I can’t wait to see all the news articles citing the huge spike in #Threads sign ups followed by the drop in traffic as an indication it’s a huge failure. Oh wait, sorry for that - those articles are reserved for free / open software / services: #Mastodon, #Linux, #Wikipedia, #InternetArchive, etc.

He's right, in a sense. All the worst, most evil people are emotionally stupid. The worst part is, they view being emotionally stupid as something to be proud of--and emotional intelligence--as something shameful, in need of eradicating. It's why so many conservatives hate education and liberalism. Keep them dumb, angry, and vengeful. That way, they'll always go against their best interests.

Hello new old followers. Or old new followers?

For the record, it's too complicated for me to keep up with all the accounts I've had to create on so many social networks, I don't have enough time, even with crosspost, so here (as on Insta), my activity is currently cooler than on Twitter. One or two posts a day, and no threads.

Yesterday a catastrophic fire destroyed the building where the Rotterdam Hackerspace @pixelbar was located (among others). Luckily nobody was hurt.
