  • Thought may happen but it will still be an improvement.

    The big problem with Twitter / X is everything ends up being about politics.

    Want to talk about a video game, you can’t because some dipstick mega supporter is going to accuse it of being woke.
    Want to talk about a programming language, nope apparently that is woke too.
    Want to share a funny cat picture, nah, can’t do that apparently a man having a cat is gay and woke.

    It’s exhausting dealing with these idiots.



  • Oh shut up with that.

    You act like there’s some kind of alternative which there isn’t. Mastodon, which I’m sure you were going to mention, absolutely does not count because it’s a nightmare to use and they haven’t bothered to fix any of its problems.

    So there is no viable alternative.

    Also because it’s so awful to use, no one does use it, and so no one’s on the platform. After all, journalists need to go where the viewers are.

    There is zero point being smug about your open source platform, if no one uses your open source platform.

    The company I work for decided one day that we absolutely had to use a script when talking to customers. I don’t, I just ignored them because we didn’t used to have to have a script so why is it suddenly requirement now.

    Every time they hear you not using the script they write you up, which essentially just amounts to them writing down this person is not doing what I want. Signing it and making you sign it as if that’s some kind of contract you’ve entered into and then nothing happens.
