Breaking my twtr boycott of over three and a half years just to share this news. B/c if there ever was a game which is against whatever the fresh hell tech oligarchs did to this site, and to our society at large, it’s Neo Cab.

I deleted this app months ago, but I’m now preparing to fully archive and lock my account. I urge you to do the same: as much as it pains me to say it, liked and faves aren’t worth being complicit in this madness. I’m hoverbird on M4st0 and thr34ds… meet me in Montauk?

Nothing but respect to the anonymous Twitter engineer who leaked the Twitter source code. You are doing the lord's work. I'd have done the same if I still had access tbqh

Twitter’s “For You” absolutely KILLING IT with state of the art personalization. @elonmusk has done it again.

#API_RIP to this and so, so many other brilliant, thought provoking and hilarious bots that made this site so fun for so long. But the grand project of destroying speech in order to save it must go on...

There are only a few days left to migrate your Twitter follow graph to the elephant site- Elno kills the public API next week. Get out! Some tools that may still work til then: Debirdifier debirdify.pruvisto.org Fedifinder fedifinder.glitch.me Twitodon twitodon.com

Everybody thinks "The Social Network" is the best movie about forming a new startup, but they are wrong. The best movie is "Ghostbusters".

do not download the app called “one sec” if you want to doom scroll and spend lots of time reading twitter. it’s the absolute worst thing you can do. it ruined my dopamine conditioning, now i focus for long periods of time and don’t compulsively check my phone :(

I'm doing an experiment. On my computer, I am checking the latest tweets by people I follow. On my phone, I'm checking whether their most recent tweets are showing up in the "Following" column. I'm just getting started, but even in the first dozen cases, Twitter failed to show me

That’s why Tesla is right about banning remote work. I know a guy who claims to work for Tesla but also has a gig at a Telcom, at a freight company, does a side job digging holes, sells medical implants AND trades crypto. But he spends most of his time shitposting on twitter.

A cool thing about Måstódon is you just follow interesting accounts and there’s no ads or paid propaganda whatsoever. It does cost you $0/month though

I'm buddies with someone who was one of the first 15 engineers at MySpace. The dude had a family emergency w/ sudden, massive doctorbills. MySpace Tom not only gave him open-ended leave from work, he opened up his personal checkbook and asked how much my friend needed. #Tom4CEO
