Sadly the twitter exodus seems to be coming to an end. From the peak of 1,333 users per day we are now back down to 322. Before the exodus we were seeing about 100 to 200 new users a day.
@freemo I'm thinking there will be more drama on Twitter in the days to come under the new management. We are likely to see more spikes then. Some people will never move though.
@gpowerf Most likely true. As long as Elon keeps making mistakes we will keep seeing spikes. Maybe he got some senses though and might shut the hell up.
@freemo it is that easy. He simply needs to stay quiet.
@nullifidian @freemo human beings are amazing creatures. He can create a business that makes spaceships that land like science fiction crafts yet can't resist the urge to keep quiet and instead chooses to shoot his own foot multiple times.
The aliens must be fascinated by us ;)
The downfall reminds me of i think it was Gerald Ratner who IIRC said his products were rubbish, he went bust not long after.
That was it, well musk is heading the same way, and maybe anyone still on there. I am on Twitter at the moment asking if some of the local groups e.g LearnDevon are planning on joining.
If Musk kicks me off, what the hell go out with a BANG I say.
Is there any word of twitter banning people who are promoting the fediverse? Errr I mean masterbatedone ?
@freemo @zleap @nullifidian I've not seen that happening. All I've seen are people commenting on two camps:
1) WOW! Mastodon and the Fediverse are great! I have a new home.
2) Mastodon is so complicated you'd need a PhD in nuclear physics to even understand 10% of how to get started with it! (exaggerated for comedic effect)
Yeah, good point, surely things like this can happen with any acronym or abbreviation
