Yeah everyone should just return to using forums.

I agree with this man, forums are superior to social media, everyone should switch to using forums as their way of talking on the internet!

[MaxTheFox]

Chatrooms of any kinds are valid too.

Literally nothing has changed so far from my POV. Except now we have a dumb futurist trying to make sense of a 4 billion dollar expense he had pinned on his head after trying for months on end to wriggle out of. For now, I'm happy with that development. Good start for kharmic retribution.

Now let's see if the rot propagades to Tesla's stocks.

*44 billion. Also as a socialist futurist, fuck him and I hope he and all of his businesses burn.

Mastodon FTW.

[Ziusudra]

Twitter shuts offices for day as it cuts 50% of workforce; staff already suing

Mastodon is fine, though I've not found many I want to follow yet. Edit: and as soon as I say that I get errors trying to load

[King Zultan]

I'm lost is a mastodon some new social media crap or is it still just a hairy elephant and we're all excited about them for some reason?

[Eric Blank]

I thought it was a band (and a hairy dead elephant)

Yeah apparently it's a new social media app, go figure

[Ziusudra]

6 years old apparently.

[Cathar]

Submitted my application today, just in case
I'm not leaving Twitter out of morbid curiosity and because my art gets some eyeballs there, episodically. But the elephant looks nice too.

Edit : Here we go. I'll check this out during a couple weeks and I'll see where I stay in the end.

[Starver]

I checked out Mastadon, from afar, a while ago (only six years old..? ...I thought it was longer, but Wiki confirms that) and liked the principle, but hadn't an over-riding reason to jump on (either replacement or backup to Twitter, or as protest to it). But it makes me wish I could think of something worthwhile I could use it for - or at least significantly transient - just to boost its use. Which sort of applied to me in the initial days of Twitter. (I was an early-non-adopter! I was not on it almost from the beginning!)

Maybe I'll also fail to get onto the next bandwagon as well. But I'd feel stupid not ever using something that fails almost immediately, so I'll keep my nose to the ground whilst I have my ear to the grindstone in other things.

This is the online equivalent of a refugee crisis.

This is the online equivalent of a refugee crisis.

Yeah, it is a sight to behold. But also kinda concerning, at least for me.

At least it's not us. We are so incredibly isolated lmao.

[Tiruin]

Hum hum T_T Keeping watch on this (but also have been ever since this debacle happened). Really wondering how to keep in touch with other trans researchers because Twitter has been great in contacting them and actually knowing others are there.

[The_Explorer]

Well since I made this topic.

Tbh I stopped caring. I figured Elon was gonna take it over, that was a done deal. And as predicted its just a right wing extremist hub now with some liberals and democrats not wanting to leave for whatever reason.

I ended up just staying on it though. There isn't (yet) a better alternative to find relatively "real" time data on ukraine stuff, taiwan/china stuff and a lot of other news that doesn't need to be political (find a lot of science stuff too). I hope it goes the way of facebook and myspace though.
