I’m still pissed at Elon for two things:

1) making me learn how to spell Mastodon
2) that he didn’t buy and ruin LinkedIn instead

@adamgv @GossiTheDog Still possible. Elmo is working hard on making it more affordable for Dolly.

@GossiTheDog Can't kill that which is already dead, can't ruin that which already sucks

@GossiTheDog Didn't LinkedIn ruin itself already, or was it after Microsoft bought them. It's hard to tell.

@GossiTheDog He could also have bought ticketmaster or facebook.

@GossiTheDog

pulled this gem back from Nov '22.

and..... I still get spell-checked on Mast-o-don, and I still wish things had gone differently...

@GossiTheDog Be honest, he couldn't have made Linkedin any worse, so it would have been a failed venture and he has low standards to upkeep

@GossiTheDog nobody, and I do mean absolutely NOBODY, is gonna have a more bonkers and catastrophic 2024 than that stupid bastard

@alisca @GossiTheDog Russians? (Not the government, the average people.) Ukrainians? Gazans? Israelis?

One rich bigot loses a bit of fantasy football money. Tens to hundreds of thousands of lives are lost to dick-swinging shitheads.

I know which one I think is more catastrophic and bonkers…

@GossiTheDog
LinkedIn was ruined years ago; a leader in enshittification.

@GossiTheDog @jeffsamsonow I just remember that it’s Latin for “boob teeth”.

Athena

@GossiTheDog There isn't really any way to make LinkedIn worse, though

Dirty Hippie

@GossiTheDog And that he didn’t buy and ruin Ticketmaster instead

@GossiTheDog Or perhaps FB - after all, that already had a lot of the conspiracy theorists and Russian disinformation trolls on it...

@Bluedonkey @GossiTheDog I hate that a lot of my IRL social life relies on fucking Facebook to organise stuff. I wish Friendica would gain some reaction like Mastodon has, so I could persuade people onto it.

NotThatDeep

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social to be fair, you can use Mastadon (sic.) without knowing how to spell it, and there's no shame in that xD

Emmet O'Neill

@GossiTheDog To be fair, LinkedIn is conveniently pre-ruined.

Andrew Denner

@GossiTheDog would anyone notice if he did ruin linkedin?

jberg

@GossiTheDog how can you even make linkedin worse?

Abazigal

@GossiTheDog Am I the only one who goes around shouting “mastodon” in my head like the OG black ranger every time? 😛

@GossiTheDog Microsoft doesn't need anymore help, thanks.

@GossiTheDog @dexter ironically, LinkedIn quality of engagement dramatically improved after Elon took over Twitter 😂 sure it has a fundamental flaw of being filled with obnoxious recruiters, strange forms of self promotion, and canned posts from people trying to become “thought leaders”, but ironically it’s actually gotten better. Even “the algorithm” is now better than Twitter ever had (I always used pure TL mode like on Mastodon).

lachezar

@GossiTheDog linkedin is getting ruined even without his presence 😅

@GossiTheDog I'm not sure he "ruined" Twitter so much as "exposed its true core".

I mean I quit Twitter almost a year before Apartheid Manchild took it over for a reason…

@GossiTheDog

LinkedIn was ruined before he had the opportunity.

@GossiTheDog

Just watched the ep of "The Newsroom" in which ACN is being sold to save the parent company, and they float Musk as a possible buyer. "Nah, he has no interest in buying a media company...."

2014, you were so sweet & innocent....

Gold gab ich für Eisen

@GossiTheDog linkedin is a website for online CV publishing, isn't it?

@GossiTheDog Twitter was a flaming shit fight long before Musk bought it.
