Hello new followers … it’s apparently purge night on Twitter. If you wouldn’t mind, please introduce yourself if we don’t know each other and I don’t follow you. We all have to make a new community here. Thanks. My intro is pinned.
I can’t help thinking of my days in the restaurant business, where I learned that the restaurateur can improve the landlord’s space, but the landlord keeps the improved space even if he evicts you. I feel like we all improved the hell out of Twitter, but it’s not a space we own, and the new landlord is an asshole. Hopefully a distributed site like this can work, but be mindful of what we own & what we don’t.
@Dbrauer Same for any property you rent. Ultimate control is in the hands of the owner. You can be asked to leave at any time
@Berg make sure what you make you can take with you
@Dbrauer Unfortunately, the decked is stacked against the "common folk." People like Elon will always have the upper hand monetarily. The rest of us can merely show them money isn't everything. I think that's actually happening now.
@Berg weirdly I think there are some reasonable efforts to participate in. Like this one. Distributed money so far is a ponzi but distributed community is worth hoping for.
@Dbrauer 100% agree, and I don't think that is weird. I think of that as normal. The other stuff is weird.
