I honestly think Musk is too stupid to know about 1488. Like he’s super racist and fascist, but even dumber than those things.

I think the biggest obstacle for Mastodon is the lack of widespread embedding features. You need ways to broadcast toots (lol) easily to people outside the ecosystem.

Republicans posted:I don't think Taibbi is a Greenwald-level overrated prick and I thought most of the mistakes harped on in the MSNBC segment were petty bullshit but still LOL serves him right for playing toady to Musk for the scoop. Agreed. Pretty rude to subject Taibbi to serious scrutiny of what he wrote like he’s some kind of journalist.

Discord at least seems to have potential for legit income streams with Nitro and Server Boosting? Dunno if those are enough to make it profitable, but I hope so since I use it more than any other big platform.

Some additional context on the Reddit blackout. Why disabled users joined the Reddit blackout https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759761/reddit-disability-accessibility-blackout-api-blind The cherry on top: "As for r/blind, it remains dark in protest, with a bitter twist: thanks to access conflicts, only a sighted person could actually flip the switch that set the community to private.

Zuck has done lots of poo poo that’s as bad or dumb as Musk, but a lot of it happened in foreign countries or was wrapped up in his metaverse VR boondoggle. I’m only on Facebook because it’s currently the best place to get info for IRL events locally. I never post on my or anyone’s timeline outside of some birthday shoutouts whydirt fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Jul 1, 2023 |

I think I’m being misunderstood. I do have sympathy for folks/communities/official announcements that will have a hard time finding a new home, since other platforms don’t offer the same social experience or networking. That is a legit loss. That’s not an excuse for not making any effort to do so, given that Twitter is increasingly officially bigoted and structurally melting down. My point is that you should start mirroring your content on other platforms, saving contacts of your follows, etc, because from what we’ve seen Twitter could go dark or become legit unusable at any point.

Boris Galerkin posted:I remember when Apple made a big deal about how they were bringing emojis to the iPhone. IIRC nobody outside of Japan used or even heard of emojis, but selling a phone in Japan without emojis was a non-starter so they had to implement it if they wanted Japanese people to buy iPhones. We might not have used the term emoji, but smiley graphics were a thing in the English speaking online world long before iPhones.

If nothing else, Threads is certainly making Elon Musk very much Not Mad. Even if the platform crashes and burns, that's enough for me right now. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/instagrams-threads-bursts-gate-millions-sign-ups-rcna92827

Everything else equal, I’d trust a random sex worker over Zuck any day. That said, their claim does seem fishy in the sense that it feels like it would be talked about more if it was happening in any significant frequency. And even if the story is 100% fake, I wouldn’t fault anyone for not signing up for any social media platform

From my personal experience, Facebook is surviving by being the central place for community event postings if you're an adult normie and not terminally online (that's pretty much the only reason I haven't deactivated my account). No one I know is particularly happy to use Facebook, but the network advantage it has by being the most common denominator platform is keeping other options from growing. Facebook Marketplace also seems to still be popular.

Alctel posted:Twitter has been a massive net negative to the human race so crossing fingers this kills it I think a lot of users were willing to overlook Elon's stupidity/bigotry as long as it didn't interrupt their actual day-to-day use of Twitter. Now every decently sized creator/brand/etc has to update all their info about "Find us on Twitter" and if you're already redoing all of that then the friction of dumping Twitter altogether becomes a lot less.

1): Musk’s complaint about the ADL has nothing to do with Zionism or Palestine and is about actual antisemitism on his platform, so the ADL is actually in the right in this specific context 2) Saying “Musk is right actually but not how you think” is dumb. Nazis and people we need to convince to abandon Musk/Twitter don’t care or won’t understand the nuance

Pointing out that Musk using the ADL as a scapegoat for Twitter’s advertising woes is itself an antisemitic action isn’t “handing it” to the ADL

RoboChrist 9000 posted:Yes. I agree. It keeps the quality up. But it also prevents Bluesky from being what Twitter was, which was my point - that there is currently no clear successor to Twitter and I don't think there will be. I think Musk killed the concept of the singular dominant monolithic social media platform for the near future. Facebook and Instagram are way more dominant than Twitter was at its peak. There’s a reason lots of 3rd party websites use FB authentication.
