Please stop acting like Mastodon is the "Linux of Twitter." It's literally just Twitter with the signup process of email or old IM clients. The normal use is virtually identical.
Not even close to the accessibility issues of Linux.
Does it need work? Yes. Stop writing shit off.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

If I were them I’d post the full content on the internal slack, which cannot be problematic, thus making it very easy for anyone to have plausible deniability if they leaked the information outside.

I've never been involved in this heavier side of network infrastructure, but I have reported on hundreds of cases over the years on ThreatWire, and how easily things catch fire.

This shit ain't overblown folks. It takes an army to keep a platform working as normal.

I’m not going to tolerate a cult of reality deniers. Simply mentioning that most of company (bird) has been fired or quit is not political or biased.
