Twitter is just software. Written by a company hostile to their own users, who could ban nazi's in a snap, but don't. I'm here because most are. Let's change - On the Internet, you can be in two places at once. The least that could happen is Twitter improves. #DepreciateTwitter

@virtualwolf I always liked Internode. I liked them so much I went to work for them. But they are just TPG dancing around in their corpse now and I want to avoid the parent company and all subsidiaries now.

forcibly ejected from the animal crossing fan club because, and i quote, “by this point we’re all well aware that animal crossing is a gamified abstraction of the spectacle and we’re well aware that it’s merely a distraction from the daily alienation of capitalism, but you never talk about anything else and frankly you’re depressing everyone”

A nice writeup of the strangeness going on with Mastodon and Gab that was very informative, at least for me. It's disheartening, to say the least, that this schism is happening. https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2019/7/12/20691957/mastodon-decentralized-social-network-gab-migration-fediverse-app-blocking
