I think this whole Elon gate has stretched on a bit too long.

Whenever I read "#Elongate", I think of elongated toilet seats. No, I'm not weird.

#QUISLING is also a possible adjective for #elongate

I think it’s telling that my presence is low enough on Twitter for my name to fly under the radar. #twitter #elongate

@atomicpoet The scandal around those twins is already known as #ElonGate

Pretty funny.

(Seen on Deso, which somehow didn't really get any press or benefit from #Elongate)

All of the freak outs over #Twitter banning third party apps seem to be missing one huge potential cause. #ElonGate has torched so many servers they probably don't have the bandwidth to keep supporting third party connections, and this is another attempt to prolong the inevitable. It's only a matter of time before the #FailWhale arises from his slumber. #FailWhaleWatch

Imagine being the kind of person that creating the largest electric vehicle company in the world, inventing rockets that actually returned to Earth and land standing up and being the richest human ever wasn't quite enough.

I'm happy when I make it out of the door and drive off the first try without forgetting anything.

@jeff@federated.fun @jeff@newsie.social I was running a diaspora* pod for years. It was a nice little corner of the internet to avoid the cesspool. Mastodon gathered all the traction during #elongate so it has more active users. Still though, indexing your instance for searches seems a bit obvious of a thing to do. And if people don't like it they can just turn it off. That would be a win for everybody imo.

#elonmusk problems at twitter called #elongate

I started my move to Mastodon six months before #ElonGate. It was part of my greater project "time well spent online". It started with Facebook and Instagram in 2018. I kept Reddit, where I'm taking care of a community focused around brief, but meaningful encounters for a specific subset of humans.

One of the things that nudged me off #Twitter was the trans hate. How normalized it became, how politicized. This got me thinking of privilege and the depths of the cesspool that is Twitter.

The influence of what Twitter's algorithm/AI decides to show on timelines has been talked about a lot lately. Today I witnessed it firsthand when I made an identical post on Twitter and Mastodon. Check out the fascinating difference in engagement.

Both screenshots were taken at the same time. I have 278 more followers on Twitter than Mastodon, and the Twitter post was made 11 minutes after the Twitter post. The Tweet only had 19 views and no engagement, while the Mastodon post had 33 favorites/likes and 20 boosts/retweets.

On Mastodon, there isn't an algorithm/AI picking the most controversial posts to show on your timeline as "Alice liked this" or "Bob follows this account". If doesn't have a global search across instances, so the only posts that you see are from accounts or hashtags you follow.

This makes content visibility and engagement much more organic. Maximum post length is set by the instance/server administrator and is usually very generous, so you can fit plenty of content and hashtags in one post, instead of making a thread.

Because posts aren't broken up into threads of multiple posts, individual posts can't be taken out of context and abused. This also allows for the inclusion of many hashtags, which are key for discovery because Mastodon doesn't have federated search across instances/servers.

@nicolaslegland I'm not based in US, I was not born in the US, I have never lived in the US. Overturning of Roe v. Wade is still a bigger story, IMVHO.

Point isn't that overturning of Roe v. Wade is the biggest story of the year globally. It's that it's bigger than #Elongate. Plus, calling Elongate the biggest story of the year is already pretty US-centric, and even with such a US-centric lens overturning of Roe v. Wade should be considered a bigger story.

> George Hotz barely lasted one month before announcing his resignation on Twitter

I can see the hiring process.

Musk: hey kid, I'm told you're good with the computers, I have a website that needs some fixes.

Hotz: but I'm a hardware hacker, not a web-developer…

Musk: yes, exactly, good with the computers. here's some pocket money.
