"Liechtenstein: We're not Luxembourg!"
@philgyford migrate it here! i mean, i guess the question is: what impact are you hoping to have with the diary?
@amyhoy perhaps, though one of the most vocal Departers is Jelani Cobb: https://journa.host/@Jelaniya/109416808173204523
and the people i'm seeing who stay on Twitter while yelling about how things are going are white people (men and women).

The arguments for remaining on twitter to “fight” remind me of the gambling adage that the house always wins. “Fighting” there is like gambling and thinking you’ll eventually beat the house. But even if you win $10,000 at the slot machine it’s because it’s in the casino’s bigger interests to give you $10,000. A viral post from a progressive helps prop up an increasingly reactionary company. @[email protected]

Mastodon
Mastodon is perfect for GenX because we’re all just roaming from house to house totally unsupervised and unless something goes really wrong nobody cares #GenX
Thanks to The Current Social Media Situation, we're able to witness people's ethical stack rank. I'm a little surprised by how many who believe EM is corrupt/damaging still post to The Bird Place. Literally any activity there benefits him, even if just a little bit.
@mathowie lol i had no idea double-tapping did either of those things on the platforms.
i, a master of fitt's law, tap the button.
@PhilV Episode 4 ("Mabel") rect us in a good way.
Watching the Defunctland about the Disney Channel musical bumper (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_rjBWmc1iQ&t=3104s) , and this man playing his piano made me think of Nigel Tufnel playing "Lick My Love Pump."
