Twitter is better

[mspart]

Space X did what he wanted and a little more.   Twitter, I'm not on twitter so I have no idea.   Just what I read about it.   So far, his payroll at Twitter is much lower than when he bought it.

They put a nice spin on their unscheduled disassembly at Space X.  Classic engineering humor, which I enjoyed.

Community Notes is a huge improvement.

Read about Bluesky social the other day.  Serious funding, proven leadership.  Given all Twitter's current issues, it could be following bud light down the drain.

Too bad there’s never been a promising alternative to Facebook.

The introduction of Bluesky will have little impact on Twitter's daily active users.

Bluesky has a decentralized social media protocol, to enable greater user control and to distribute control among multiple parties.  This sounds like Reddit, the largely decentralized social media platform, that is a cesspool of poor and biased content moderation.  Reddit is worse than Twitter was when controlled by Jack.  

Twitter started out fine and went the way of Bud Light before Elon bought it and brought sanity back.

Bluesky doesn't look or feel anything like reddit to me.   Reddit is useful if you stick to the niche reddits of interest to you.  Outside of there, it is the saddest and most depressing site on the internet.

This is a blueprint for repressive governments everywhere. If Twitter doesn't censor the content you want, simply threaten to cut off the service. Its owner just put it in writing.

What part of “the twitter files” did you not understand?  Please be advised: this is a rhetorical question.

It’s not my position, it’s the evidence.  What did the twitter files reveal?
