Less than 30 days ago article, hope thats ok. It will be interesting to see the effects of the myriad of websites that are de-listing twitter.

    Ah, glad to see we’re trading the platform that Jack Dorsey previously sold to a fascist for an obscene sum of money for the platform that Jack Dorsey hasn’t yet sold to a fascist for an obscene sum of money.

    I’m so deeply disappointed that Mastadon isn’t taking a larger share of traffic.

      @xmunk @mesamunefire I also dislike Jack Dorsey, but it’s false to say that “he sold twitter”.
      He did not own 50% or more of the companies shares, so he couldn’t make that decision by himself.
      Additionally, as I just learned from wikipedia, he had already resigned as CEO a year before the sale

      I’m fine with it. We don’t need to be the most popular, we just need to be there consistently.

      People continue to come over slowly and then they keep engaging. It’s not fizzing out so it’s been very nice.

        I dint care how big we are but its still very disheartening how much critical thinking skills people lack.

        Do they really believe it will be better or do they just not care?

          I’d guess they don’t care enough. If bsky enshittifies they will just find something else, same as now, but until then they can just ride it out with little to no hassle.

      It’s got George Takei. What more do we need?
