There's an ethical consideration when you sell a company. Dorsey and co. took a big payout and this is the result. I was thinking earlier about how this probably wouldn't have been happened if you had an even equity split across the company's employees.

Good, isn't this what people want? Twitter to shut down? I've been hoping he just closes up shop and gets rid of it.

I'm starting to believe Elon never cared about twitter. He only bought the userbase and is doing whatever with it. That's sad. Twitter is just not what it once was.

that's cool. The Masto instance I've been on for the last half year is no longer available and I'll have to start over because I didn't have a main and a back up account like I ended up with on Lemmy, but sure, that's alright. I have no idea what happened, the instance still has a blank page up, but it ain't Mastodon.

I was finally feeling moved in but now, kaput.

I don't think this thing was really ready for absolutely everyone on Twitter to bail onto it, is the problem. I don't think it was ever supposed to be. It was always supposed to be like a clubhouse for people who didn't mind being the dweebs of the internet.

The term soaring is pretty relative in this case. It's still completely unknown to the majority of the world. It's just like Lemmy, where the very few rigid types that absolutely couldn't stand for one particular thing that happened to their social network will do anything, including cutting their nose off to spite their face rather than continue to use it. That's why we're all here and it's why nobody else but us are coming.

Someone in an unrelated discussion, wrote on LinkedIn that blackberry was profitable and grew for a few years after iPhone was anounced. The same for blockbuster after Netflix came to business. Then he was asking on what technologies today will be obsolete because an iPhone has emerged. For me lemmy or mastodon although slow but slowly will eat the competitors as they develop.

For me I am still reading Reddit since lots of information is there. But I am avoiding on participating there.

I don’t think I cared about Twitter, the entire duration of its existence, and now there’s a whole new thing that’s apparently the same and I still don’t care about

Soaring? 2.1M users is soaring? I'm all for the Fediverse, but it will never reach mainstream social media numbers, and honestly I hope it doesn't.

Thank you Elon ❤️ 🤣🤣

Good, Twitter is a disgrace to humanity

if there was (more) portuguese content in mastodon I'd move to it
