@scalzi Sorry, I only got to read about a third of your message because Elon Musk has rate-limited me to 30 characters a day. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I’ll read the rest tomorrow! 🤎

@scalzi <shrug> Has it?

@scalzi a bit

@scalzi oh god what did they do now

@scalzi all quiet over here in mastoland 😅😴

@scalzi early fireworks :D

@scalzi I am so glad I have been setting up accounts on other sites for a while now. As soon as Twitter died, I just hopped over to them. No frantically setting up new accounts in a blind panic for me!

@scalzi how many more rakes are there to step on? They must run out sooner or later

@scalzi I mean, it's #caturday, so it was going to be exciting regardless of any rate-limiting shenanigans!

@scalzi More excitement than I was really ready for.

@scalzi Because of my Heart Transplant status as an 18 year recipient I know my old heart could not have taken this - way too much excitement for one day. I would like to thank Elon and his wealthy friends for spurring on medical innovation in the field of transplantation. Without him, I would have been dead 18 years ago and I would have missed all the fun. Keep Those $$$$ coming Elon ! You are doing a great job. #elonandfriends #elonkillingtwitter #medicalfutures

@scalzi Exciting like watching a car crash. From the back seat.

@scalzi
For a certain definition of 'exciting', sure. 😂

@scalzi Too exciting!

@scalzi didn't notice anything weird :thisIsFine:

@scalzi Haha, yup! 😬
#TwitterMigration

@scalzi car crashes are 'exciting'

@scalzi I missed most of it. Had an excellent diner at a Mongolian BBQ with my wife and friend, so I'm probably better for having missed it.

@scalzi agreed 💯👍

@scalzi I had fun in spite of it all. But it's very confusing for my friend network, and that's hard.

@scalzi who was the main character today, John?

@scalzi who was the main character today, John?

@scalzi t'was!

@scalzi
Have not noticed, did something important happen?

@scalzi
I slept through most of it

@scalzi I really wish it was not.

@scalzi I can't say that I have noticed, but I will admit to hovering near the lower end of the SM user scale. At this point I'm just hoping guys like Musk get tired of losing money while being vilified and their idiocy made clear to the public, and will wander off to pollute some other tech stream with their self-agrandizing styles of financial manipulation.

@scalzi
I made popcorn, want some?

@scalzi Kinda disappointing, actually. I had held out hope that his new CEO would talk sense to Elmo. But nooooooo….

@scalzi - I suspect you are there until it dies a horrible death, but besides mastodon, there is always:

@scalzi Are you not entertained?

@scalzi I this post sums it up https://mastodon.sdf.org/@atoponce@fosstodon.org/109364079783438005
