*Yawn* I know, but I don't really care. It's the "Canada" you were going to move to
Sorry I'm from the otherside of the Atlantic pond (a.k.a. an Evil Euro-Communist), so I didn't get your "Canada" joke.
Having fun mastodoning on your private server?
As a matter of fact, yes I do have a great time on the Fediverse.
I don't feel missing out on Xitter (I haven't used really used that crap in 2023).
A per your own source, it's 500million pairs of eyeballs.
Yeah, only 500M people? Garsh, you're right, it's nothing, they might as well shut down, the pikers, lol.
Yes, the real world doesn't much care about Xitter. Only a few tiny communities on it care. Do you how often serious largescale marketing and public communication campaign want to include "Xitter influencers"? Answer is never.
They are only interested in the larger players:
- that have 1 or multiple billions users.
- that can publish a little bit more information than an SMS.
(My significant other is a consultant at a company that subcontracts large public communication campaigns, her experience also matches my above statements)
I'm sure Elon cries himself to sleep
Oh, I am sure the Melon Husk is fine! He is absolutely not going through a divorced dad's midlife crisis, blowing stupidly money on pointless projects that can't be turned profitable, manufacturing a meme-car that would make Homer Simpson's car jealous, torturing apes because he thinks that this will somehow allow him one day to upload his consciousness, etc.
He likes to fancy himself as some kind of genius inventor, but in practice is just a not too bad bullshit artist with way too much money who managed to lucky on a couple of projects (usually by joining late projects that were already on a successful track and pretending he invented them, then eventually pushing his crappy ideas, unless said project have dedicated people at managing the ego of the Melon).
How do you really think he is CEO of several companies? Does he really work 100% at each? Or is he merely the guy with tons of money and tons of connections whose ego needs management?
Xitter was already headed in the direction of becoming a dumpster fire of misinformation, conspiracy theories and a whole rainbow of various forms of hatespeach, before the acquisition and firing of mods. The new CEO has merely started to speed run the enshittification process.
but hey, Xitter is owned by the richest man in the world, he can surely keep losing billions on his new toy without ever turning a profit, right?
Wow, that vivid description of the "80% of the worthless dirty censorious fucks" who got f-f-f-fired really got your dander up, didn't it?
oh, poor snowflake, show us where the evil woke moderator hurt you! Oh, did they/them hurt your feelings and your freeze peach?
I merely noticing that over the years Twitter is increasingly full of all of the worst of the gutter of humanity. If you enjoy the crap on Twitter and find it better than before, I guess our interests and values are on polar opposites.
