    it’s probably not the best place to say this, but it’s a shame. Twitter had real use and this bastard used his reverse midas touch on it to the detriment of all of us who aren’t nazis. Well I hope his sheik boss lets him suck him off now as a reward

      Well, my main issue with Twitter is that it is used for official communications, and sometimes is the only medium that is used. To me, official communications should go through platforms that aren’t owned by a private company. This is where Mastodon/Firefish would be great alternatives, since governments or institutions could set up their own servers, while still being part of a wider network.

        Hey absolutely, it’s insane having oligarchs control our infrastructure. But even nationalisation is a better option than having these morons.

        See Heise for example, they have their own instance for their news posts. It’s great.

        Yeah, I found it crazy that Twitter was used for official communications (especially from governments) when it started, and still find it crazy now
