    The thing that pisses me off is the board and Parag were doing the “right” thing by selling for maximized shareholder value that then destroyed everything they’d built. How is this ok? The twitter shareholders got a payday but employees, users, and society all lose.

    Happy to announce that Lost for Words, my wife Ami's new card game, is out now!

    https://lostforwords.cards/

    It's a game that lets you explore hard-to-translate feelings from around the world, with over 300 words from over 70 languages.

    Like the rest of the Pink Tiger Games catalog, I made the website and helped with the visual design and editing. Check it out!

    @aaronpk I've built a custom backend for Overland (thx for building it!) and am gathering data now. Wanted to ask what cloud service(s) you use to look up city from point, weather from point?
    Aaron Parecki
    Nice! If it's available to others I'll link to it from the page!

    All the tools I use for location lookups are here, you can dig into the source code for details, or run your own copy! https://github.com/aaronpk/Atlas

    Just a reminder that more users is not inherently more success for a tool where market control and profit aren’t the goals. Mastodon has been successful for its users for years and will continue to be, even if it doesn’t “replace Twitter” for the global populous. That’s fine.

    You guys are investing so much energy on this! 😅 I am planning to stick to the bird while it’s viable and only start doing anything with 🐘 if 💩 hits the 🚁

    I don't know how you can look at *waves arms in this general direction* and think everything is still fine! 😅 https://twitterisgoinggreat.com

    I wish it was possible to do this with just GitHub workflow and GitHub pages.
    Aaron Parecki
    Tell me about it! I tried really hard to push for simplicity in the spec, to enable exactly that use case, but sadly did not win that argument.

    How did you choose your Mastodon provider?
    Aaron Parecki
    or you can be your own provider! I wrote up some options that don't involve running your own Mastodon instance here: https://aaronparecki.com/@aaronpk

    People grumbling that Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax.

    Here’s what people I talked to at Twitter are saying.

    Anyone who says they know what’s going on at Twitter is lying. No one there even knows how many people quit. It’s likely that Elon doesn’t even know. They’ll probably have to do an actual head count when they open on Monday

    @aaronpk That's not too bad! I had expected a much heavier message load. What are you running your instance on?

    Aaron Parecki
    Keep in mind I'm only following just over 100 people right now. It's a bunch of hand-rolled code.

    @aaronpk What's the unit on the y-axis? If it's posts-per-day that doesn't look too bad, but I suspect that's not it 😀

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah it is! well not "posts" exactly, but all ActivityPub messages received per day.

    @aaronpk What determines that number? Is it something like the combined number of messages posted by the people you follow and the people that follow you?

    Aaron Parecki
    There's a lot of things. Posts from everyone I follow. Replies and likes of those posts. If you delete a post it sends a Delete activity. There's also a *ton* of redundant account Delete activities sent for some reason too.

    Pushshift is already seeing a larger number of server side errors coming back from Twitter's API. Approximately 25-30% of all API requests are now failing.

    Generally we see a failure rate well under 1%. Error rates have been increasing steadily since Nov 16.

    You're laughing. Instagram accounts that gained hundreds of thousands of followers entirely by posting twitter screenshots are losing the source of their livelihood and you're laughing.

    for what it's worth: 10th floor, 2pm, 6months could very well be variables to figure out your source. If you send a bunch of emails with different floors, times and durations you can narrow it down to the person exactly.
