If you are the #mastoadmin of a #Mastodon #instance that is more profitable than "hundreds of millions of loss every year" then congratulations, you have a social media platform that is more successful than Twitter.
@selzero the success of twitter has never been measured by literal profit, though.

Agreed. Twitter was a huge pyramid scheme, that ran for over a decade, taking from later investors to pay previous investors, and in a very unprecedented turn of events, one person at the bottom ended up making the whole pyramid walk away in profit.

I think it is historically one of a kind.

Apparently now it is going to be a bank where you can get a date.

Our CEO this morning told us that space karen is a genius because he'd secretly bought the bird site purely to train his new LLM by getting unfettered access to twitter's feed, thereby making it the most up-to-date and therefore best 'AI' so far, and this, QED, justified *everything*.

Raised eyebrows.
