I didn’t get booted from Twitter. I temporarily disabled my account. I may or may not go back before the 30 day window where the account is permanently deleted.
@keubiko
Why? I just joined Mastodon to see what the story is?
@keubiko you can always go back and get booted...
@keubiko I'm with ya man. It is hard to be on that hellscape. It's Elon's playground now, very little incentive for me to be on there except for some stock ideas here and there

@PortfolioManager

Probably going to go long some #ferg calls in solidarity with @keubiko tomorrow.

@PortfolioManager Every time I log in it's worse.
@keubiko Yep. And I am getting a lot of TSLA and Elon Musk in the topics. I expect that to continue to heat up in time. Should end up seeing Musk and Musk related companies strewn around the Twitter, especially when equity is involved, issued etc (SpaceX, Neuralink, etc etc) to pamp it all up (as much as possible)
@keubiko thanks for being the impetus for me to try out this platform. would love to see something that refocuses the discussion on investing.
@keubiko
Good to have you on mastodon.
Maybe more people will quit twitter and join mastodon when "big" accounts like yours move here.
@keubiko I keep coming back here, hoping that the K man will show up. Hope to see you here more. There just seem to be fewer Arby's complaints. ;)
@keubiko what is Twitter without keubiko. I finally created a mastadon account
@keubiko Out of curiosity - why this particular server?
@edavidds my understanding of Mastadon is that the server doesn't really matter - just wanted to use one that was open at the time and was on the official Mastodon website. As I understand it I can still see and interact with anyone on any Mastodon server.
@keubiko @edavidds Lol, I picked this server because you did. Nevertheless I think our DD is sufficient on the which-server matter.

@keubiko
FYI, a previous account of mine couldn't be retrieved within 30 days after disabling. Never understood what happened.

Maybe Mastodon or Post or something else will evolve into a good alternative.

@keubiko I wonder to what extent this (Elon's shenanigans) will affect Tesla sales. I suspect all the people saying "cancelled my Tesla order" on Twitter are just the loud ones and won't make a difference, but would love to be pleasantly surprised
@keubiko What is your thinking? Taking a stand? Twitter won’t be the same without you.
@bgrahamdisciple I'll probably reactivate in next 1 to 4 weeks (before permanent deletion kicks in after 30 days), perhaps just to keep the account alive. Just find it turning into a vile place pretty fast.
@keubiko I hear ya. Twitter is definitely going downhill fast. I’ll give Mastodon a try. I have found the Discord experience to be a disaster so far. The info is all there on Discord, but it is somehow buried, like the internet before google search.
@keubiko @bgrahamdisciple why not have a limiting factor, like 15 minutes a day or so, instead of all of nothing? You add value for many of us with your witty, amusing, and informative messages. I’d hate for you to get all serious and take twitter so personal.
@keubiko A lot of normies will end up leaving twitter if he keeps that site's current trajectory.
@jstroik Yes it's rapidly turning into Parler / Truth Social. Given Twitter isn't a complicated technical project, I really wish another large tech player would launch a competitive microblogging site. Alphabet is the natural choice as they could use their extensive Youtube content moderation tech and processes, not to mention ad sales etc. Key is getting critical mass of influencer accounts to kickstart it and solve the chicken/egg problem. Mastadon isn't nearly user friendly enough and isn't a great long-term replacement.

@keubiko @jstroik I wish they would too, but I doubt Alphabet touches it with a 20 ft pole unless their core business really starts to erode.

Every politician wants them fined or broken up - seems like a high-risk move for either them or Facebook.

@keubiko
Received access to Post yesterday. Interface is calm, similar to Twitter. Maybe worth trying as well?
@keubiko come back, we miss you there. Plus you get to shit on Elon on his own platform. And, of course, all the Arby's complaints. How can you live without those here?

@keubiko

Glad to see you here - ideally the majority of fintwit contributors come over and provide a musk-free place to share ideas.
