In retrospect, these two tweets may have been Elon's most visionary.

Them: #Andor is the least merchandisable #StarWars; no one wants a lego set about trudging to work every day under oppressive conditions.

Me: *spends weeks delightedly building a lego diorama of Ferrix*

Let’s try this again. Where you at #fediverse? Boosts welcome so we can get the best sample size.

I think my favorite part of the Twitter Blue fiasco is that he appears to have implemented the Something Awful style of moderation-with-money, except HE DID IT WRONG.

The correct way to do it would be to charge people for any rule infraction, not impersonation. If they violate the TOS they get booted and have to pay $8 to rejoin.

Instead, he made it cheap to go viral by impersonating famous people.

There's something soothing about (re)building one's network of follows and followers on Mastodon after years of network inertia on Twitter. Old friends, new friends, but the horizons are wide open.

I've seen a lot of people asking about DMs here. I wrote an article about this today, but thought it'd be more useful to just say it in a post: Privacy is not the purpose of DMs. DMs are a courtesy to your followers. You’re communicating with another user directly because the information is of no value to anyone else, and there’s no reason to flood other people’s timelines with irrelevancies. Do not use DMs to discuss personal or sensitive information. (Use Signal).
