The acid test for any two competing socioeconomic systems is which side needs to build a wall to keep people from escaping? That’s the bad one!

Also, I just sponsored Mastodon at the $500/month tier. Gotta keep those servers chugging.

All these “signing off Twitter, see you in the next universe” messages are what Oscar acceptance speeches would be like if they played you off after 5 seconds.

I admit that I was cautiously optimistic when elon took the helm, which was clearly a mistake Is there anything still worth saving here? I assume the sooner we post our (obfuscated) mastadon links the harder it will be for twitter to suspend our accounts in response first

Replying to @DavidSacks
The problem is the way in which the policies were introduced, seeming to retrofit around Elon's views on very specific situations. Basically "central planning as overfitting": radicalxchange.org/media/blo… Good policy should be decided behind veil of ignorance first, applied second
