I think it's glorious that there's now a Mastodon server operated by people who used to work for Twitter (macaw.social). I could have never imagined it when I started in 2016.

@Gargron yeah I saw that mentioned somewhere. Not sure why they want to wall themselves off, but they're welcome to it :)

@Gargron I really hope you're talking to them. They'll definitely have valuable experience that could be applied to Mastodon and the Fediverse as a whole.

@Gargron I think it's glorious that you referred to it as Twitter instead of birdsite.

@Gargron

OTOH, we now have millions of Twitter users decrying how insufferable it is to choose a site among a list of domains; to not cater to the singular-ized App Store experience of App = Service.

The crystallization of that kind of sentiment could bring down the Internet, and I'd bet actors like Elon Musk are already positioning themselves to exploit it for nefarious ends.

@Gargron that’s brilliant. I thought it was awful how Musk just sacked them.
