Ah, so we've literally come full circle to realizing what he thought he could do differently, he needs to do the exact same way as before.
Please let this shitshow end.

We are as much post-Twitter as we are post-COVID, which is to say, not as much as people would like to think.

Rejecting the objective, measurable, widely-reported reality is not disagreeing with someone. That's rejecting reality. No one should ever be nice to someone rejecting reality unless they're in a situation where they sincerely believe that person needs immediate medical attention

can a blog be an activitypub server, so i don't have to do some rss->mastodon zapier hook or whatever, you could just follow a website directly in mastodon?

Yeah sort of, if you don't want to DIY the whole thing your best bet is https://fed.brid.gy

If you’re also a super old Twitter user let me know by DM if you’d like to participate. But you have to be super old or were involved in that early period. And maybe we can get a conversation going.

Jesus Christ, without Twitter my publisher is going to have to promote my novels the old-fashioned way: by doing it themselves.

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!

whaaat this sounds so cool!

@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?

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.

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?

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
