Twitter is so unfathomably back (note: This is from BlueSky, which is twitter but pretending not to be)
(hexbear.net)
There's an uncomfortable comfort in shitposting through the coolzone again after all these years. And yeah, I do kinda want to see some kid micro-ing a few hundred drones through an air-defense network.
Repeating and building on my most libbed up opinion: Jack Dorsey was the most benevolent CEO of a platform like Twitter that we can expect under capitalism. It's also incredibly fucking hilarious that he managed to get out of Twitter while retaining the right to create a Twitter 2.0 literal clone of Twitter.
If one day Twitter is a wasteland of tumbleweeds and Bluesky reaches Twitter levels of value. Maybe that will be the event that triggers my predicted Elon's full spiral and inevitable death at his own hands.
Throwing that in the MonkeyPaw-Wish-Caster-9000X (now with 75% more monkey paw!)
He should die historic
Choking on hard vacuum or incinerated in rocket fuel are good options
Honestly I hope he goes out the same way Jobs did, with a totally curable cancer that he tries to juice his way through rather than take medicine for. That's the most fitting end for all these tech "geniuses" because it's hilarious to bring up every time someone starts talking about how smart they were
Still love how he tried to ankle his way up onto the organ transplant list only to be told "You can't cure cancer with organ transplants"
God, I wish I could have seen his face at that moment
Cue Curb Your Enthusiasm theme song
Jack left Bluesky's board because it wasn't racist enough and went back to twitter which is pretty fitting for the guy who invented a website as awful as twitter
After bluesky jack started funding nostr which is a protocol for social media (like activitypub) but designed to resist censorship as a primary goal (and marketing focus). I really like the tech behind it, but by sheer coincidence the user population is mostly Bitcoin fanatics and antivaxxers.
