man say what you will about the shortcomings of these platforms but so far every single one of the giant venture capital twitter killers has lasted a fraction of the time and been significantly more jank than mastodon, cohost, or at this point even fucking pillowfort
threads and bluesky are already falling apart! it's been like, a week for threads! I don't know how anyone at this point can still believe in the Tech Thoughtleader narrative, the emperor absolutely has no clothes, these people are dipshits of the highest degree
I will never pass up an opportunity to remind everyone that the goddamn Somethingawful forums started in 1999, have been around longer than any Important Social Media Site and look like they will outlast Facebook and Twitter at least. Efnet? Still running since 1990! Usenet? Still fucking there since 1980.
The Internet and the actual people was there before Bezos, before Zuckerberg, before fucking Apartheid Emerald Man and will be there when they are dead and buried in new public toilet facilities.
