    This thread and the links in it, should be available in a thread roller / unroller site ( like #threadrollerapp for #Twitter ).

    I'm posting this so I can find it if and when $VAPORWARE_SOCNET_PROJECT becomes something real.

      The paradox of Mastodon is no one (not even mastodon.social) likes mastodon.social dominating the network, or Eugen G being the sole arbiter of extensions to the common protocol, but on the other hand, ultimately, the reason we all use Mastodon (IE, the part of the Fediverse people think of as "Mastodon", modeled on the Mastodon extensions to ActivityPub) instead of Secure Scuttlebutt or identi.ca or whatever is because Mastodon was the AP implementation that had one person's singular vision.

    Finding myself urging people on #Twitter to keep their accounts there, if only for disaster and emergency communication, for art, for all the good info they only got via this platform (public journalism, scientific papers, etc.). Critics of Twitter, esp. those aligned with open blabla, the Fediverse and their distaste of Big Social usually ignore the immense benefits this platform has provided, irresepctive of the ugly and violent aspects.

    1. Elon Musk Might've Inadvertently Sparked a Senate Investigation Into Twitter
      Elon Musk's snarky response to a U.S Senator who wanted answers on Twitter Blue's new verification process might just land him in front of Congress to testify ... because the lawmaker sits on some key subcommittees.

    Unanswered: will his lenders go after him for fraud if he files BK? By him making #Twitter fail so badly so quickly, I think they should be able to prove it in civil court.

    Also, I wonder whether they made him put up Tesla and / or SpaceX ownership as collateral. If they only relied on Twitter assets, they'll be lucky to get 50% (and I'd guess 20% is more likely, as most of the company's value was as "a going concern").

    I'm not sure this is the right way to proceed.

    #Twitter is part of the U.S. disaster and emergency communications infrastructure. As
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/11/19/twitter-emergencies/ points out, about 1 in 5 U.S. Americans use Twitter. So it's here where people get their info, or from platforms that pass through announcements that originated on Twitter.

    Also, as the article points out, :

    « [O]fficials expressed confidence in their ability to spread messages and warnings without Twitter, using tried-and-true methods like email distribution lists and wireless alert systems [...]

    “We’ve been sharing messages for a long time, long before Twitter came into existence,” said Karina Shagren, the communications director for the Washington Military Department in Tacoma [...] “We’ve always been modifying strategies, and we’ll do it again if we need to.” »

    The main problem is not that Musk purportedly undermines Twitter's part in the disaster and emergency communications #infrastructure but that in the U.S. critical infrastructure is run by private companies. (Cf. the winter blackouts in Texas of 2021.)

    Thus on the one hand it's a deeper seated structural problem (i.e., capitalism), on the other hand it's not something that is peculiar to Musk's handling of Twitter. In fact, given Twitter's share in the infrastructure, it may serve to Musk as further incentive to keep Twitter running decently.

    I think it was December of 2007 when I joined #Twitter. I liked it so much that I joined a bunch of similar services, such as #Jaiku, #Pownce, and #Plurk. In 2009, someone on Twitter told me that as an open source person, I should try an open source Twitter clone, #Identi.ca. I did, and thirteen years later, I'm still active here.

      Please boost this. If you deactivate/delete your Tw*tter account, your @ handle will be publicly available in 30 days. The chances that you will be impersonated with no recourse is very high! Don’t do it - especially if you had a fairly popular account. To wipe things, deactivate your account, then go to bird site /login and reactivate it. All of your followers will be gone. Now lock the account and let it rot. @semiphemeral is a great tool for wiping data, including DMs. #twittermigration

    @simsa04 One thing that stood out to me as a former business major is that ... once #Musk followed up his presumably drunk purchase offer with a serious purchase offer, #Twitter management was legally obligated to sell the company and to pursue any and all legal remedies to cause that to be accomplished. They could sell it to him or they could find someone offering a higher price, but they had to sell the company.

    If Elon Musk wasn't so sure of his own superiority, he could have said "I was drunk / stoned and not thinking clearly, so the offer I made is rescinded", but instead he followed through (probably because he secretly bought 9% of the company before any of this happened, so making that sort of offer and not carrying it out could have subjected him to civil and criminal penalties).

    It really is sad that they had to do so regardless of their belief that he was overpaying and that he would not be able to make the payments on his loans, but present US securities laws require this.

      If the #Twitter saga teaches us anything, it is that "going public" with stock is not always the best choice. A person or group with lots of money can come along and take over, ejecting the prior leaders and employees and changing the company's purpose and direction. They can wreck everything you built. Sometimes, being a !smallbiz can hide you from corporate predators.

    @clacke I assume that the company has a tradition of allowing employees to speak freely. I certainly would not use $EMPLOYER's #MSTeams system to criticize upper management. I have plenty to say about them, but I don't say it in *their own forum* or in a way that that can be trivially linked to a specific employee.
    Maybe #Twitter's employees never knew how good they had it until it all changed. Now that they have the ultimate pointy haired boss, they are subjected to the kind of things that restaurant / retail / warehouse workers had all along.

    No, the whole 'verse would be the federation. Mastodon would just be the humans who for some reason have an unequal pull in how the federation works


    ♲ @shaun@autistic.blog: if #Mastodon and #Twitter were characters in #StarTrek who would they represent? It's unlikely we can pin them to single characters but in terms of organisations it's probably The Federation and the Dominion.
