  @pilhofer Twitter just rug-pulled after 16 years (and an IPO) of me trusting them to be a good steward for my principal online presence

  I don't see how ANY <month old startup could possibly convince me to trust them instead

  If it's not implemented in a way that lets me take control of my own destiny (ala Mastodon/ActivityPub) I'm just not interested

  I think it's funny that ActivityPub has done more decentralization with a few million in total funding versus what blockchain did with tens of billions.

  Okay, look, I can't sleep so you all get the cranky rant: I have seen multiple people responding to my criticism of Cohost and Mastodon, and Shep's criticism of Cohost and Hive, saying that we're just "haters" who are trying to destroy alternatives to Big Tech.

  If you put a service on the internet, people are going to use it to hurt each other. Demonstrating you're aware of the ways they will -- and the ways it can hurt you -- is table stakes for entry in 2022.

  Nobody is victim blaming. What is being said is that had these cyclists been more cautious and obeyed their own traffic control devices that he wouldn't have been hit. I am more than willing to give these cyclists a safety course.

  
  

  In your still frame, you've circled the crosswalk as it's counting down, it's well over 9 seconds at that point. I'm sure you're aware that crosswalk signals start counting down while it's still safe for pedestrians to be crossing.

  A pedestrian who has started crossing a roadway on a signal showing “Walk” or any other approved symbol to proceed shall proceed with dispatch to a sidewalk or safety island while a signal is showing “Wait” or “Don’t Walk”

  I saw that still and I asked him why they waited for the signal to start blinking don't walk.

  
  

  I don't think I want to live in your world where it's perfectly acceptable to plow down pedestrians for entering the crosswalk the split second it starts counting down.
  
  That driver blew the red light, there's no situation in which a pedestrian or biker is at fault for that.

  I'm sorry, please point out exactly where I said it was ok to plow down pedestrians.
  

  Acting as though the cyclists did anything unreasonable here is just not a good faith argument. I'm not sure what you wanted them to do differently.
  
  Keep in mind that if he *had* started crossing any earlier, the van would have hit more than his front wheel.

  But I'm still waiting for you to point out where I said it's ok for a driver to plow through pedestrians
  

  I will admit I jumped to conclusions when you cited ORS 814 if you admit that it is victim blaming and wrong to say that the cyclists contributed to this incident at all

  I feel like Mastodon is doing a great job, as is Discord. I was getting the word out on my blog, podcast, youtube, forums, and other platforms long long before Twitter existed. I think we will be OK. Always bet on the Open Web IMHO 😍

  You guys are really trying to find Twitter alternatives your audience won’t go to instead of just starting an email list huh?
  
  Like another app can’t go down, or get bought by someone you dislike?
  
  Just start a damn email list.
  
  You’re welcome . 😂
  

  Email, the original social network 😇

  For anyone still wondering how content moderation is going to work on here now, here’s what Elon Musk said at an employee Q&A about his planned moderation council:
  
  “This is an advisory council. I will hear what they have to say and I will either agree with it or I won’t.”

  Do I want an @insta360 X3? For those who have them… do you use it often or does it get old quickly? https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1594839732969693184
  

  I have the X2 and it's a lot of fun! I mostly use it for 360 photos and time warp videos. Using the editor is a little time consuming, and I definitely wouldn't edit anything longer than 30 seconds with it.
