Good to remember #twitpocalypse #mla11 // RT @dancohen: @ryancordell that's why @nowviskie and I are in safe houses on the east coast.
#twitpocalypse
I share everyone's privacy/corporate dystopia concerns about Threads, but honestly the main reason I'm not getting an account there is I can't get the username "bootstheory" and I don't know if I can be bothered using my existing IG handle which I associate much more strongly with random food pics and selfies

AggroChat #440 - The Ubiquitous LARP

@caseynewton The Ars Technica article mentions that third-party clients using the API were always frowned upon but I have no idea how much of that was in official policies.
From the article:
Twitter has long kept third-party clients, which allow users and small teams to customize how they view, track, and engage with tweets, at arm's length. Prior to Musk's ownership, Twitter asked developers not to make them, restricted its API, and took away push notifications and auto-refresh for the clients.

Who's diggin Mastodon?
What an amazing platform and thanks to the instance hosters for saving all the Twitter refugees!!! 👍
About 75% to 80% of my Twitter feed is now marketing/advertising (incl social media marketing people who are invested in Twitter network) or automated posts (from content providers, government, etc).
And another 10% is meta-tweets (about the #Twitpocalypse).
No social #FOMO at this point, for sure. Still some utility, and I still value some of the "weak social links" there. But all easily reproducible (eventually) on #mastodon
The ongoing #Twitter apocalypse (#Twitpocalypse?) strikes a chord, because I recently walked away from a job—which I otherwise liked!—after being transferred to a sociopathic manager who wanted me gone. It just wasn't worth fighting with them, particularly when the ultimate outcome was just enriching a bunch of private equity vampires.
Though I've not liked Twitter much since 2016, I feel for the employees who are feeling forced out (of what seems to have been a fun workplace) by a shit boss.

Very interesting 🤔
Sharing some resources about #postCOVID risk. I have absolutely relied on #MedicalTwitter/#MedTwitter and #ScienceTwitter during this pandemic — which, I reiterate, is not over. Sharing here so I can still find this after the #twitpocalypse (#twitastrophy?). Any suggestions about who to follow here greatly appreciated. Where do I find #MedicalMastodon?

does #elon_musk know how to run a company?

Who thought last month that the Democratic control of Congress would outlast Twitter? #Twitpocalypse #ElonIsNotAGenius
So here's Elon's brave new approach to keeping Twitter alive: Have his other companies buy LOTS of ads to compensate for the companies who are fleeing.

Sorry been so caught up in the #twitpocalypse that I’ve neglected Mstdn. It’s going to take some time to figure out the zeitgeist here and honestly super busy 😐 Did want to share that I made French toast this morning and had 2 eggs with double yolks - is it an omen??? Good or bad 🤔
for a while the $8 check will be fun for fascists who want to own the libs, for trolls who want to use the appearance of trustworthiness as a joke, and for scammers who want to use appearance to steal money.
but pretty soon everyone will realize the check mark means nothing. #twitter #musk #twitpocalypse
Look out, Elon's about to invent Blogspot.
I'm happy that the #Twitpocalypse has pulled several FOSS personalities and orgs into the #Fediverse
THAT NEEDED TO HAPPEN!!
:D
