While I'm fascinated in a grim way by what's going on over at Twitter, does anyone else feel uneasy with how much of the discussion on here is about 'That Place' and Musk?

It feels a bit like constantly talking about your ex while you're dating someone new...

@IamAlyosha there seems to be a genuine sense of panic over there at the moment, to be fair

@mrnathannelson I should think so!

Without getting sucked back into 'Discourse' what makes Twitter is not the software (though people seriously underestimate what's going on there) - it's the people who've spent quite literally years building up communities and followings.

The idea that some kind of black swan event could just knock it off in a matter of weeks or months is frankly mind-blowing.

I feel awful for some of the great people over there who don't know where to go next!
