That gives me a new level of respect for Dorsey.
- bmitc 4y agoWhy?
- janef0421 4y agoBecause he appears to be pragmatic and understands the benefits of open standards.
- bmitc 4y agoBut he was at the helm of Twitter for how long? He had the opportunity to pursue all those things. Musk and Darsey’s text message thread was just two billionaires convincing themselves they’re as smart as they think they are.
- caskstrength 4y ago> Because he appears to be pragmatic and understands the benefits of open standards. But only after becoming rich on closed-standard Twitter while also enacting artificial barriers for third-party clients along the way?
- wardedVibe 4y agoRight? I can't help but wonder if he's planning on doing something in the fediverse in some way. It'd be interesting to see a bunch of ex-twitter folks boot up a crowdfunded mastodon instance.

- wardedVibe 4y agoInteresting. I hope this ends up being a pull request or somesuch on activitypub, rather than a standalone competing standard. They're right that migration is a problem on activitypub atm, though I'm not sure there's a good way to build it into the protocol. Maybe have a server tag a couple of others as trusted backups?

- rapnie 4y agoThis was downvoted but refers to the second part of parent's comment: > a bunch of ex-twitter folks boot up a crowdfunded mastodon instance. Don't know about crowdfunded, but this instance is for ex-twitter employees.
- klyrs 4y agoI get the sense that Dorsey played Musk hard. Musk heard what he wanted to hear, and Dorsey walked away with a cool billion. Musk is wrecking the place and laying the ground for the next thing, which Dorsey was already working on.
