The day before I joined Mastodon -- @the_meghaning

I used to write the same sort of thing on Twitter.

I was lifetime banned from Twitter two days after Elon took over. And NO, no overt comments to justify it otherwise.

You'll notice Wil is not posting this on Twitter, either. I wonder what HIS Twitter status is?

Why "Twitter"? Because I will never cede Elon the ability to corral a letter of the alphabet to describe his business. It will be Twitter until its demise.

@skydog @jeffowski @the_meghaning All tweets and replies deleted, no activity.
@skydog @jeffowski @the_meghaning I'm willing to compromise and call it Xitter. X pronounced as in Portuguese, obviously.
@jeffowski @the_meghaning Had to be said
@kimhoar @jeffowski @the_meghaning are you saying shame on him for having a checkmark?
@kimhoar
Unless I'm mistaken this is from when the checkmark still served a verification purpose, like a year ago or so

For what it's worth, Trent Reznor isn't a cry baby. He cries when he feels sad. We all should.

Elon Musk is the leaky jar from Plato's Gorgias:

“The life of self-contentment and self-indulgence may be represented respectively by two men, who are filling jars with streams of wine, honey, milk,—the jars of the one are sound, and the jars of the other leaky; the first fills his jars, and has no more trouble with them; the second is always filling them, and would suffer extreme misery if he desisted”

In many ways, I pity Elon Musk. His life is a trap; he can't fill his jar faster than it leaks. He isn't even aware of the leak, only feeling the drive to seek constant adulation. It's a tragedy which plays itself out across millions of people, though Musk has the resources to transform a private tragedy into a public one.

@jeffowski @the_meghaning Buying a social media platform and then pretending its about free speech in order to silence those who criticize you and your kind is a sign of a major crybaby .

Read to absolute nuclear, pestilent, festering filth. And well deserved too.
But, man...that is a person I don't want as an enemy.
The pen is truly mightier than the sword.

Are there any greek tragedy authors left? This is Homer material.

@jeffowski
You joining here is a great outcome from that needy idiot's descent into fascism.
So there's that.
@TrickTim -- LoL... I'm dealing with censorship on my instance of some of my posts by admins due to "report monkeys". The main issue I have is that all of it was kicked off for "hate speech" AFTER October 7th. I have posted similar or the exact same memes earlier without issues.
I am an Atheist and rail against all religion. I'm constantly called Islamophobic, Anti-Semitic, and a Satanist because I dare say we shouldn't kill innocent people. Is my tone harsh? Yes. But isn't anyone watching?
@jeffowski
I didn't know about any of that. I am sorry you are being misunderstood. It's a horrible situation with no easy answers.
For my part, I just enjoy seeing your posts when they pop up.
Keep it up, brother.
@jeffowski @the_meghaning imagine thinking you have a handle on the zeitgeist and also thinking you have any chance of winning a beef with Trent Reznor and WW aka the nicest dude on the internet
@jeffowski @the_meghaning
No person should be this wealthy or influential
