@pablonegri Well, that should keep him occupied and out of everyone’s hair while he burns through the rest of his fortune

@keir I’m using 3 iOS apps and none of them appear to support either following or pinning hashtags. Nor can I find a way to create Twitter-like lists. Seems like a big missing feature, possibly enough to push me to move off Mastodon to some other fediverse or non-fediverse app
@aallan Wait - are people pretending that musk’s “Twitter poll” means something? Far as I can tell, it’s just an html widget, not something with a methodology and statistical significance. It’s just a widget that says whatever Musk wants it to. Thinking it justifies policy change by attaching a misquote in Latin is just pretentious stupidity, but pretentious stupidity is Musk’s special little power
Alasdair AllanMusk has used "Vox populi, Vox Dei" to justify reinstating Trump on #Twiiter. But the quote is from a letter from Alcuin to the Emporer Charlemagne urging him to resist such ideas, "Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit." Which translates as "And do not listen to those who keep saying, 'The voice of the people is the voice of God', because the tumult of the crowd is always close to madness."
@PhilippBayer Whatever it is, it can probably kill you
Dan GillmorIf you're planning to leave Twitter because a sociopath CEO makes you sick to your stomach and is wrecking the place, please think twice before heading to another centralized service where you risk the same problem at some point.
Decentralized is the best way forward.
@mpesce @seanmcbeth Been doing some thinking around identity, data, and ownership. This seems to be emerging as a concern on Mastodon, as it would for any decentralized social platform. Seems blockchain is the natural answer: easy federation of identity, allow for ownership/sharing, possibly allow users to self-monetize their marketing data, etc.
@slickrockweb One thing I’ve learned these last few years - it’s always worse than the worst we can imagine
@seanmcbeth @mpesce I second the preference for aging. I think the natural inclination is to use distance, but I think we’ll have to use distance sparingly.
@mpesce @seanmcbeth Got it - so you envision something beyond just an AR interface to something that’s a new kind of social experience.
Coincidentally, I’ve been working on something along those lines. If you’re interested, we can speak directly
