Until now I hadn’t appreciated that were very serious structural problems at Twitter. I thought Elon would make it messy, but it would robustly continue. This below, however, is starting to make me much more concerned.

I came across to Mastodon out of curiosity, fun, sense of opportunity & respect for the concept. Now I’m thinking it’s a vital hedge for us all against serious Twitter risks, including collapse.

@mikegalsworthy and the speed at which it’s happening is stunning.

@stevemundey I hope Twitter survives. It's somewhere for the angry people, the mad fascists and the conspiracy theorists to live and not follow us here.

@Lauretz @stevemundey i'd rather see them go to fedi and try to host their own instances

then promptly fall into perfectionism and bad faith virtue signalling and infighting as they fragment in fediblocking each other (after having been fediblocked by everyone else) and become as weak as the left without any of the mindset that lets the left survive stuff like this

@Lauretz @stevemundey in fairness it's also a phenomenal social hub for disabled people, and the turf in which a lot of essential grassroots activism grows!

Anyway they'll all come here when it folds, so brace yourself. 😂
