This article nicely sums up my suspicion about the state of 'Xwitter'…

"Twitter is now a siloed attention roulette machine just like TikTok. That was the plan when Elon took over and they succeeded. There's no going back."

Austerity, Brexit, Covid Lockdown Parties, PPE Scandal, Raw Sewage in UK Waterways & Coastal Areas, Economic Crash, Record Inflation, Record Interest Rates, Cost of Living Crisis, Pensions Decimated, Mortgage Rises, NHS in Crisis, Schools Crumbling, Housing Crisis...

This is the choice. It's really that simple.

There's several reasons why this could happen, as with a recent case in #Liverpool, where the proposed candidate was an anti #Starmer #Corbynista throwback to the #Militant 80s.

The local CLP were at war with each other, & almost fell apart until the PLP stepped in. The fella was a radical #Socialist extremist, who was better suited to #Momentum, the #NIP or #Galloway's Workers Party.

Today's #Labour is a #Social #Democrat party of #Centrist doctrine.

Why? I don't like Joe Biden. The idea that anyone has to convince you to fall in love with Joe Biden is as absurd of a assertion as the cult and , that is about

Imagine two identical #social #networks with mainstream users. Same number of users, same connectedness of the social graph, same demographics etc.

Social network A only has an algorithmic feed. Social network B only has a chronological people-I-follow feed.

What would the usage numbers look like in comparison? Numbers of posts, numbers of likes/replies/boosts, growth trajectory, etc?

I would expect somebody has done some research on this. Anybody know of any public results?

Il faudra bientôt avoir travaillé minimum 8 mois sur une période de 20 mois pour ouvrir des droits aux allocations chômage (contre 6 mois dans les 24 derniers mois). Jusqu'à fin 2019, c'était à peine 4 mois sur 28 mois... Pour les chômeurs de 53 et plus, la période de référence reste à 36 mois mais pour combien de temps?

So this question is part and part story -related and asks you to be very honest, but here goes:

— What do you, personally, think is/are the value(s)/benefit(s) of interacting socially with other humans?

  • Also—if you’re happy to disclose—are you neurodiverse or neurotypical?

for reach appreciated.

Tranquillou, Ambroise Méjean, 20è sur la liste de Valérie Hayer, admet qu'il profite de son chômage (2500 euros par mois) pour faire campagne. "Le choix de ne pas travailler n'est pas pénalisé en France", comme le répètent Macron et ses fidèles. Deux poids, deux mesures. Pour rappel, le papa du candidat est le cousin de l'ancien secrétaire d'Etat Cédric O https://tiktok.com/

Interesting approach. But it's commercial, not decentralized, and is backed by Sam Altman and more Big Tech honchos, so my first reaction is skepticism.

I heard the term "attention farmers" used in context of "haters" trying to spin up with conversations on (usually because those get the most likes/reposts). Love that term.

Time is precious, so little I have of it. Focus on productive things and be a barren wasteland for attention farmers.

Just discovered that most of the people I was following over at Bluesky haven't been active there in months, sometimes many months.

I've got a hunch that Bluesky is not going to be the Twitter successor they hope for. 🤔

There's this platform called Mastodon though… 😉👍

Three days after I've left Bluesky, Jack Dorsey leaves it too. I didn't know I was such an influencer. 😆

I'll be shifting my online presence to my WordPress blog more over the next few months and use Micro.blog less. There's a post explaining why I'm making the pivot in my drafts folder, but basically, it all comes down to having total control.
