@kissane in its current form it’s a slack group, but we started on plastic.com and an associated IRC many, many years ago. We’ve seen marriages, divorces, kids born and grown and off to college, jobs and moves and sadly some losses. Idk if we’re big enough to count as a community but we certainly have longevity @squorch @eaton @Irish

Twitter will absolutely 100% continue to follow this pattern of arbitrary, emotional, and societally impactful content suppression as long as you give them the power to get away with it, even for 24 hours. I don’t know why people have any illusion it’s otherwise.

It’s why I left. It’s why I refuse to give them that power over me, even for a minute.

OK, here's a story. 1/

In three months, Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT will become the largest supplier of new bureaucracy in America.

100% of Fortune 500 companies are upgraded to use LLM-generated text in external, customer-facing workflows and internal workflows.

Afterwards, bureaucratic capability for customer service and claim denial reaches a perfect operational record.

#Meta appears to be working on a messaging platform to rival #Twitter that would use Instagram to log in and interoperable with #Mastodon. https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/startup/meta-mulls-a-twitter-competitor-codenamed-p92-that-will-be-interoperable-with-mastodon-10223961.html

If you are #Korean and are reading this I urgently need to buy 완장 and 부조함 for a funeral on Sunday and I have no idea how to find them in Chicago or to have them shipped here in time. It’s incredibly important, to honor a very notable martial artist who has no Korean family here properly. I am humbled and grateful for any help at all.

A tiny fraction of Twitter users use third-party apps. So put yourself in the shoes of a bean counter…

"We can't serve ads. We can't sell a subscription. The API costs money. If we kill the clients we lose a few users, but some will stick around."

It makes sense on a spreadsheet, but misses the users' value. They produce the content that brings you to Twitter.

Killing clients is exactly what you expect from people who just don't get social networks, and too arrogant to listen to those who do.
