Taylor LorenzI spoke to Dril about Elon’s reign at Twitter, his thoughts on Twitter alternatives, freedom of speech, and his favorite moments on the platform https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/22/dril-musk-twitter-future/ #tech #technology #twitter #twittermigration #twittermigrate
djohngo@taylorlorenz I would go to any platform dril is on except Hive. I can feel their mean girl energy from all the way across the internet.

@djohngo oh you nailed exactly how I feel about it.
Aleen@taylorlorenz that must have been a surreal conversation
Brent "the birdman" Loon@taylorlorenz it's a funny interview but I'm a bit disappointed he didn't answer at least somewhat seriously.
Alex Danvers@taylorlorenz reading the start, I thought he really was a Musk stan… but then reading the interview below I thought he was being insane and absurd and doesn’t believe in anything. Which… yeah, I should have seen that coming.
One thing I still feel ambivalent about is whether that’s good enough. Do you want someone to just be an absurd nihilist who makes fun of everything, or do you want to hold some values sacred?
Martin Dennehy@adanvers @taylorlorenz an absurd nihilist would probably say it's a pointless question
@Marthorse @taylorlorenz I mean, absurd nihilist is my take on the interview response—but it’s mostly just saying weird stuff to try to get a reaction. Idk if you have a better way to characterize it.
@adanvers @taylorlorenz I'd probably call him a disembler I guess. Either way I miss weird twitter
Kirk Kittell@taylorlorenz I always hear Hunter S. Thompson in my head as dril's voice when I read his posts. I hope the interview was as fun as it sounds on this side.
Sarah T. Roberts, Ph.D.@taylorlorenz @Chanders thank you for doing the Lorde’s work.
Isaac Erbele, MD@taylorlorenz That kicker is perfection
DidierVdM@taylorlorenz As far as I’m concerned we can stop talking about Twitter. I left it as soon as Elon asked the yellow-haired liar back to the platform, realizing it was lost forever. Twitter is dead for me, forever. So let’s talk about the better version, Mastodon.
Mandahlane@taylorlorenz I am questioning my entire existence having been on Twitter since 2007 and never heard of dril.
Jake Mannix@mandahlane @taylorlorenz are you sure you *do* exist, if you don't know dril?
I guess there is life in deep volcanic undersea vents, so we can't rule anything out, but you might want to look into your "existence", a bit, it might be a bit wobbly!
@pbrane @taylorlorenz this actually made me log back in to see if i'd somehow managed to be blocked by this person.
Wobbly indeed!

@Andres4NY @taylorlorenz Wow that's devoid of critical thought.
@qag @taylorlorenz He's being sarcastic (the entire rest of the interview makes that clear)
@Andres4NY @taylorlorenz There’s no way to tell reality from satire now.
Michael Roston@taylorlorenz you nailed this imo
Tim Pierce@taylorlorenz This interview is fantastic. Absolutely nutso good.

Seann@taylorlorenz I fav his tweets, you get pull quotes for a newspaper article. We are not the same.
Daniel@taylorlorenz incredible. thank you
Michael Narciso@taylorlorenz I loved all his responses. Knowing too much about this person takes away all the fun.
Katie@taylorlorenz This is wonderful.
NateG Voice Work@taylorlorenz As chaotic an interview as I would expect of dril. I can imagine talking to him felt as fever-dreamish as reading his tweets can be
Dell Cameron 🐈⬛@taylorlorenz “The show Westworld, that’s what it’s like out there.”
EmmaDingle@taylorlorenz he is absolutely ridiculous and I appreciate that. He and Darth and @IamHappyToast (who's here!! 🥳🥳🥳) have always made the t'internet fun.
Matt Wood@taylorlorenz so I am supposed to have not just heard of this guy, but adore him? Thanks for letting me know, because I had no idea.
Beth #MillionsMissing@taylorlorenz such a perfect interview.
Mark Poppen 🇳🇱🇨🇦@taylorlorenz The quote about Mastodon isn't wrong. It took me a while to sign up, just because I was confused about how to join a server and what that would do.
