i'm still almost exclusively posting on Twitter

i also have a habit of being the last one to leave,
so... 😅

@WhimGruent

There is a warning out now about saying too long. EM wants to sell your data....... Google it.

@OldeHippi i looked a bit and didn't find it. Do you have a link to something?
Twitter plans to force users to share data with advertisers

Users might be able to opt out if they susbcribe to $8 Twitter Blue – but that would breach Apple rules on data sharing, Platformer reports.

@WhimGruent It was a nasty takeover. He bought it to destroy it, it seems......

@OldeHippi it really does look that way, doesn't it?

it's sad to witness

@WhimGruent Very sad. It feels like a crime, but he just keeps battering away, smashing #Twitter to a form we can't recognize.

I wish he could be arrested for what he is doing.

@OldeHippi on the other hand, Twitter was feeling a bit long in the tooth and that we were getting close to another sea change in main shared social media location.

i just didn't expect it to be so ... *thrusts hands out* BLEAGH!

anyway, i'm curious to see how this shakes out for places like Mastodon and Post. Mostly really just these two, for now.
So far, my bets are on both of them surviving.

Edit: may i ask if you happen to be on Post?

@WhimGruent Not on POST yet - on the wait list. I am liking Mastodon, tho. 😊

@OldeHippi right on. i guess we'll see how it all shakes out.

i think Post would be better if it had two columns instead of one, but it's still in beta with several features yet to go live, so we'll see.
