I am just sitting here slack-jawed at the latest news coming out from Elon Musk’s Twitter, where employees are being forced to sign a “pledge” by the end of the day tomorrow, or else they be let go with 3 months’ severance. This is rapidly becoming a cult.

I think we here on Mastodon should start up a betting pool as to the exact date when Elon Musk actually kills Twitter. I honestly can’t see how the company survives 365 days under these circumstances.

Humble request from a fediverse long-timer: Can we please not do the "boost this tootif" practice? It marries the "like/retweet if" of Twitter and "Copy this to your status" of the Book of Faces and those are two of the worst parts of big social and I would absolutely love it if that doesn't become the new normal around here. Thanks.

A couple years ago, Facebook went HAM on people using their icons/logos etc in plugins on WordPress.org

Looking at Twitter? Yeeeaaaah if you have a plugin that uses Twitter, I would seriously rethink. You can close your own for the most part and honestly I would just shutter anything not super popular. They’re gonna go legally annoying.
