at least with all this bad news, Elon doesn't seem to have posted any childishly dumb memes lately. It's a new year, maybe he's decided to bear down and --- OH NO, GOD NO ...

Interesting. I've been tempted to get one because you can actually get them on a reasonable timeframe. But maybe not....

Kills two birds with one stone for Elon.
More ad money for Twitter, and an increase in the right-wing disinformation he voraciously consumes.

I fear twitter is going to become more or less unusable for woke rubes like myself, sooner than later.

the replacement wars have already started. Eventually the hand to hand combat will yield an alternative. My early money is on Spoutible.
Mastadon's structure is problematic (decentralized content management probably isn't the answer here). PostNews has a super boring interface (also, if memory serves, is owned by someone rather detestible).
Spoutible appears to be the first of the platforms to come out that was designed by ex twitter people specifically to feel like twitter.
Spoutible
Spoutible's goal is to allow users to spout off while mitigating targeted harassment, threats of violence, racism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, rampant misogyny, mis/disinformation, and platform manipulation.

Follow this guy on Twitter to keep up with the project:
He's the guy who coded botsentinel, the website that allowed you to plug a social media account into the website and determine the likelihood that they were a bot, among other useful tools (hate tracker is a neat one)

created accounts at post.news and Mastodon. Mastodon is just way too fucking clunky.
And post seems like a bit of an echo chamber.
spoutible is doing the work, hope it pays off.
