My motivation to work on anything Twitter(or even Mastodon) related went from "near zero but still above it" to "down right negative" with everything going on. Maybe I should just take a sabbatical after 8 years of Better TweetDeck and just see what happens.

Fuck you, Elon.

and that's why it takes round-the-clock oncall teams to keep fixing it

otherwise it stops working

we suspect there's going to be a practical demonstration of this at some point in the next 24 hours. truly quite tragic, especially for the workers who spent years of their lives making it all go. also very bad for independent creators whose revenue was tied to the thing.

love to post about @atomicthumbs's Twitter thread about Mastodon on Mastodon and getting mentions absolutely proving his points about Mastodon being hard to grasp.

Really the "Linux of social media" phrase to describe Mastodon keeps getting truer and truer.

the linux of social media:

-Impossible to understand unless you're already deep into its ecosystem

-Getting yelled at for not understanding it

-You're using the wrong one

And if you have the gall of using it, understanding it and saying that maybe it's not the most approachable of all things you're automatically the enemy and friend with the corporations
