What I hear about Mastadon is that it is twitterised reddit. Your feed is r/all and all the instances are subreddits.

So that system (in gist), but without reddits actual comment format. Also the subreddits can ignore each other.

From what I'm seeing:

-If you're just there to see the content other people post, it's twitter with some slight clunking in how you follow people; you got a feed of people you follow, one for the server and one for everything

-If you're posting/retweeting stuff yourself then the server you choose will be the one most likely to actually /see/ it unless you're personally popular enough to have lots of people from other places following/retweeting you and various servers can have different rules about what's permissable

Ester, if you are reading this, I do not know if what I rib here is true, and I am sorry for the ribbing either way, but it is unwise to bang Elon.

Elon, if you are reading this, friendly word of advice: it is unwise to leave a bunch of disappointed women in your wake. Stop chasing pussy, you dipshit.

A lot of folks have asked about how we'll be able to run a company that needs 7000 employees with only half that, which is why we’re introducing "Twitter labor partners". These are people who are going to be performing labor at Twitter in exchange for wages and benefits and a labor contract. We are currently looking for 3700 labor partners.

Dudes, it's gross to be speculating on if a given women at Twitter is sleeping with her boss. She can be condemned for plenty of other lovely things without goons falling back to chud-style "bad woman = SLUT." Dick riding is a state of mind, it doesn't have to be literal to be terminally embarrassing.

It's not about a woman sleeping with her boss, it's about a serial sex pest abuser entering a new place and continuing his history of sex pest abuse.

Please stop doing this and attempting to police people's poo poo talking; this makes you look, IMO, weird for jumping in to take this bullet on a stretch of a tangent, but also does not horseshoe back into slut shaming, no matter how much you want it to.

The dude is a serial fool who dumps one absolute knockout 10 after another and does not realize he has permanently banked his career hard into being a Lowtax by the time required for Twitter, much less in all his families.

We can totally rip on him being a gross sex pest without implying the women near him deserve it or like it. We could talk about how firing the entire human resources department is a distressing creep move, and/or realize that anyone with sexting DMs should nuke them immediately for their own safety.

Elon Musk whined and begged me hard enough constantly that I finally gave him a pity date, he took me to Olive Garden but after food told me he couldn't afford it and things were just tight right now and that he'd get me back for it.

He never will and we both know it, but it was kind of worth it to know he pronounces stuff like "parmee-jaaaarna" and "tag-lie-tell" and "so-vig-none".

The waitress says he does this a lot, and we just kind of looked over at this man and felt bad.

This is probably because it was easier for the remaining devs to implement a new “blue check” than to go back fix the clusterfuck caused by letting anyone buy it in the first place, I’d bet money that they didn’t have time or the expertise to undo the fuckery.

Thanks for the concern, but I'm fine! My only use of Twitter is to sell comics, not for any bone-related reasons.

I think there's been a lot of focus on Elon having access to private DMs for Union-busting reasons, but there's plenty of other reasons Elon in particular shouldn't have access to anyone's private DMs. You think he hasn't snooped on Chelsea Manning's DMs to his ex-wife?
