I don’t want to take it too far
but its out of my hands
Its interesting that I guess I am, slowly, coming back this. The upcoming death of twitter ( mixed feelings) has me thinking about a lot of things that have changed in how I communicate with the word at large and also with what the internet is, was, will be… I registered idoru just about 20 years ago (next month!) and a lot of things have changed in that 20 years. More good than bad on the balance of things and that’s a win.
But I really did lean into twitter, mostly on accident I think. It’s the only social media site that made sense to me intrinsically. Text has always spoken more to me than photo/video as a means of communication, because its what I am a better at. I enjoy taking photos, I enjoy … ok never mind about video but I can spit out a pithy sentence easily and be happy with it. The death of twitter means a lot of things and maybe I will write a longer form thing about it, who knows. If so I will probably cover
- elon and how he sucks
- why twitter worked
- why mastodon isn’t the future (i think)
- what it would take to save twitter
- what *could* be a replacement
But the reality is that all of that has been covered by many people, including many people who are much smarter than me. But, suffice to say that the world isn’t better because muskrat is in it.
Oh, yeah also I did buy a house a move and whatever. Its kind of fun.
