OH. I just found out Emerald Status means I get to use the first class check in at Heathrow with your own security line 😱

I’ve been standing in security lines for no reason all year 😅

Are you serious, I was just there on Friday and waited in the normal line I had no idea 🤯

Now we’re moving into nice little bed-and-breakfast places, but we’re complaining because it takes slightly more effort to book a room, and the free WIFI isn’t as fast." https://mxb.dev/blog/the-indieweb-for-everyone/

Yep! I simply don't see how someone with millions followers practically would *work* with this protocol

Ironically the problem is already solved if the protocol worked the other direction, aka the web. We know how to scale websites to be able to be accessed by millions of people at a time.

@aaronpk yeah, it's because legit advertisers are fleeing Twitter.

I didn't expect the change to be so dramatic so fast

Has anyone else noticed their suggested tweets as well as ads on twitter have gotten significantly worse today?

Reading about the tech stack undergirding most Mastodon/fediverse instances, and I am sadly not optimistic that there is a practical path to scale this past a small fraction of twitter's size in the medium term

It's actually worse than that, the protocol itself needs some serious work to scale it up too.

In summary:

(1) Family time is limited—cherish it.

(2) Friend time is limited—prioritize real ones.

(3) Partner time is significant—never settle.

(4) Children time is precious—be present.

(5) Coworker time is significant—find energy.

(6) Alone time is highest—love yourself.

It’s easy to feel smug about the crypto collapse, but honestly who could’ve predicted that an asset with no intrinsic value of any kind would eventually become worthless?

All this Twitter drama makes me really appreciate YouTube’s leadership team and the support they have for creators.

It’s not a perfect platform, but it’s the best.

The early crypto skeptics deserve more credit.

Not only did they call all of this, they did so in the face of constant shaming and harrassment. (Not to mention everyone pointing to the increasing value of their crypto wallets as evidence that they were wrong.)
