well, that's done yet again. I hope I won't be weak and go back to that hell hole again. #Twitter #muskville

‪@BruceC01‬
I noticed your comment in your profile re Mastodon. I feel the same way but cannot bring myself to go back to #muskville and haven’t found what looks like a viable alternative. Feedback re #BlueSky is very mixed but more negative in my feed than positive.

Meanwhile, in the race for #socialmedia evil-doing & disruption, after the undisputed "do evil" leader #GooglePlus ripped lives apart, & #Musk rushed in to spread #TrumpVirus & replace the known world of #Twitter in favor of a rant-driven #Muskville...

Why Would Anyone Pay for Facebook?

The King of Evil - #Zuckerberg & his #Meta #egomaniacal lies & data-scraping obsession - is poised to do among the biggest evils yet... Why do people *emulate* the worst ideas ?!!

#DumpsterFire in #Muskville

Key word in describing the current state of #twitter as it leaks #GQP lie juice while Lord #MuskVirus fires his penultimate engineer - for telling him #truth.

Spoiler (?) - Blue/gold/#TrumpVirus bird seems to be heading into a tailspin not seen since... that balloon!

When you tear things up by the roots, generally they don't thrive.
If you demand people love you, and you're a billionaire, #socialmedia is the place to be, er, own....

For #media / #socialmedia / #communications followers -

Here's something I came across, its title promising enlightenment about "how, exactly social media platforms fail".

I thought for sure this would be about the assault on #Twitter users and advertisers by Lord #Muskvirus.

But silly me, Twitter is so old-school! Now the next designated has-been (&/or one to beat) isn't #Muskville, but .. #TikTok

Their title:
"The ‘Enshittification’ of TikTok"

"Interesting"

On the day yet another oligarch learned how dangerous windows and tea can be (if not kissing the tsar's ring sufficiently)

Tough times for fascist billionaires? Or just the rest of us?

Seen in #Muskville ... amid the noise and whooshes out the door.

A nice idea, really, for some serious social research.

Or for "Candid Camera'.
Or #karma

he #GQP / #TrumpVirus cult of alternative reality.

"Just a thought"

#truth #accountability #justice #MakeAmericaSaneAgain

oop, screenshot covered the word "promoting" other platforms, now verboten in #Muskville, home of his version of "free speech absolutism". Watching these back-pedal and vagueness spinning about like #TrumpVirus and all his best words.

Talk about fascist repression of non-official reality, suppression of #freespeech and promotion of fascism! Way to destroy a once-civilized and #truth promoting town square.

Unable to post screenshot :(

#Twitter aka #Muskville sperrt die Accounts unliebsamer Journalistinnen und Journalisten mitsamt dem Account von Mastodon und warnt jetzt vor Links zu #Mastodon. Was für eine Irreführung.
Diese Warnung ignorieren und fortfahren!

Meanwhile in land of #MuskVirus, Elon has shared his bedside view. (No, not him or it would need to be marked sensitive). Just his... something.

Wonder why he's so oriented towards early US history, when clearly he's more comfortable with Apartheid era S. African ethos, "a lot of people say".

He does seem to share the #TrumpVirus taste for Coke & fascism. It's the reaction which caught my eye... (yes, a "quote tweet" - good & easy stuff)

Back in #Muskville.
#MuskVirus ?

Watching the many news reports of people anticipating an imminent demise (this weekend).

Thoughtful observers are divided about the prospect, some departed engineers saying the last disruption-avoidance staff are gone, along with most other departments. Just "hard core" (and or trapped-by-immigration-status) Muskians manning the HQ. Some say it's on "autopilot" and will endure as long as nobody tries to initiate some changes or new add-ons. Elon: But whaaat?

LOLOL. Real *Experienced Business Man* energy here. #TwitterDemise #Muskville

Probably my single biggest daily increase in followers on Mastodon. Who else came over from #MySpaceX? #Muskville #Twitter

Getting busy on Mastodon.social tonight! Guess people are joining up en masse and jumping ship from #Muskville. #Twitter
