Richard MacManusI've been on holiday with my family over the past week, and so have stayed off most social media during that time. But of course I watched the whole X drama unfold and it made me even more sad than I was before about Twitter's demise. I haven't yet been brave enough to delete my entire a/c, like @andypiper and others have. But Andy's post sure resonates...who else here has deleted their "X" a/c? https://andypiper.co.uk/2023/07/31/goodbye-to-my-life-on-twitter-2007-2023/
bgt lover@ricmac @andypiper something people often forget about this whole thing, it could happen to facebook too. It could happen to tumbler, linkedin, the rest of the facebook owned networks, reddit...in short, everything which is owned by a single entity. And so the enshitification continues, till either the internet is only bearable to most people and we open our browsers with dread, the corporations realise that enough is enough, or the fedi outgrows them. Either way, don't forget to be people.
