@svelmoe fedi was not cut any slack even when it was "new". There was never any slack cut for it, and I am going to wager a bet that's because there is no VC money behind it, no hype-generation machine promoting it, and no Silicon Valley techbros pushing it. @rysiek @svelmoe     @rysiek if I had a dollar for every trans person I know who for reasons beyond my understanding wanted a ticket to Dorsey's club, I could buy takeout  @rysiek Personally, I'd consider making a #InviteOnly #Mastodon / #ActivityPub instance... @aran @rysiek Crimethinc recently had an interesting piece on the history of Twitter: https://crimethinc.com/2022/12/09/canary-in-the-coal-mine-twitter-and-the-end-of-social-media - especially the part a bit further in about TXTmob.
@aran @rysiek ah sorry I actually meant to link this one: https://crimethinc.com/2022/10/28/the-billionaire-and-the-anarchists-tracing-twitter-from-its-roots-as-a-protest-tool-to-elon-musks-acquisition
@rysiek nothing pisses me off more than watching a bunch of yuppies congratulate each other  @rysiek it's so funny to see people on here beg for invites to blue sky

@rysiek The good ole 'new is cut more slack' - syndrome.
