  • I just see as a sign it’s never gonna work. Not under Elon, not X. He’s a megalomaniac idiot…

    And I don’t see how it’s “unethical” either. It’s annoying, rude, stupid, ridiculous, shitty, sure. But unethical? They didn’t promise anything, they even gave some compensation even though they didn’t need to, right? Ethics isn’t even objective so I just don’t think that’s remotely meaningful, what ethical boundary are they overstepping? “To forcibly change someone’s social media handle is unethical”?

    IDK, just don’t use Twitter!! I guess I just don’t see this as a big issue because I think Twitter is dumb, I suppose if you use the app a lot… IDK.







  • Well, that’s all great. But the big problem with these kinds of platforms is always that hosting all this data (especially videos) is extremely expensive. It’s not necessarily impossible that donations+ads+subs can cover all the infrastructure costs, but generally there’s a need for some sort of big capital backing. Open Source is not something that gets that sort of private investment.

    But hey maybe. I’d absolutely love that.

    The model is pretty successful anyway, some people here have mentioned Pixiv and Nebula.
