How can I continue bitching about #Twitter when you have such charming people here on #Mastodon?
The rules are pretty clear, though.

No plans to use it, but the new #birdsite is very funny (like anything that annoys certain people):

"Seven weeks on X's For You feed shifted political views 4.7 percentage points towards the Republican party"
For those of you still there, your presence on #Twitter isn't helping.

The political effects of X’s feed algorithm - Nature
Among users initially on a chronological feed, 7 weeks of exposure to X’s algorithmic feed in 2023 shifted political attitudes and account-following behaviour in a more conservative direction compared with those remaining on a chronological feed, whereas switching the feed setting in the opposite direction, from algorithmic to chronological, had no effect.

Meanwhile, DojaCat goin' off on Elon on his own stupid social network.

Writers, by all means use #Substack. But PLEASE don't rely on it! (Or #Instagram, #Twitter, #Facebook, etc. etc.…

Substack writers, you need a website!
Substack is convenient, but treat it as a distribution tool for your content. Your content should live on an independently owned website, which has a domain name you control and own. This way, you …

It's incredible anyone is not embarrassed to use this horrible site. #twitter #ElonMusk

#gpt-5.6 schreibt #twitter bio Zeilen als gäbs kein Morgen.
„entwickelt Algebra“
Das ist furchtbar. Es ist gleichzeitig so idiotisch, dass man es einfach nicht ernst nehmen kann und im nächsten Moment zeigt es dir, wie das Problem an dem du seit 10 Jahren knobelst gelöst wird.

James O'Brien is on the radio asking if the government ought to leave Twitter.
He seems to have finally understood that there is no level playing field there, that the algorithm can't be used for good. That if it started to do good, the owners would just change it.
He left when he understood that the place is overrun with trolls and moderated only to keep the woke in check.
James blocked me ages ago, and I'd not ring in, but the key thing he's missing is this:
Elon musk has his own shitposting troll site that he owns.
Trump has his own shtposting troll site that he owns.
Mark Zuckerberg has his own shitposting troll site that he owns. He's got like four.
The blockchain people have their own shitposting troll site that they own (that's the one O'Brian uses).
If the government wants to use a shitposting troll site, they should also use one that they own.
Likewise LBC radio presenters really. If they want to use a shitposting troll site, they should probably use one that they own and moderate themselves.
And then, consensually, with no obligation, if they want, each of the shitposting troll sites can federate together with the others in a mesh, so that they can talk to each other and the conversation can flow between them but ownership and control is distributed to individual organisations.
Then we could decentralize ownership of the means of communication and avoid this argument about whether the government should be on twitter so we can instead argue whether UK Social should block or federate with Musk's Nazi Troll site or not.
And this system exists of course. LBC could have their own shitposting troll site by the end of next week and moderate it as they see fit.
