Twitter thread

I fucking hate that guy. If I ever see him the urge to smack him might overcome me.

Im on counter.social and not seeing an benefit from it..

what is Mastodon too

Not sure how these alt sites think they can get all the content moved to them
but maybe, I think twitter will be fine
I don't think it will become a hellscape as everyone keep saying…it kinda was already

Elon will lose lots of money and someone else will likely buy for $10bill in a few months?
I dunno, don't take advice on buying companies from me

What can we take advise from you Sidehatch? :)

Without diving into deep into this here is what looks like a good explainer of Mastodon

https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/03/decentralized-social-network-mastodon-grows-to-655k-users-in-wake-of-elon-musks-twitter-takeover/

The confusing feature of Mastodon is the choice of what server you choose when you sign up as they are topic specific.

There is a general topic Mastodon

Counter.social is a customized version of Mastodon, so I guess it’s treated one of the server options available.

In theory there could be a 930 Mastodon server

The problem with all these giant social media sites is they destroyed scene specific forums and  discussion boards, which someone was bemoaning the lose of recently.. now of course as great as it would be to back to the time of listserves, the golden age of this forum, the velvet rope which was a very gossipy music industry forum, etc.. it sure is nice that Twitter provided a centralized easy to use platform versus having to go to several sites, but everyone is competing for the same users

One could see the return of large forums, but having to do content and user moderation in these times would be a massive headache

And don’t get me started on the use of Discord servers for which I can barely keep up with the couple I’m on… I suspect Reddit would make my head explode

2 stroke engines.  30 year fixed rate loans and refi.  70s and 80s punk rock/ hardcore
I think sweets has me bested on beer and brewing, but can be a trusted advisor (unless yada is involved)

There are a few more

In theory there could be a 930 Mastodon server

Would there only be 7 people there too?

This is why Twitter can never be allowed to die

Hutch, isn't this a dead ringer for Jim D

It’s him!! Man I haven’t seen him since they left DC. Isn’t it funny how you fall out of touch so easily

Except he who shall not be named is acting very TFG like..

I keep trying to tell myself my experience on that site hasn’t changed but it has <bangs head on wall>

Prior to Brexit and then TFG as long as stayed away the tea party numptees Twitter was a great place… both those events opened the constant political noise to the site

Apparently the easiest way to go viral here is to post a “Schrödinger’s shitpost”—something that manages to be both factual and satirical at the same time.

LOL ALERT: twitter is now begging very-recently fired employees to come back, saying they were "accidentally" fired "before management realized that their work and experience may be necessary" to enact the crazy shit elon wants.  this is going exactly according to plan.

Twitter Now Asks Some Fired Workers to Please Come Back
- Twitter management trying to bring back dozens of workers
- Some employees now needed or were laid off by mistake

I will say, Tesla stock is starting to look like a Buy IMO…down 50% for the year
if it hits 150, I'm putting an order in

Automatic sell at $150 for folks cause I don’t remember stock picks being one of his expert advice areas!!

well you have to actually own it, to sell it
But I would caution selling at the bottom too

but, can confirm, don't take stock advice from me


although when barron's says be careful, some see that as a buying opp (risky of course)

because of the expert leadership on twitter they now have created this

Whelp Twitter already scrapped the Official Tag only a few hours after launch  :o

and apparently unless I cough up 8.99 or whatever, even less people will see my dumb playlist posts.
