I wouldn't get too excited. Humans as a whole aren't particularly smart and it only takes a small percentage of bad actors and super dipshits to spread misinformation like a cancer no matter what platform you're on.

Our species wasn't prepared for the internet. We should be adding courses to public education teaching how to separate fact from fiction and how to find and utilize reliable sources, but instead we gleefully elected a party that ran on deconstructing the public education system.

Oops.

I just hope federal services (like applying for a passport) don't become Twitter-only after Trump appoints Elon as Secretary of Enshittification.

Mastodon

Bummer that isn’t mastodon but any inconvenience to musk is appreciated

Why people cannot see that the core problem of twitter is not that it got bought by the asshole billionaire. It's that the asshole billionaire was able to buy it.

It should be Mastodon. This is the same shit with a different name

Let's replace one proprietary service with another. It looks so good with its API wide open, like it's never getting enshittified.

Countdown until it turns out that everybody associated with any competition to Musk's companies just so happens to be a criminal Trump siccs his DOJ after: 5... 4...

X will likely merge with TruthSocial as the defacto Conservative/Right-wing social media site (named something dumb like "XTruthXSocialX"), while BlueSky will become the defacto Liberal social media site.

I suspect it will only because every single furry on YouTube seems to be trying to get the entire fandom to move from Twitter to BlueSky. You know we run the internet.

These kind of articles always remind me whenever a new MMORPG launched, and then people claimed it would be the World of Warcraft killer.

99% of my Feed on Bluesky was just people saying they've left Twitter for Bluesky. No amount of suggest less of this helped.
