Most of the content here is from twitter, so yeah...

We may not be using twitter but we are discussing content from twitter.

Its a bit depressing actually. There isnt other websites where things happen that would be more interesting to actually talk about...

"So it never worked?"

"No."

"And been a team of people in Wokeistan this whole time?"

"Angola, but yes."

"And it's been saying this woke crap becuase you've been paying them to? ... Why?"

"Because you're a jackass Elon. And nobody likes you."

He's going off the rails with drugs. Maybe they should delete his job.

Oh ok, sorry. I wasn't aware that the fediverse restricted algorithms

I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App.

Translation: I’m so thankful that I’ve had the opportunity to devote 2 years of my life to a company that was able to build a product that could appropriately express its true love for Adolf Hitler.

Twitter has been a nazi shithole since day 1 of the Musk era. At least now people cant say they didn't know anymore. If you stick there your either a nazi-bitch, or a nazi's bitch.

….that we know of. Could have used a surrogate.

It CAN be time based, but there's also a "hot" and an "active" sorting. Both of which are "algorithms".

It's a lot more simple of an algorithm, and doesn't intentionally push specific topics, but if you open https://lemmy.world/ anonymously, you'll see a default "All/Active" feed which is sorted by engagement.

If you hang out at a Nazi bar, you're a Nazi.

Perhaps it's because I'm old, but I kinda hit a wall a few years back where I stopped giving a shit about what famous people had to say on the internet. So on that basis, the move from Twitter to Mastodon was easy for me. Less easy was leaving behind people who I liked, but life is change, and we leave people behind all the time.

We can all go entire books at this point with the things we can't believe...

This timeline is fucking insane, and twice as depressing as anything I thought I'd ever live through.

Perhaps you shouldn’t. At this point, it’s likely the majority of users are bots.

Real translation: thanks for the paycheck. Remember me when you need another yes person to be your scapegoat.

I am also addicted to the fediverse.

Are you saying 90% of Americans bought a Tesla last month?

I guess for me the stench of the people are counteracting the near heroin addictiveness of the fediverse

Who is liable for the output of Grok anyway? Would Germany like to ask about now

So sad when a CEO catches the woke mind virus, thoughts and prayers!

That's easy. It's more dull here, and there's less lock-in.

No, really. Social media without the dopamine-pump-style algorithm behind it is far less stimulating. Meanwhile, the Federation model itself allows us to abandon nodes that are co-opted by bad actors. So there's always somewhere else to go with all your favorite stuff when things go sour.
