    Would’ve been better as a Mastodon instance. As it is it’s yet another proprietary garbo platform

      My neighbor told me fascists keep buying his proprietary social media platforms so I asked how many proprietary platforms he uses and he said he just goes to a new platform whenever it happens so I said it sounds like he’s just growing social media platforms to sell to fascists and then his daughter started crying.

    It is quite funny, at the same time, twitter.now is investor powered garbage again (like why the fuck do you need investors for shit like that?).

    So better to stay away and watch the shitshow, because musk is not done and it was just a judge’s comment, not definitive ruling.

      If you’re aiming to scale into a genuine competitor you need servers, infrastructure and engineers so you’re either already wealthy or you get investment.

      This is basic economics.

        It’d be funny if they just used Grok to vibe code everything too.

        Nope. I respectfully disagree.

        If your software is good, people will come and stay. Especially if you build on a known brand, which is basically free marketing.

        Investors are only needed for the super lazy engineers who still believe using hyperscalers is the way to go, instead of optimizing your software.

      White tie – specifically a wing collar shirt and a white bow tie. I’m not sure what’s on the collar at the nape of his neck, but it would be funny if it was a clip.
