mspart Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 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. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plasmodium Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jross Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasmodium Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Parrish Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 This is a blueprint for repressive governments everywhere.
