Wait... Linus is posting on Twitter instead of Mastodon?

Burn him!

@TimePencil @doomgirl The screenshot looks like a fediverse post (not Mastodon, but some other server—maybe Akkoma?), but his account there hasn’t posted in over a year, and I couldn’t find this post, so I’m not sure exactly where it’s from.
Linus Torvalds (@torvalds@social.kernel.org)

@morgthorak I think you might want to make sure you don’t follow me.Because your “woke communist propaganda” comment makes me think you’re a moron of the first order.I strongly suspect I am one of ...

@stringlapse @TimePencil @doomgirl My server wasn’t loading all his posts/replies, then. I should have gone straight to the source. 🙂

Thanks!

@ramsey

Yeah...
I already follow @torvalds but the most recent post I can see is from mid-March or pi-day.

Same as you, Ben - I can't see *most* of Linus' messages.
🤷‍♂️

@ramsey

Yeah, I really don't know if Linus is on Xitter or not. (It's not even my place to criticise anyone for their choice of social media, let alone someone such as Linus!)

The alt-txt reads "screenshot of a tweet from "Linus Torvalds @torvalds" replying to "@morgthorak".
The tweet reads:" ... etc

Good to see Linus' reply was an iron fist in a velvet glove!

(I wasn't trying to be critical; merely making a joke.)😁

@doomgirl

@TimePencil @doomgirl Oh, yeah. Folks are calling all social media posts “tweets” nowadays. It’s a little weird, but also I kinda hope the guy who owns Xitter really hates to hear it, since he got rid of that brand.
@TimePencil @ramsey @doomgirl It's on the Linux kernel instance, social.kernel.org. I won't pretend like I have a sense of time any more, but I feel like that post of his is ~6 months old, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me it was yesterday or November 2022.
