The difference between elmo and sjobs is that elmo never really failed hard. It took NeXT to make the sjobs that we knew and loved.
Maybe twitter is that opportunity.
But I doubt it.

truths cast shadows of doubt
with each step in the
interstices
shadow blisters bouncing
convergence of understanding
as light bends reality

A great thread. Though why not use the web as your platform? Micro.blog can do the work to help you own your identity & data, and as @EthanZ suggests it will also allow you to crosspost to both Twitter & Mastodon to stay in touch with the people you chose.
Long thread – buckle up. TL:DR; yes, you should join Mastodon. But you should stay on Twitter as well. What we need are more and different online communities, not just an exodus from a troubled platform.

TIL there are people out here that have zero sympathy for workers getting laid off without notice. I honestly didn’t know this was a take anyone had, especially anyone who lived through the financial crisis and Covid shutdowns.

Not that this is new news, but if you want to follow me off Twitter, you have options:
• RSS reader → beesbuzz.biz
• Mastodon → plush.city/@fluffy (social) or indieweb.social/@fluffy (mostly crossposts for folks who can't see plush․city for whatever reason)

Seems like a good week to repost this:
Dear #WordPress folx, If you’re considering leaving Twitter for Mastodon, you should know that you can set your site up like a pseudo-Mastodon instance using @pfefferle‘s excellent plugins: ActivityPub & NodeInfo.
