It's kind of fascinating to watch this real-time disintegration of social media sites. It's like a visual depiction of a decline into senility.

I mean, yeah, the overall demolition project is intentional, but I'm talking more about the incidental, entropic fallout of that project. I'm assuming that Elon didn't necessarily intend to direct users to a slew of Japanese fishing tweets for absolutely no reason.

Elon more into Japanese fisting tweets

I'm confused about bluesky. I go there and I just see mostly posts from one person. Her posts, here reposts, her comments. I can't tell if she's just THAT much more post crazy than everybody else I follow or if blue sky decided I need to mostly see her content at the expense of everybody else.

not interested in just a music site, the ultimate goal is to not have it be about music. Id just use that to build an initially community and get discussion going. But as people were enjoying it they'd talk about other topics and invite their friends and then I'd put facebook out of business.

I would like the ability to reshare posts while adding my own commentary to them.

My social media idea was Bucket List - you just join, share all the things you want to do before keeling over and people encourage each other and share photos of checking things off and whatever. This would undoubtedly last a week before Nazis ruined it.
