I guess the notion of decentralized #SocialMedia and its virtues is poorly understood or not relevant in #journalism’s movement towards #Threads

Could be that most journalists view #Zuckerburg as a stable if not entirely trustworthy “partner” when compared to #ElonMusk?

I imagine the attraction of an audience reputed to be +100 million has its attractions when compared to #Mastodon’s 2 million.

#Twitter #X

Stolen from #BlueSky...

Did this stupid motherfucker seriously just claim he can beat anyone, regardless of strength or skill, in a fight, because he's FATTER?!?!

Crossing my fingers they'll actually do it and not just talk about it: billionaire deathmatch really should've beenbmade a sport a long time ago...

#Elon #ElonMusk #MarkZuckerburg #Zuckerburg

Der #ADFC ist scheinbar die einzige Organisation mit Bezug zur #Verkehrswende und #MehrPlatzFürsRad, die übergreifend bei #Mastodon tätig ist und auch darauf hinweist. Find ich gut👍
Der Rest kann nur #Musk oder #Zuckerburg. Muss ich nicht gut finden und find ich auch nicht gut👎

I find it really telling that, when you look at the #Twitter timelines of these #SocialMedia moguls' (basically #Elon and #Zuckerburg), it's always non-stop rambling about their sites, whatever other stupid thing they're doing with their money now (what they call '''#Entrepreneurship'''), right up to the open fantasies about world domination, but if you go look at @Gargron's #Mastodon profile, it's just like, interesting pictures and tech articles, most of which are boosts of other people, you know, like a NORMAL PERSON.

It's like these #Billionaires just want to flood our lives with garbage, then gloat about how amazing they are for basically putting humanity in a cage so it can dance for their amusement, but Eugen Rochko just wanted to experience social media without the bullshit.

(I also find it telling that #EugenRochko and #Rochko are barely used hashtags compared to #ElonMusk and #MarkZuckerburg: they are very loud morons.)

Legends say #JohnMastodon was once a citizen of the Kingdom of Twitter. But decided to head out into the frontier to establish his own kingdom, The #Mastodonian #Federation or the #Fediverse.

Since then, three tyrants have been vying for power: King Musk of the #Twitter Kingdom, Emperor Marc von #Zuckerburg III of the #Threads Empire and Earl #JackDorsey of the #BlueSky Estate.

Wait this isn't the onion?? #elonmusk #twitter #zuckerburg

Waitaminute...

Is the only way to use #Threads downloading an app, which multiple people have said is basically #SpyWare, on your phone?

Yeah, pass. Gimme my safe sandbox and let me see what it is first.

Not even seeing how people were saying this was going to integrate with #ActivityPub, especially since #Meta / #Zuckerburg keep referring to it as a "#Slack Clone"...

@HamonWry #Zuckerburg is directly responsible for the #EthnicCleansing in #Myanmar, whereas #Elon88Musk is propped up by #UncleSam costing the US money.

(Dramatization)

Dearest xxxx,

It is now day three since leaving Blue Bird country. Yesterday, I heard that King #Musk issued a new decree demanding tributes from #TweetDeck city residents. Some are deliberating whether or not to stay or move another kingdom. One of my fellow #mastodonian neighbors told me about another newly found kingdom. I believe it is called the #Threads Empire, headed by Marc von #Zuckerburg III. These are strange times.

Love,

xxxxx

#zuckerburg : "Come to the METAVERSE!"

>Why? For what?

#zuckerburg : "Shit, we didn't think that far ahead!"

How does this even happen? Did he just expect everyone to start making their own fun? It isn't Legos. Legos are fun. Add Legos.

I'm seeing a lot of talk about #Twitter and #Meta as if they are at all indicative of the rest of the industry...

They are not not. Companies managed by incompetent people are having problems due to mismanagement. The rest of the industry, where people have been making responsible decisions and not torching assets on unrelated scams and the egos of CEOs, is doing fine. That's just natural capitalism.

Remember that #Zuckerburg and #ElonMusk are idiots who we've been repeatedly lied to about being smart, and it puts everything in perspective.

However, if we are concerned that this problem is more systemic, remember that this us just #Market #Capitalism in action, and there are plenty of proposals on the table which have been proven to mitigate its natural tendency to just go crazy.

Bye bye Facebook. Rest in peace, actually, I hope you burn to the ground 🥰 #fyp #tiktokban #facebook #censorship #zuckerburg

Metaverse off to ominous start after VR headset sales shrank in 2022

So the YouTube algorithm is aggressively pushing paid services by piling on unskippable pre-rolls between me and my content. What Zuckerface fails to compute is the patience, tenacity and sheer spite of a generation that grew up waiting for questionable videos to buffer on dial-up internet. #youtube #zuckerburg

From #elsewhere into #FediverseQuestion did I get this correct way:
- feed is mostly what's new and what's boosted the most from what you're following
- like #elsewhere becomes boost
- I REALLY READ THAT #elsewhere is ... I'm just using likes as bookmarks for stuff I Iike so I remember to read them slowly

Also #zuckerburg #birdsitebyebye because tags are actually useful for once #TwitterRefugee #birdsitebirdreich

Remember the fanfare in December when 48 states filed an #antitrust suit against #Facebook?

Well it was thrown out *with prejudice* for supposedly not "quantifing" the #monopoly, the #statueOfLimitations had passed since 2013 #DenialOfAccess conduct re #Vine, #mergers were approved by the #FTC, no competitors to Fb were mentioned in the complaint.

A trove of documents uncovered in 2018 apparently reveal seedy dealings between #Zuckerburg and Vine, to undermine Vine's algorithm.

The judge…1/2
