  3. “The internet’s town square should never have been one specific website with its own specific rules and incentives. It should have been, and should be, the web itself. […] The web is wide open again, for the first time in what feels like forever.” inessential.com/2022/11/13/after_twitter

  4. A lot of us are really enjoying the chronological, algo-free timeline on #Mastodon and are engaging in calm, downbeat, humane conversations over there. “It feels like early Twitter.” I already said this a week ago: this time, it’s different and we’ve reached critical mass. 🚀
  5. Amazing use of :has() – also by the GitHub team on their website for Mona sans. 👏 argyleink/1591195162860191745
  6. Hands up! Who else has their Twitter DMs full of spam now? 🙌🥳

  8. Welcome to “payment-verified” hell. somebadideas/1588876465915166721
  9. I don’t know how active I’ll be on this site going forward. 💔 But I’ll always be part of the IndieWeb! ✊ 👨‍💻 Website: matthiasott.com 🧡 RSS: matthiasott.com/rss 🐘 Mastodon: mastodon.social/@matthiasott

  10. You know what will outlive every social media platform? Your personal website. 🎉 And how do we stay up to date with what everyone’s publishing? #RSS feeds! 🧡 Here’s my updated list of RSS feeds of personal #websites. It now contains >270 entries: github.com/matthiasott/personal-websites-RSS

  11. “What I pride myself on as an artist are authentic expressions, appealing design, and relatable characters. And I feel like that is something that I see AI, in general, struggle with most of all.” waxpancake/1587463058020270080
  12. As a result of being permanently suspended – although he didn’t break the Twitter rules and still doesn’t know why he was banned – mmatuzo can't access his photos, bookmarks, DMs, and connected logins anymore. This is gross, TwitterSupport. But nobody cares anymore, right? m_ott/1584648614282133504
  13. Why did Musk buy Twitter? What is he trying to do? And what does this have to do with Jack, technocracy, crypto, and “longtermism”? A compelling but equally disturbing piece by davetroy: davetroy.medium.com/no-elon-and-jack-are-not-competitors-theyre-collaborating-3e88cde5267d

  14. I turned off cross-posting from and to Twitter now. It just doesn’t work for me. It feels weird to see RTs here and Mastodon handles on Twitter. Mastodon is not a cheap copy of the hellsite, but a platform of its own with a healthy, respectful community. 💚 I will, (1/2)
