Jack Dorsey was the best CEO twitter ever had or will have. for years, he was pestered daily to add a button that would allow op ed writers to see where trolls lived and he’d just go “I am currently at a commune where we’re eating smegma :)” he didn’t fold. Elon isn’t like that

People on social media won't tell you their parents assist them with rent. They won't tell you they have an old man who sends them money monthly in exchange for sex. They won't tell you they started business with inherited money.

In 1930 the Indiana Bell building was rotated 90° Over a month, the 22 million-pound structure was moved 15 inch/hr while 600 employees still worked there. There wasn’t interruption to gas, heat, electricity, water, sewage, or the phone service. No one inside felt it move.

Definitely seeing less humans/people (over brands) on twitter as the humans shift to mastodon or exit entirely. I also keep seeing a chart of "increased engagement" yet the source is a single person that I really wouldn't trust not to fiddle the stats in their favour…

Erik is not wrong - this kind of writing from DHH (alongside the banning of 'politics' at 37signals) greases the white supremacy wheel. @tomstuart spoke truth about this many years ago, and it is still spot-on today: "DHH is the Fox News of Ruby" - tomstu.art/the-dhh-problem

I try not to look at numbers too much because it distracts away from the point of blogging which is to just write. But I have to say, I completely forgot the punch in the stomach, "holy shit" feeling when I see readers from all over the world take a minute to read my post.

... the podcast describes Post as a micropayment play, which requires news publishers to collaborate in a way they never have before. (Of that I'm skeptical.) Marc Andreessen, who blocks me for some reason, is a funder, as well. I am @jayrosen_nyu on Post.News 2/2

Notable that Marc Andreessen backed Elon’s twitter takeover and is now also backing Post, a counter app. Once again, you think you’re given a choice but the rich get richer either path you take

So, not only is PostNews VC funded, but it’s these investors/advisors?🤮 Guess we can’t even have an app where the SAME folks who got us here (as investors, advisers & cheerleaders) aren’t in charge & maintaining the same structural hierarchy? Expect a suggested user list:(😱

Mastodon stampede. "Federation" now apparently means "DDoS yourself." Every time I do a new blog post, within a second I have over a thousand simultaneous hits of that URL on my web server from unique IPs. Load goes over 100, and mariadb stops... https://jwz.org/b/yj6w

Fun fact: sharing this link on Mastodon caused my server to serve 112,772,802 bytes of data, in 430 requests, over the 60 seconds after I posted it (>7 r/s). Not because humans wanted them, but because of the LinkFetchWorker, which kicks off 1-60 seconds after Mastodon indexes a post (and possibly before it's ever seen by a human). Every Mastodon instance fetches and stores their own local copy of my 750kb preview image. (I was inspired by to look by @jwz@mastodon.social's post: https://mastodon.social/@jwz/109411593248255294.)

The real, factual definition of child grooming is forming a relationship with a child and sometimes their family to gain the child’s trust for the purpose of sexually abusing them. It has nothing to do with LGBTQ people or drag and saying it does is harmful to real child victims

The fun thing about posting mean jokes about Elon Musk on Twitter is you know there's a startlingly huge chance he is actually going to read it and it will hurt his feelings.
