I’ve been increasingly unplugged from SV in the last few years so I don’t quite have a sense of what’s going on
Conversation
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

It’s a nice platform and we’ve had good times, but there was life before twitter and there will be life after

It feels like this is digital Ukraine on the eve of a profoundly stupid corporate war 🤔
I’m eyeing the exits to digital Poland aka discord

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.

Also fediverse doesn’t really work as a twitter substitute for dis overt anyway. Tried it. It’s its own thing that I don’t have as much use for.

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!"

Oh! I see you two really know about this stuff.
What would you suggest to an old man with excess compute and storage in his garage?

What kind of compute? A rack of recent hardware? A 20 year old desktop running windows XP?
😀 Run a post-apocalyptic network hub connected to ham radio?
Why do you have this grade hardware in your garage?
