  The Elon hate rings shallow with me. He is a national treasure. I do like your videos Aaron.

  @aaronpk why don't more of these 'free speech absolutist' technologists curate a part of the web they can absolutely control?

  @aaronpk What if he offers you 46 billion dollars for it?

  I mean, then I'll move hosting providers, that's kind of the point ☺️

  Correct take. If this Twitter-Musk episode goes nowhere and does nothing beyond exposing the advantages of decentralized media over centralized media, it will have been beneficial. #Mastodon

  This sounds like a challenge for @elonmusk :)

  we will be the premiere website on the Internet for that audience, yes. It will be easy once he bans posts about how he's a dumb persons idea of a smart person

  Yes, but can you convince your audience to make the effort to come to you for that content? I'm not here on Twitter for you and yet we're engaging.

  there's a *lot* of space between Twitter and static sites. But if you really want to go with a static site deployment model, there's lots of options for adding dynamic bits to make them work more like twitter: indieweb.org/static_site

  In this case, I'm confident I can find a large audience who will agree with my central thesis

  As any owner of a random website will tell you, things like Twitter aren't about the publishing, it's about the audience finding what you published.

  Yeah, but how do you subscribe to your mutuals on your website? And how do they answer you? I know there is ATOM/RSS, Tracebacks/Pingbacks and Comments. But how to add the latter to Static Sites?

  if he buys Twitter, I'll make my own version of it from scratch just so I can keep posting about how he sucks 👍

  Interesting how some read this as being about hating Elon Musk, when the real message is about the internet being free and staying free. Twitter or Musk is not the whole story. aaronparecki.com/2022/04/14/8/w…

  I’d totally sell my website to Elon for the right amount 😉

  A trademark lawyer might say otherwise. Also the US and many other countries currently lack net neutrality laws.
