    Is anyone the least bit shocked at the “rules for thee” behavior from these subhuman pieces of shit? Why are we allowing them to be in charge of anything again?

      Because people won’t leave Xitter. Mastodon was propped up expressly as a replacement, but the bird yet lives.

        I think this is the reason for all word’s problems, not enough people are willing to give up a tiny luxury (in this case addiction) when that’s what we need to move forward.

          Ooh what if Mastodon imitated Threads a little minus the massive budget.

          “Login with Twitter”, but really just copies your @handle over to Mastodon. Autoselects a normie instance for you (bad I know). Asks you to enter email or phone. Login via code (or magic link) each time. Can educate on instances later and try to get you to set a password once you’ve adopted it a bit (or shift you to login via emailed code to save SMS fees). Still expensive, kinda hacky, still no Meta budget.

          Aight probably a pretty bad idea all around heh


          Edit: can copy your Twitter follows too

          Ya it’s too bad.

          Even before that - folks gotta learn about Mastodon, understand its benefits, and then be willing to give up tiny luxuries (convenience of not switching, attraction to following uh pop stars & ppl…). At least we can feel a little better that not everyone staying on Twitter has heard of Mastodon ever before in their lives!

      Inherited wealth centralizes money and power, and egregious hoarding like billionaire level centralized wealth makes people greedy, paranoid, and disconnected from the reality most other people experience.
