This has been making the rounds thanks to one of the news teams, from the Twitter internal Slack. They're also reportedly running a dev build in production, and the SSL cert expires in a month: Even odds they fired all the people who know how to replace it.

They also didn't do any math. Even if they did do that before 2024, that would only exclude people who turned 18 this year. Everyone else that voted against them would still be 21 and older in 2024.

Honestly, the hardest part of Mastodon is getting set up in the first place. All the instances can make it confusing for people used to a single site(and whitelist-only instances don't help). it has the advantage though that no one can buy it out or kill it in the same way. People wihtout a...

Majority of people I'm following are either in denial, or moving to somewhere in Mastodon. A handful are going to cohost, tumblr, instagram, or advertising their Discord or Telegram. And it's only been -2 weeks-.

Banks are already trying to bail on it. And yeah, all the major infosec folks I follow because they know their jive were already out of there at the start of the week, and the Infosec instance I'm on specifically for that stuff blew up so fast the owner had to update limit settings multiple...

I was thinking of suggesting the same in my last post... the dumpster fire of $8chan would probably be better in its own thread at this point for everyone to 🍿over.

I've got plenty of other things to play first so I'll just wait it out like I did with SwSh probably. Don't know if I'll wait as long, depends on how it all looks and getting through everything else I've got lined up ahead of it.

Boo, the forum software doesn't support embedding Mastodon posts it looks like. To summarize what I was going to include, the new blue check went live and besides what was already shown above by Novasaber it's currently going about like you'd expect. Also: (and this one is a "real" check -...

Well Musk ain't getting those advertisers back - he had a long call with 120k folk yesterday, and all that came out was word vomit essentially. This thread on the call is a real trip: Oh, and he actually loses money on the checkmarks if he is cutting the ads in half, so each checkmark he...

Actually got this one right before Halloween. Since I've been getting regular art of Speaks, I'd been wanting to get a good reference sheet for a while for her. Screenshots are great for getting any angle for reference, but they're horrible for lighting and colors. It took a while to find an...

I'd actually be curious to see it in Transmetal colors.

I'd suggest for most here that once you've voted, check out for the rest of the day. Don't bother watching the news, don't check pollwatchers every 5 minutes(maybe once or twice tonight after polls close?). No matter who comes out ahead, the news media is gonna be milking anything they can...

So every little thing that can go wrong is deliberately billionaire's fauilt? They would intentionally not pay for internet upgrades for years and pocket the cash because they want to cause suffering, and not because it just happens to make them richer? Bezos works his people to death because...

A) It makes them just like those action movie stars! They're the hero! Everyone else is dumb NPCs who can't see the truth like them because they're so special and smart! I mean TV doesn't lie, right? B) The thought that the other adults in the room can't control everything scares the...

Geee, this is my surprised face. https://thehill.com/policy/technology/3723094-twitter-removes-misinformation-policies/

It also potentially got -really- dark if one theory I've seen brought up pans out:

I go with the seasons now, since I actually have one for every season except winter, and I'm getting one for that here soon.

The idea(or fear, really) is that the Good Guys aren't always in control. Say you heavily restrict speech, in ways most people consider good, and things are going fine - but then actual Nazis take control of the government and immediately use their control to literally reverse what is allowed...

I feel ya and can understand that... it does take actual work to make it usable and keep it usable without getting flooded with garbage. Work that not everyone can, wants to, or even should have to do. (That's also why I specifically said they made it work despite itself. ) Honestly, I'd...
