Here's the kicker.

I bet that 10 years later, Twitter will announce ActivityPub integration.

The pitch will be nostalgia.

Remember your old friend Twitter? And all those funny memes? Now you can pretend that it's 2012 again!

Meanwhile, your kids will ask you, "What's Twitter? Is that like Blaxogmuffin?"

You'll say to your kids, "Exactly like Blaxogmuffinโ€”but mostly with text."

Your kids will ask, "Could you schnorg on Twitter?"

"No, it was a different time ๐Ÿ˜ข" you'll reply, as you wistfully remember that glorious blue birdโ€”before Twitter 3.0 killed its relevancy for good.

@tezoatlipoca Blaxogmuffin is the future.

At least until Zizzerzazzer comes along.

@atomicpoet@mastodon.social To miss the point here for a second: Blaxogmuffing and schnorg sounds surprisingly similar to BlurgleFroosh, which is a real clone of a Hubzilla project that someone made.

@atomicpoet and then you'll tell them there was a time when you'd have to wait nearly a minute while your computer did a weird mating ritual dance involving screeching and hissing at another computer before you could do anything on the internet, and nobody else in the house would be able to call their friends at the same time, and they'll look at you in absolute horror

@atomicpoet after reading the whole thread this sounds prophetic. Also I was thinking: "how a Twitter 3.0 when you can't change the API"
So the innards will be the same Twitter, and they will have a shitty interface.
