Your thoughts on Elon musk?

I love 4chan but the fediverse is a bit much for me. It allows a lot of content that isn't allowed on the chans. I suppose it just depends on the groups you join.

I guess I've only seen the worst screenshots from it. You could say a similar thing about discord because the platform is similar.

Well I personally love the fediverse, but I don't think it will replace Twitter. It is too confusing for most people to get their heads around. Plus, the very worst thing about the fedi is not knowing which instance to join, or even what instances exist and have open registration. Most people do not have the skill to create their own node

I wonder if its worth the trouble for us to create a Mastodon server / Fediverse node.

Sounds like early days internet, before the corps took over.  Which I guess is the appeal.

Presumably someone could build a user interface over that lot and make it workable?

@Dipshitone.
4chan has some hardcore porn/hentai.
No wonder you love 4chan.

Twitter Users Have Caused a Mastodon Meltdown The network’s servers are overrun by almost half a million new sign-ups, as Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover has thrust it into the spotlight.

Elon has made Twitter better after all.

And now, thanks to the genius of Elon Musk, twitter finds itself on the verge of declaring bankruptcy.

Well, Twitter under the stewardship of Elon is now in a death spiral

Most people are now back to ignoring his every rambling, and not much of substance has changed.

Well, apart from it losing even more money than ever.

Well, Twitter under the stewardship of Elon is now in a death spiral and unless he can turn it around and make an massive turn around in profit in a few months (without ad revenue) it will be finished

But you got your account back and it only cost him $44 billion (plus the interest payable on the billions he had to borrow). It probably also cost him a fair but in his other enterprises like SpaceX and Tesla and his credibility. But you got your account back online for the short time Twitter will remain operational so yeah, probably a good trade off

I enjoy reading the writings of all the successful billionaire business people on this forum that arm chair how to run a business.

Im actually pretty impressed how resilient Twitter is.

It also helps that most people have a 20 second attention span and forget why they wanted to leave twitter in the first place.
