicious-instance. While the Verification option exists, more needs to be done in ActivityPub and client developer guidelines to prevent or intuitively mitigate this kind of impersonation. But mentioning such shortcomings get sneered at or waved away, which keeps serious well-meaning people away.

Why would they go through that hassle when Bluesky's shortcomings are ideological and potential future direction?

More and more sports content is popping up on BlueSky.
