  1. Just noticed Linktree’s rebranding since the first once I made for the first #twitterapocalypse, good for them /genuine

  2. #PSA: *Do not expose confidential information online unencrypted. *

    Regardless of any good or bad characterization of the owner or management of a privately owned business or corporation, realize such entities are only obligated by 1) law and 2) contract.

    Their house; their rules.

    They are otherwise free to do anything else—and always have been. This means not keeping anything private if they decide to at some point. I'm referring not just to Twitter, but Facebook, all social media... *This is true for all companies, *regardless of their reputations. Management changes. Money is involved.

    The situation is only more obvious now when, for example, a CEO works against his own financial interests, which governs most people who worry about bankruptcy.

    *Simply do not expose confidential information online unencrypted, *even on this service.

    Sanity check: Goes for here, too.

    Some people don't practice what they preach. Usually they try when all eyes are on them... The smart ones, anyway. #elon #mastodon #twitter #twitterapocalypse

    The right wing turning on #Apple reminds of their destruction of Keurig coffee machines when that company hurt their feelings.

  6. The Twitter Apocalypse apparently cloned me.

    When I first joined Mastodon, I had several failed attempts at creating an account. QOTO was (I thought) the first one that worked. Lo and behold... this morning I received a news communique from SDF. Apparently my SDF account was "confirmed" without actually requesting confirmation from me. That's somewhat disturbing. Nonetheless, now I have two "DoctorRinny" instances.

    I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my SDF account... but I guess things happen for a reason. It will hang around for the time being, likely languishing.

    Filed under: I successfully cloned myself... now if only I can get my clone to do half of my work.

  7. For anyone interested, you can follow me on Mastodon at @[email protected]. That said, I do not expect the #TwitterApocalypse to happen and fully intend to stay here. #mastodon #mastodonmigration #twitter

  8. CW: twitterapocalypse sexbots

    I pop over to my birdland account occasionally just to see what is going on. And it is a desolate wasteland right now. But one area of activity that has soared beyond reason are the sexbots. My account is getting bombarded by bots using the same formulaic message that she just took these shots just for me. I ban them as an exercise of futility but the vein satisfaction of spitting into the face of what birdland has become.

  9. @rmayemsinger Definitely think there is a little of both in your poll. It is truly #TwitterApocalypse
