Mastodawn

X is where you find the people who think they run the Internet.

Bluesky is where you find the people who think they ought to run the Internet.

Mastodon is where you find the people who actually do run the Internet, and kind of wish they didn't.

(WIth apologies to Yes, Minister)

@hedders Actually: NO. The folks that really run then Internet are using Mailing lists, fragments of UUnet and other things.

(says some guy who runs the Internet)

@tanteju5 Oh for sure, but then the joke (and the reference to the 1970s British sitcom) doesn't work

@hedders As a non-brit I don't get the reference to the sitcom. Would love to learn about it.

@tanteju5 Ah, fair. It's a bit of a specific reference. It's this:

YouTube

@tanteju5 ... hence all the jokes about OnlyFans in the replies.

@hedders Ah :) :) :)=) (using the original style instead of this modern charset) ;)

Now I get it, and also about the Sun readers. Yes. Actually the Sun readers determine about who to run the countries, I assume.

@tanteju5 more the Daily Mail these days, but same same.
