if your life isn't enriched by content such as this, i feel sorry for you.

killing a well known and recognised logo and brand is generally not considered good marketing. its big enough it probably doesn't matter though. its unclear what the purpose is, suggestions there is a bigger move to come including payments. there's a view he has unfinished business from when...

there is direct correlation between popularity and dickheads. if Mastodon becomes popular, there will be more people, more views you dont like or attention seeking. web3 doesnt solve many technical issues because its backward technology, distributing the parts which are more efficent when...

i'm probably missing something obvious (forced upgrades?), but how exactly is your Tesla going to be negatively impacted by anything Musk does? and if concern is about company forced upgrades, thats not something to give faith for any EV or remote modifiable object.

serious? as in "tooting ones horn"?

sounds like he's going a bit like Howard Hughes, he was intellegent but went bit mad. changed the logo to Doge overnight, not sensible thing to do. the site is still running, despite so many expecting a firey collapse, but as a business there's many questionable decision. if it goes under...

firstly, chap needs to calm down calling something on a glorified chat room "terrifying". secondly this shit policy will be gamed by any and all sides. i dont really know why he would believe only the far-right have the ability to band together. if its all so terrible, just leave.

inherent problem of open, decentralised systems. if only there were ways to independently verify an identity... 🙄 basic signing been around for decades, woefully underused.

great data, but how the hell did you curate a list of 100k+ accounts? i must be using twitter different to many, think i've blocked about a dozen arses, generally filter by not trawlling though areas i dont like.

weird isnt it? i seem to recall Trump hasnt actually asked to be reinstated yet.

they wont know what platform to jump to. dont think the microblog concept works well if there's multiple platforms, relies on metcalfe's law, everyone in the same place. who's heard or used Mastadon and alternatives until this week?

a business function change, with some new backend system to manage payments etc. decison process leading to apply change to an account. front end app shouldn't need touching. likewise removing moderation doesnt change the app functionality. bad code usually keeps going until someone pokes...

well thats the thing, dont believe they need many. once set up and stable something like twitter needs very little oversight. i often what the legions of staff these companies do, and judging by some ticktoks its day care for millenial/gen z who got a tech degree. actual engineering on the...

thats pretty unlikely. its a simple app, with some very clever algorithm in the back, it could and should run with minimal intervention.

of course it is, theres a man with a beer and part of a beer brand. thats sensistive to USians who dont like anyone drinking.

well Trump and his followers seem to say that a lot.

trouble is often the people and journalist are perptuating the lies, because they suit a particular narrative. thats the flaw in free speech, its not necessarily correct or inoffensive, then people call for some moderation, the moderation has bias, then people scream about free speech and so on.

that wouldnt work. i expect the same process to aquire the blue tick by invitation/nagging, some validation of the person, now with an added fee.

tbf there are a lot of people that care about their followers being duped by fakes. where reputation matters, the blue tick is important. there's nothing else in the UI to authenticate someone (or generaly on t'interweb).

so why does everyone seem to care so much? why people simply not shrug and move on?
