Ready for when the bird site implodes in 3. 2. 1…

So, this week we learned from the #Bluesky CEO that they are considering targeted ads and more VC investment. But, we are assured, it will only be good targeted ads, and good billionaires pumping in money. 🤔

Feel like we've seen this movie before. Rhymes with enkittenification. 🤷

The billionaire class is trying to buy the election for Trump. Do not let them do so.
Amazingly, I made this several years ago
Comparing and contrasting app privacy policies for Threads, Bluesky, Twitter and Mastodon:
I always envisaged that removing Australia and New Zealand from an internet app would be through rational choice. That weird unit can't even not fuck up properly

Inside Twitter, Musk occupies a 10th-floor conference room with a staging area. There, guests wait for the Twitter CEO — sometimes for more than an hour — before being called in.

Meeting guests are instructed not to speak until Musk does.

Musk went down conspiracy rabbit holes and sank Tesla's stock with his behavior. And he was confronted with a chorus of boos in the cradle of the tech industry.

.@drewharwell and I investigated the incident with the supposed Musk stalker and it appears to have absolutely nothing to do with the jet tracking account.

Musk blamed a Twitter account for an alleged stalker. Police see no link.

The incident last week underscored how Elon Musk’s personal concerns can influence his governance of a social media platform used by hundreds of millions of people.
