Casey NewtonToday Elon changed the birdhouse on Twitter's homepage to a doge meme and everyone has a joke ready but almost no one seems ready to leave. There is simply no amount of punishment that Twitter users are not prepared to absorb
I think everyone is sticking around mainly due to inertia, but I get so agitated by people whose stock in trade is still dunking on Elon on Twitter all day. At the end the day it only serves to prop Twitter up. The joke is absolutely and literally on you
menotti@caseynewton I keep saying this, why sit around and take all the kicks between the legs? To post le epic burns?
One needs to realize it's a weird Stockholm syndrome and break free.
Adam Stein@44 @caseynewton For some people that's it. For a lot of people it's still where things are happening.
I'm trying to improve who I follow but content in things I'm interested is lacking on Mastodon right now. Almost 0 baseball content, no one I follow even mentioned the men's NCAA championship, very little on politics, I do see indictment talk.
Casey is pretty active but Zöe hasn't logged in since February in terms of tech news, but people keep sharing her tweets with me offline.
@adamstein @caseynewton yeah for sure. It's hard to replace whole communities like that. Especially sports.
