We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.

That means a kindle is a form of tele-dildonics.

I know early Onion pictures were just random people they knew/saw in Madison (I knew someone who was one of the "your voices" headshots), and I sometimes wonder how that dude feels about being the "worst person you know" guy.

I thought that they'd technically just changed all of the layed-off employees to have no assigned work for the next couple months, but kept them on payroll to work around WARN. Does that mean that management could just say "LOL, changed our minds, show up to work tomorrow or you're fired for disobeying a direct order"? They're probably not doing that, it's probably just incompetence, but that'd be evil.

Destroying the ability of the masses to easily contradict or otherwise show up their betters on a global scale is probably intentional; it's definitely a positive for a class parasite like Musk, that's for sure. He's an idiot, but that doesn't remove the fact that destroying Twitter is beneficial to him. There will be a replacement, but it'll take time to make it back to the level of reach and ease of use Twitter provided.

Ideal is surely he loses a pile of money on it and someone buys it back off him for peanuts and then makes it basically functional again and maybe takes the opportunity to change some fundamental stuff that is wrong with it.

I agree that for all it is bad, it is very important that people are able to see how loving moronic the upper classes are.

I for one would love to go back to individual websites/blogs with an optional RSS feed sidebar, because that would account for 99% of the functionality of social media. Unfortunately that's virtually free and would not allow advertisers to algorithmically shove their garbage in front of your eyeballs without your consent, hence all the tech companies abruptly pretending RSS didn't exist around 2014-15ish.

Mastodon seems to have too much "it's like twitter but different in all these ways that aren't exactly useful but are different for the sake of being different because we're open source and open source is better no matter what" for my taste. I guess I could get used to it, but it's definitely not up my alley, and I'm sick of mainstream you Must post Provide Content PROVIDE CONTENT social media anyways.

This is something I've been sort of noticing: all the Twitter replacements, from the likes of Mastodon to even Truth Social, are just straight-up Twitter Replacements, and I don't think that's actually a recipe for success; it's like how every Mario Kart competitor fizzles, because the pitch of 'it's like X, but' is one that only ever feels like it comes from or works for people who would obviously just be going to X if it were a viable option.

I feel like Reddit was able to fill the space left when Digg imploded not because it was outright a Digg Replacement, but because it was close enough for to pick up the migration while doing enough of its own thing to have appeal beyond that once people got there.
