  • Let's face it.  Twitter is done.  Elon Musk has killed it by laying off half the employees, banning remote work, adding a monthly subscription cost, and even considering putting content behind a paywall.

    Twitter users are looking for a new home, and many of them are flocking to Mastodon.  This is a distributed social media that's been around for several years, and lets you host your own serverDarkshade even has an instance!

    It's like twitter, but tweets are called toots (following the elephant theme) and accounts are named @user@server.  You can follow me @diddly@darkshade.social

  • It really seems Musk is trying to kill Twitter completely.  Now he's demanding the remaining employees to work long hours at high intensity or be fired.  After also firing employees on Twitter for daring to correct false statements, he's not inspiring any loyalty.
