Nobody has to be on Twitter. Fuck that.

But my business!

No. What you’re telling me is that you have no risk management plan. That your business plan (or lack thereof) has a single point of failure.

So you don’t have to be on Twitter.

You played Capitalism poorly, and you landed on Chance, and you drew “Go Directly to Elon Jail.”

This is a shitty fucking game. I want it to die in a fire.

But please fucking admit YOUR choices are why you are on Twitter. It’s not beyond your control.

@mstine I’ve been hoping mastodon could fill the void, but I don’t think it does. I’m not seeing a realistic void filler

@pkellner if there’s a void in your life that you NEED present day Twitter to fill, I’m honestly a bit concerned for you.

@mstine I was hoping for a constructive conversation.

@pkellner how is “honest concern” not constructive?

@mstine I took your comment, maybe wrongly, as sarcastic and that you really were not concerned about me. I stayed off of twitter for about a month after the takeover. The specific tech community I'm in stayed there. I have no other realistic way to reach them outside of twitter and it is significantly hurting my business to stay away. I've stopped my complete boycott, but am very unhappy about it. I realize I don't have to contribute to twitter, but for me the cost is too high right now.
