WTH? I thought we left this type of thing behind us on the #birdsite?
@ladish.bsky.social dude why are you on #Twitter w/ #Grok the most poisonous so-called #AI humans have so far created, enriching #ElonMusk with every post & quote & impression. You could be here on @[email protected] solving #Alignment but instead you're making bigots rich. Please get off the #BirdSite.

Can we now say without hesitation or reservation that Elon Musk is not a good businessman? This beautiful headline about the birdsite from The Atlantic in November last year. About their then latest disastrous new feature. Accidentally revealing what we all already knew.

"Elon Musk’s Worthless, Poisoned Hall of Mirrors"

Elon Musk’s Worthless, Poisoned Hall of Mirrors

How X blew up its own platform with a new location feature

The Atlantic

Well that was fun.

For those who didn't see the shenanigans on #birdsite - turns out my router was garbage. You know, the one the ISP said was _required_ to use their network? It was trash and killing my connection.

Pulled it and ran from the ONT straight to my Eero and had network just fine. But all of my NUCs are hardwired ... so needed a new TP-Link router in front of my 1GB switch before I could get k8s back online.

So glad to have things live again.

Projects, companies, or YouTube channels that still link to a "Twitter" account are doing their users and the internet a gross disservice.

Twitter is gone. It no longer exists. There is X, a fascist propaganda and GenAI revenge porn site, that happened to buy Twitter's database before shutting it down. But that's not Twitter.

Giving X any karma or nostalgia because Musk bought Twitter's user database before destroying it is foolhardy and dangerous, and irresponsible.

When I abandoned the #BirdSite, I went with here, of course, and #BlueSky - mostly for work.
However, as I find people finding their feet on BlueSky, I also highlight #Mastodon and Mastodon.ie in particular.
People seem to appreciate it. If #Mastodaoine are on other platforms, similar direction might be appreciated.

OK, so I spent a few days on the #birdsite, and I learned to fear its algorithm. Why? Because once I began interacting with a few tweets about one same topic, all I saw were posts about that topic. The birdsite got really boring then.

Why do people tolerate such nonsense?

Many years ago in Trump alpha version, I had a twitter account called something like "1930s Reich Family" (I think I named the account "Magda und Detlev"). I posted replies to Trump and trumpish politicians as if I were a Good German Citizen in the 1930s. It was things like "Yes, Leader, we should fear the outsiders because it is clearly they who have taken our jobs, not our national economic policy". As you might imagine, it had zero interaction.

I felt daring posting those things, but (a) nobody noticed or cared, and (b) the things I posted then, which I thought were highly provocative, don't even register on the awfulmeter for the past year.
