You know how people looked at the dumb decisions of #StocktonRush and said don't get in the #Titan ?
Don't get into an #ElonMusk #Tesla or #SpaceX
I wonder if reddit, twitter and youtube all got around a table one day and decided that no, actually, screw the users entirely.
Because they are all doing really bizzare things.
When I gave twitter a go to try and fill the Apollo shape hole in me I noticed the toxic algorithim and brain dead users so I am glad that I found Lemmy. I am just really confused as to what Elon is doing? He seems to be throwing money away for the fun of it.
He’s obviously playing 6-D chess, and us plebs just can’t see the bigger picture /s
Based on how much Mastodon is struggling right now, I'm guessing they're getting another boost today, too..
I can't think of any reason one would want to stay on the birdsite any longer. What's the use if you can't have full access to people's posts?
Terrible decision from Elon.
LOL I do not miss Twitter a bit.
Putting that 44 billion to work
Phrased like Trump would say
Guess Mastodon is gonna get hit by a wave of newcomers...
Crawlers and scrapper bots consume a fuckload of traffic, that much is true. But I think it's a bit too late, there's already enough "twitter warehouse of posts in X language" to feed most AI needs, at least for coming up with short answers.
Also, I can't believe Elon did something that could be generally seen as a good thing overall (forcing people to spend less time on twitter)
In an interview he said he had to lay all these people off because otherwise the company would have gone bankrupt. But he is the reason it was on the path to bankruptcy. Like a god who saves you from a disaster he caused... In the dumbest way possible.
