I put myself on the waitlist for Post (from the guy who did Waze): https://post.news/
I have no real expectations it will turn out better than the last 4 or 5 new-exciting-social-media things I've checked out (lol BeReal), but why not.

this is the thing.. you only get people willing to get “extremely hardcore” if you sell them into a vision but musk has offered nothing― Tracer Hand, Friday, November 18, 2022 2:33 PM (thirty-four minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink

musk spent Thursday in meetings across different divisions of Twitter, making personal appeals to the *many* employees attempting to resign.His pitch, paraphrased:“I know how to win. If you want to win, stay and work for me.”w/@RMac18 https://t.co/GsYVtrtrdU— rat king 🐀 (@MikeIsaac) November 18, 2022
people who choose to work at twitter (rather than its peers in the tech industry) don't care about "winning", whatever the fuck that means. they care about getting above market rate comp and some of them care about the particular product/eng problems at twitter and some of them are stuck because of their visa. very few of them care about owning the libs or making billions or whatever "winning" means to elon.

if Elon somehow breaks the logjam of the mainstream payments industry's aversion to pornography he will have accidentally done something good but I don't think he actually will do that

Pushshift is already seeing a larger number of server side errors coming back from Twitter's API. Approximately 25-30% of all API requests are now failing. Generally we see a failure rate well under 1%.

Don't know if this has been posted and it is ukpoly but the point is v good: we need our own twitter.

I watched two of those clips, having never seen more than five seconds of the movie before today, and holy shit, I feel like I suffered organic brain damage. That was one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life. And James Cameron is gonna waste the rest of his productive life making sequels to that shit?
