@gleick@mas.to London as the rear base of independent journalism after a brutal regime change… #DejaVu

I say future digital cameras should include a SIM card and hands-free mode so that we loop that loop.

@jeffmcneill @jeff @MHowell @raiderrobert @pluralistic "Turdification" would have worked too! (Though even harder to translate in other languages I suppose.) Let's keep it for another of the many processes of decay in big tech.

@Starkimarm@23.social @ntnsndr@social.coop You're right, but the proliferation of nazis, trolls and dipshits results from the whims of the new owner. So the owner is the root of the problem. So ownership, i.e. being owned by someone or some profit-driven entity, *is* the peril.

@ntnsndr@social.coop And yet most people who *finally* flee the nazi bar flock to… BlueSky and Threads. They've obviously learned nothing, and this is very disheartening.

I am floored and fascinated by the near-literary quality of many of the descriptions of images that people carefully craft when appending pictures to their posts on Mastodon. Some of them will reveal a detail that had escaped my attention. Others will help me understand a subtle joke I had missed. Others still are true poems. ALT are their own microblogging world that reveals itself as you hover on a picture. And I hover, and hover.

@taylorlorenz@mastodon.social Just about every reason one may have to leave Twitter is also a reason to stay away from Post. Moving from one to the other makes about as much sense as switching from Diet Coke to Coke Zero because you resent artificial sweeteners.
