#Mastodon or #Threads?
#Threads or #Mastodon?
I just know that I I don't want to go back to Twitter. It's become a intoxic hell hole. I'm more miserable when I leave than when I went in. I need to learn to use the news and trending features on Mastodon. Maybe one of the problems with Mastodon is that it has too many options. That's not a bad thing, but for most users, it could be a turn off.
This is basically an ad for TikTok, which I will probably never use, but it's good article to explain how the influence of Twitter has died. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/07/07/twitter-dead-musk-tiktok-public-square/
How Twitter lost its place as the global town square

Twitter is hemorrhaging relevance, and Meta's Threads made an impressive debut, but TikTok is the social media app to beat.

The Washington Post
#Threads is okay if you want to build an huge base for whatever reason, but I'm thinking that #mastodon is the better choice for a personal place. I just need to learn to use it better.
#Russia bombs the crap out of #Ukraine, kills #Ukrainians, and kidnaps their children, but when some Ukrainians go into Russia, they cry foul.
Make it make sense.
"I wish we could just have a normal human being for president," replies Musk when asked by Faber if he regrets voting for Biden.
The level of hypocrisy, the lack of evidence, and stupidity of these #GOP politicians is stunning. I almost feel embarrassed for them. They're so desperate to bring #Biden down and curry a sliver of shallow recognition from their orange master. They think, suspect, hope, and lie. Therefore, it must be true. #idiots idiots #comer #mace #trump
BREAKING: Donald Trump has been found liable for defamation and battery of E. Jean Carroll, a jury found after deliberating for only a few hours on Tuesday. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-found-liable-e-jean-carroll-rape-case-1234732175/

So #Tuckercarlson now has a partnership with #elonmusk on #Twitter. Twitter continues the slippery slope downward.
