    I love that at no point, when everyone's talking about what other platforms we're gonna bail to, is Facebook ever considered an option lol

    That's another aspect to this that is so poignant for me, personally. I tried to make Twitter better. I tried to make Twitter the fediverse, back in 2008, and after I failed, I left and tried to make the fediverse a thing without Twitter.

    Turns out cryptocurrency is as much of a scam as we all said…the entire time.

    Twitter now feels like the end of a party that went way too long. Everyone is drunkenly on the sidewalk, hugging and saying their goodbyes; all the while, the house has caught on fire.

    I've run an online social website for 4 years now. I host it on my servers and not a 3rd-party website. If you want to keep up with me and a few thousand other people, come over. We talk money, pets, parenting, and dank memes. I give out cute badges for $0 https://forum.ohmydollar.com/

    @aaronpk To ensure the posts are deleted, mastodon sends the Delete activities to all known servers regardless of follower relationships!

    Aaron Parecki
    I don't see why it makes any sense to notify my instance about things that my instance has never been notified about before. That goes for both posts as well as accounts.

    @aaronpk Combined deletes, delete+redraft and scheduled deleting of old toots.

    Aaron Parecki
    It's more than that, most of them are account deletion messages from accounts that I've never seen before

    @aaronpk maybe people fixing up their toots multiple times?

    Aaron Parecki
    Nope, the vast majority are account delete messages. There's one instance in particular that sends repeated account delete messages, but overall it's mostly deletes from accounts I've never heard of.

    I'm sorry to all of my followers who are still taking this Twitter news seriously. I just cannot with it anymore 😂

    any earnest discussion about what Twitter™ should do just feels pointless now

    @aaronpk I’m killing my Twitter on Sunday so I’ll have to rely on you for trash fire updates

    Aaron Parecki
    ok but hear me out, don't actually delete your account, just tombstone it so that nobody can steal your username. I did that with my facebook a few years ago.

    NEW: Twitter has suspended the launch of Twitter Blue and is actively trying to stop people from subscribing "to help address impersonation issues," per an internal note. 1/

    You have to open twitter, log in on the car, place your phone on the ground and then run it over to scan the QR code that appears underneath the vehicle and it has to be scanned while you are listening to the new Taylor Swift album or it won’t work.

    @aaronpk I don't know for sure but I do know that some people auto-delete toots after N days so maybe that software is going wild.

    Aaron Parecki
    from what I can tell, there's one instance that's going haywire sending me hundreds of delete messages per month for the same set of accounts. Other than that, I've been getting account delete messages for accounts I've never seen before. Seems not ideal.

    soooo ActivityPub, can we talk?

    I ran some stats on the types of messages my single-user instance has received in its lifetime:

    Create: 257,378
    Announce (boosts, whatev): 39,168
    Like: 16,723

    These all seem normal.

    Delete: 386,953 🤯

    Why have I received more Delete activities than all other messages combined??
