Twitter facilitated exactly what Elon set out to do with it.

It costs a lot to become vice president, especially if you weren't born in America

I just hope federal services (like applying for a passport) don't become Twitter-only after Trump appoints Elon as Secretary of Enshittification.

I've made a huge mistake breaking my personal rule to avoid all political content and I've regretted that immediately

It’s more than 4 years. We just crawled out of Trump inflation and now are going right back in.

Dismantling and breaking is easy. They can do a lot of that in 4 yrs. Building takes decades.

There’s also a global effect. Would Putin have ever attacked Ukraine without a Trump term? How about Israel’s taking self defense into genocide territory?

America leads by example and the last example was an impulsive 3 yo with a giant military force and a dead diplomacy department in the executive branch. There’s permissiveness in that.

Thing is, mate.....fascists rarely stay inside their boarders. This is going to be the whole world's problem in about 3 months.

Bummer that isn’t mastodon but any inconvenience to musk is appreciated

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 day ago (7 children)

I say this as someone who likes fediverse microblogging (Mastodon, MissKey, etc) it will never be Mastodon. Mastodon and its maintainers are staunchly against all the things that would make it a viable replacement to Twitter.

Actually not a bummer in my opinion, let people sort into different platforms based on their interests like we used to do with forums.

A fragmented internet is a better internet

Countdown until it turns out that everybody associated with any competition to Musk's companies just so happens to be a criminal Trump siccs his DOJ after: 5... 4...

I wouldn't discount the possibility that bsky is backed by the same dark money pool that bought twitter. putin found that it's way too easy to buy elections worldwide just using social media. They'll never give it up.

It needs A) same functionality B) ban all forms of racism, especially Zionism and C) refuse investment from undemocratic nations like GCC or China

I wonder if the next president could do something to stop that… seems like the head of DOGE might like it (or not, if that means contrarians disappear and stop "community noting" his posts, and allow for a more echoey chamber)
