What to do now?
Don’t trust corporations, especially those where one egomaniac has all the power. Use open-source and community driven solutions if you can (like Mastodon).
What to do now?
Just avoid the whole twixttwr thing.
There’s not enough of value there to bother trying to find a benign way of accessing it.
why can’t you just type the word Twitter
I’m poking ridicule about their stupid new name.
If you want to follow Twitter accounts from Mastodon, there’s a bridge called Bird.Makeup that still works and is working on a workaround to this issue.
I’m working on a Mastodon client called Agora that integrates this bridge into the search, so that if you search for “elonmusk@twitter.com” it automatically loads the bridged Mastodon version of the profile: agorasocial.app/#/andrew.masto.host/a/11184456784…
Looks cool. Thank you.
I never really used Twitter, the only reason I still sometimes check it out is because of some artists that mainly post there. Wonder if there is a site where there’s majority of artists and also majority of their newest art too.
A lot of them have moved to Bluesky.
Art station maybe
Art station, Instagram and deviantart are all selling data or doing iffy AI stuff as far as I can tell.
ArtStation in owned by Epic Games.
We will miss you. We won’t let those corporate egomaniacs take over.
Riiight around Reagan is when things accelerated going south…
Twitter should have died years ago, but somehow having Musk still there makes plenty of sense.
nutsack
Exhibit A
So… Like any social media or large message board, then?
That’s a shame, been using the firefox extensions on my phone and pc for months. Looks like I won’t be viewing any tweets anymore unless they’re embedded in some shit-tier ‘XYZ happened and people are furious’ “article”
It’s a terrible day for rain. o7
twiiit.com checks which Nitter instance still work and redirects you accordingly
Nice
Not sure about unsung, but definitely heroes in my book.

I disagree with the second part, publically traded companies are forced by shareholders to lay off workers and sabotage long term plans for short term profits.
The problem isn’t whether one egomaniac majority shareholder capitalist or 1,000 egomaniac shareholder capitalists let their greed do the managing.
The problem is capitalism.

The problem is that we rely to much on proprietary software just because people want money. We’re seriously losing billions of work hours in efficiency loss because our society can’t monetize free software. Now we have to reinvent twitter.
