X is down? Guess even Elon’s ego couldn’t keep the servers up. This is exactly why I moved to Bluesky. #RIPFreeSpeech #TwitterMeltdown #ByeElon

"The #TwitterMeltdown made me realize something important: I’m a seriously prolific content creator. And I’ve been giving away all that content free to a platform that not only profits from it but treats me like garbage/unfairly…
When I downloaded my #TwitterArchive, it hit me like a ton of bricks that most of that content was not sitting in my website, so they could just disappear if a billionaire decides to cut me off from the platform." #POSSE

Get it through your head: Elon Musk is not really good at this but pretending to be bad at it. He’s just bad at it. This is who is. This is his “genius” at work, performing at the absolute limit of his abilities.

Was ich am #TwitterMeltdown halt auch so schade finde: dass sich das Netz von dort jetzt zerfasert und sich auf verschiedene Alternativen verteilt. Die "Twitter-Community" mit dem Twitter-Schmäh und den typischen Twitter-Diskussionen wird's genauso wie Prä-Musk nie wieder geben. Ich vermiss das alles schon, weil ich hab mich dort digital Daheim gefühlt. Aber im Leben hat halt leider nix ewig Bestand und Veränderungen bringen zum Glück auch neue Chancen.

A big shout out to those arriving or coming back in the current wave of #TwitterMigration thanks to the latest #TwitterMeltdown . Things will feel similar but different. Feel free to ask questions of us #fediverse old hats. We have some tools you didn't see on other places, like Spoiler/Content Warning titles so you can do things like talk about the latest episode of a TV show without worrying about people being pissed since they didn't see it yet. We make it easy to add ALT text to photos for people who need it. It takes a bit more work to get your stream started, by doing things like searching on and following hashtags and then following accounts you see using them. Once you do you are guaranteed to never have some black box algorithm shoveling crap posts at you for extra clicks. You have total control over your experience here because this isn't about milking you and your content dry for dollars. It's a network built and run for the users by the users not some VC investors and their techbro operators with delusions of grandeur.

Random thought: Darth Putin ends most of his tweets/posts with "I remain a master strategist." Maybe there should be a "Darth Musk(rat)" somewhere here in the Fediverse who ends his posts, "I remain a genius innovator"?
