Endorph posted:its bizarre because twitter is huge in japan, its not like thats some region where they barely get any traffic. half the population uses it. facebook never took off there and tiktok is even more exclusively high school girls than it is in the west, and unlike, say, china, japan has no real equivalent region-specific social media site. the only jp-exclusive social media service is line, which is more of a messenger app. *sees posters av/title* *adds this piece of information to my 'things to share about the twitter shitshow' repo*

Even Livejournal is still technically alive even though most of its users left for greener pastures in the 2010s because of either bad coding decisions or the new owners saying users must follow Russian obscenity laws (aka no gay stuff). My old e-mail still gets the occasional "Today is your friend's birthday! Go tell them hi even though you haven't logged in since 2009 and your friend died in 2011!" message.

March 30 2023. I wonder how things are looking behind closed doors at the companies that are bailing on Twitter advertising right now. Are they laughing their asses off around the boardroom table, or sitting in slack jawed disbelief at the sheer incompetence of the Musk rat? Edit because I can't numbers

Last year I got an automated “congrats on 20 years of having a Livejournal account” email and my bones turned to dust which scattered in the wind. Really I think the main thing that will keep Twitter going for years and years is the lack of an alternative with equivalent functionality. There’s lots of platforms like discord and Reddit which work for community groups centered on specific interests, but nothing really matches the public-square aspect of Twitter which is what makes it so addictive to journalists, pundits, politics junkies and culture warriors. There’s attempts like Mastodon but they’re terrible. Unless something like co-host somehow catches on and is able to scale up massively, there’s no clear destination for a hypothetical Twitter exodus right now.

January 19, 2038. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem Much like Slashdot, it will probably pass through 2 or 3 different bag-holders, and stick around as a slowly shrinking cesspool of aging, bitter right-wingers. Until some subsystem that still depends on 32-bit UNIX time craps out, and the whole thing falls over because all the admin staff who actually gave a poo poo left ~15 years prior.

Every few years for the last 12 years I pop in to see who's alive and almost every time out of the most recent times I've gone back my account gets hacked and my password for the site ends up on a pastebin somewhere.

Holy balls he fired the twitter people in Japan. That is staggeringly stupid. Twitter is the extremely popular, cool, young people thing in Japan and something basically every advertiser uses (I don't, although Elon is dumb enough to fire his legal team thats stopping me) and theres no meaningful competition. gently caress you Elon for making LINE even more entrenched in the market, I hate working with them. Edit: I can see that useless loving LINE reps stupid loving face grinning as he offers me a plate of nothing at higher prices.

I do genuinely miss Livejournal, though. I found some good communities and I'll always miss Cleolinda Jones pop culture takes. I'm honestly more baffled to see FandomSecrets still going, although they redirect to their DreamWidth page instead of posting it there on LJ. I miss FandomWank, too, back when fandom drama could be written off as "wank" instead of everything having to be discourse nowadays.

Yeah, the public nature of it where everything is easily visible to everyone in bite sized pieces, so stuff can go viral easily, is what draws people in but it’s also what’s terrible about it. Small easily shareable posts are great for engagement and terrible for any kind of nuance or real conversation. The quote-tweet feature in particular is probably the most toxicity-enabling feature the site ever devised.

Im not joking that Im pretty sure one of my competitors will jump on Elon Musks desperation to make money and fire everyone with any legal knowledge in Japan and commit some rich people crimes with Twitter for Musk to find out there are devestating penalties for being the facilitator.

I'm feeling optimistic, bird death on may 15th, '23. Since I'm such an optimist: this should be a serious blow to the Cult of Musk, right? Obviously most bazingas are going to keep screaming the Musk is not owned, as they shrink into fascist corncobs, but since he's directly loving with/killing one of journalists' favourite toy this should be an end to the fawning press coverage, right? Most journalists are not bazingas, just common morons like you* or me, and motherfucker is killing their toy. *Ok, they're probably dumber than the average goon I just want to believe.

god please help me posted:I want to hear how that conversation went. My explanation part went fine, basically "its comics from Japan. Sailor Moon is about a highschool girl and her friends who transform to fight evil" The bad part is where she got indignant that those stories or manga or anime were culturally relevant because she had never heard of it and started trying to get me to agree it was childish or for people who couldnt hold jobs good enough to be a worthwhile visa member while extremely senior people at Bandai Namco and Shueisha (shonen jumps owners) were in attendance.
