@irwin 👍 I’m hoping WordPress will roll this out, too. If I recall correctly, they’d been working on this not long ago. This is *super* interesting, and wow would it be cool if more services followed suit!

@irwin He CAN'T. He tried to buy the thing it was located on, and that cost him $44BIL. But what gave it value (the town square) was the COMMUNITY it created. That community has now fled the space it created. Much of it has been absorbed by Mastodon. Twitter is no more. There's just a rusting hulk falling apart, faster and faster, till the end. @irwin Twitter was owned by a very rich man before Musk. It is run by fabulously wealthy people. Who make many times the average American income, and who live in one of the most expensive areas in America. A public square requires access for all to openly debate a topic. All side should be able to speak. All sides should have a seat. Then people can choose who is right from the strength of the arguments. Wow. This needs to be read by everyone who joined Mastodon in the last week: https://www.hughrundle.net/home-invasion/

@irwin I have recently joined 👋 I really appreciate Mastodon's implementation. It immediately clicked, everything. No quote tweets? Content warnings? Hell yes! I'd even get rid of likes. Twitter/FB is making everyone miserable, not just marginalized groups, as they are designed to maximize attention via outrage. BUT, on this article, I find it off-putting, & calls for gatekeeping are disappointing. Speaking of, such posts & discussions need Content Warnings, IMO. |
