What if everyone is making the wrong assumption about why he bought twitter? I'm convinced he didn't do it to make money. He bought it for the power, to control one of the world's largest microphones. He doesn't care about advertisers who will dictate content rules.
At SpaceX, Tesla, and other companies he hired industry experts. He's running this one completely differently and I believe his focus is politics and power instead of money.
It’s almost as if reddit’s first party app couldn’t even compete with third party apps. I used Boost for Reddit and now I’m waiting for Boost for Lemmy...
I haven’t posted any content to the reddit sub that I mod since the blackout–I’ve been putting all of it on the equivalent community in lemmy.world. I was astonished that apparently only 2 or 3 of the 11,000 subscribers followed me over (0.03%!).
I’ve actually really been enjoying it here. Testing out the various apps, checking out how lemmy and kbin are the same and different…finding interesting communities. The posts have been growing, and there’s something gratifying about watching problems get resolved, and updates get applied.
I check in on the reddit sub occasionally–I haven’t decided what to do yet about my mod position yet–but it’s pretty dead over there for the last couple of weeks (I guess I was doing most of the posting?).
I just read another news article about why mastodon didn’t make it and is dying. It’s very sad to hear and probably explains why I have to keep adding more server capacity to handle all the people quitting mastodon.
