They didn’t fire one. They fired 1500. Including most of the Wapped team.

They fired the whole wrapped team and replaced them with some AI nonsense.

A fool and his money… you know. Anybody who is buying fake money with real money deserves what they get.

^^ this. In America the only vote that really matters is the one you do with your wallet.

This seems like something easy to do to empower regular people. Will make a lot more difference than those political campaign donations I made last year 😐

Twitter no longer belongs in the “tech news” category. They aren’t running it like a tech company anymore with tech company goals.

That’s entirely up to us!

I’m thinking about this also. I felt the same about WF. I don’t want to invest energy in medium or another commercial enterprise that will just wipe my content someday.

I’m starting to think the answer is to throw away the idea of a blog as its own entity. Post your content in the appropriate community in the fediverse, and self host communities you can’t find or trust. Decentralize your blog content as much as possible.

Thanks! It’s a real thing I started IRL in the before-times, in the spirit of 18th century thinkers. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Society_of_Birmingham ) It’s the ideal I have for Lemmy so it made sense to run my instance using that name.

Yup. These things have been carefully crafted to dodge these legal issues. It will not be easy to pin them down.

^^^^^ 🛎️ 🛎️ 🛎️ This! Anything but forever-growth is a failure, and the hype train must roll forward… even if the tracks it’s riding on are bubble gum and wishes.

Agreed. Reddit is dead to me. This community is the primary.

They should be doing more than “watching”. They have two months of functioning government left. Don’t waste it

Seriously. I cannot wait for the hype about these stochastic parrots to die.

Do. Not. Want.

There will be an AI for that too!

Everything looks like a nail when you have a hammer…

Maybe we need a Twitter bot. An open source one that many people can run. Use all of the dormant accounts to just constantly remind people that millions have left and they should also.

Yeah they are pretty sweet in person. The prices are dropping fast, I’m seeing them for $15k. Even with some potential repair costs and having to figure it out myself (since there’s no warranty) that’s a pretty amazing deal.
