Increasingly feels like something very weird is going on behind the campy visible drama of Elon-vs-twitter. Like some sort of larger battle for control of social media or something 🧐
I no longer have the energy or interest to follow the blow-by-blow of this shit these days
Just wish they’d sort it out and we can all make out exit/voice choices and get on with life. Too many damn titanic battles I kinda don’t give a shit about
I’ve had a good time on twitter but I have enough of a life beyond it that if the titans go all scorched earth with each other over it I wouldn’t really care *that* much
I suspect they're complementary, serving different needs. Twitter is more discovery/loose, Discord is more closed/deep. vgr has enough network to make the former less necessary.
The problem with the fediverse are the "pale copy" apps: "We're just like Twitter/Facebook/whatever, but with noone of your friends! And we cost money! And aren't quite as slick!"
