There’s always a tweet.
Elon Musk

The acid test for any two competing socioeconomic systems is which side needs to build a wall to keep people from escaping? That’s the bad one!

Twitter, the free speech platform, will now not let you talk about other social networks. (To be clear, this is absolutely Twitter’s right to do so, but the whole “absolute free speech unless against the law” stuff was the normal blowhard talk from the CEO)

The puffery, distortion, and exaggerated promises inflated the value of his other companies and helped make him very wealthy. Here, I guess we’ll see.

Hot take 2: “Mastodon is hard” is way overblown. Sign up at a server like MstdnDOTsocial (Twitter blocks the actual link, but use . instead of DOT). Then download an app like Mastoot or even the official app and put in your credentials. Boom. Done. It feels very much like Twitter

And it doesn’t matter what server you’re on. You can follow anyone on any server, and in your app it all appears as just one feed, with the mechanics invisible to you. And in most apps, you can search by user name, without even knowing the person’s server

An exception — a server can block a server. So, a server filled with a bunch of Nazi’s spewing hate speech might get blocked by other servers. But want to see that stuff 😬? Move to a different server that doesn’t block it, and your followers etc move with you automatically

Hot take - Twitter is the place if just follow journalists (although a bunch of them just got booted by the free speech guy). Mastodon is better for engagement — I get WAY more discussion there. Many people seem to use Twitter as a news reader. Mastodon feels like a community

I’m not here on the fowl site much. I’m on Mastodon - for those of you over there, the link is in my profile here. I can’t post the link in this tweet, because the “free speech absolutist” started blocking those links this week (this image is what you get when you try 🤣 ).

I'm watching a YouTube video on how to improve your skiing on ice, and this guy's ice is what we in the Mid-Atlantic call a powder day #ski #skiing #snow
On Mastodon, I now follow 25% the accounts I follow here. Found movetodon.org an interactive tool to follow folks you followed here, much nicer and simpler to use.

Almost has that feeling where I want to stay awake to see what happens.

Hundreds upon hundreds of Twitter employees have technically resigned but still have access to Twitter’s internal systems, with some speculating it is because the employees tasked with managing that access also resigned.
I thought talk of Twitter imploding might be overblown. Now, I'm not so sure. I'm also here: mastodon.social/@40tech And there's always the kinda dormant 40tech.com

Well how about that! An update to LaunchBar. While a new version would be nice, the app seems feature complete, and has gotten updates to support all OS features.

Elon slowly learning there are reasons for the existing content moderation standards is just like watching libertarians try to start their own society

In the last 15 years, there have been 339 players who have had at least 40 plate appearances in a single postseason. Among that group, Bryce Harper's 2022 batting average (.419) and OPS (1.351) rank... 1st and 1st. This is an all-time run. Source: @TruMediaSports

In a sport defined by failure, it often feels impossible for a player to come through when everyone expects him and needs him to. Bryce Harper: epic at-bat, epic home run. A legacy-shaping two weeks. The Phillies are going to the World Series.

Playoff baseball: Your team wins, and when the game's over, you feel like collapsing to the floor or going to the hospital just to make sure everything is still working.
