@darius I cannot be bothered to read most of his incoherent brain dump but it’s kind of wild that he notes getting booted off that instance, and then writes seven paragraphs trashing good features that foster better social media, especially defederation. Then again, not wild—he thrives on attention.

@darius BREAKING NEWS: author of purplest prose left heartbroken by "the American poetry community"

@darius
:brain1: I can't figure out the business model
:brain2: it doesn't seem to be ad-supported
:brain5: do you just pass the hat around?

@darius sorry sorry last one i promise

@darius Ugh what a repetitive, confused read. The comments are hilarious though.

@darius Did it occur to him that joining an instance for journalists might have been his mistake?

@darius so…he’s complaining about exactly everything Elon is doing on Twitter…

@darius I wouldn’t conclude ANYTHING from what S*th *br*ms*n says! The guy is a lunatic.

@darius "It's time for some game theory...1/897"

@darius Seth's post is an amalgam of various rushes to judgement without much effort to understand the issues. Agreed, very sloppy.

@darius He's all happy on Post....

@darius

The filtering mechanisms are working :)

@darius I’ve had some sharp and heated exchanges with him over this post and others. This was his own doing—he never verified with a rel=me link (check the source code on his website) then wonders why an admin in Europe takes down what looks like a fake account with thousands of followers and almost no posts. He should be thanking them instead of bashing them and the service.

@darius He seems to have been on mstdn.social. I wonder if @stux has issues with the accuracy of his account. I suspect something could be omitted. This instance has seemed fairly no-drama so far.

@darius Friends don't let friends get sucked in by Seth Abramson.

@darius Lol, they smelled him coming a mile away.

@darius "My understanding, for instance, is that the sometimes-anonymous overlords of an individual Mastodon server can actually read your private messages without your knowledge... obviously as a lifelong civil libertarian I was deeply concerned."

He's.... he's on Twitter, right?

@darius @edbott Stopped following him “over there” pretty quickly.

@darius His epic Twitter threads on US politics were often worth a read, but, yeah. Wow. 'Sysadmins can read your private shit!' -- er, yeah...

@darius I think there's a beautiful irony in the fact that he wrote this on Post.
