Just another way to replace moderately qualified jobs by some opaque tech. I understand why it happens, but this isn't progress. Making good wine requires dedication and experience from everyone involved, that's not what you'

It's rather obvious from the conversation that no one knows what Twitter is going to be... The only thing very clear is that he intends it to be a walled garden of many things way more than the open town square that was hinted at some

Your point works in the exact opposite way too... if users feel their Mastodon server isn't free enough, they can move somewhere else with less "censorship". Not sure what you're ranting about here.
