What I find more ironic than this bug is is that all of these Mastodon evangelists still have Twitter accounts after their Elon meltdown. So much so that they even use it after Twitter stopped public access.
- ImaCake 3y agoHave you considered that a lot of people use both platforms and don’t really care about the politics of it? Those who do care are very loud (on both platforms) but they might be a minority in practice.
- raincole 3y agoYou're replying to a thread on HN. The thread is a link to a Mastodon post. The post has the following tags: #TwitterDown #MastodonMigration #DDOS #TwitterFail #SelfDDOS This is why context matters.
- rsynnott 3y agoI’ve been off Twitter since naughty ol’ mr car started his war on the journalists (I did return briefly to make a silly joke when he briefly banned mention of the dread term ‘mastodon’). I’ve kept the account, because, well, I’ve had it for over 15 years (back when they had a visible auto-incrementing numeric ID it was six figures), and maybe at some point he’ll lose interest and Twitter will return to semi-competent (it was never great) management. I suspect a lot of people are in the same boat. But also, yes, I use it to observe the latest meltdown; why shouldn’t I?
