I'm the only one that doesn't understand all this talk about twitter becoming a hellhole? It was already a hellhole, its reputation was on the same level as tumblr as the place where braincells go to die. Now you have people like Mutahard making videos about the site falling apart mysteriously forgetting a few weeks ago when he was complaining that the users were retarded.

So what's so different from before?

The poltical side he likes is not in charge anymore. Muta is as much of a leftist as anyone of the faggots. He is just a coward about it and will change tune as soon as the winds look to be not in his favor. Everyone of the faggots from Muta to Critical are now going for the "well we did not want twitter anyway". Excuses of course. They are just mad it has changed hands and are now declairing the site dead in an attempt to be solid with the soyboys.

Probably because as long as they can just echo what the mob says instead of actually buckling down and giving the thoughts they really have, the easier they can keep their daily content farms running and keep gaining the neetbux that they would rather get instead of relying on a job where they can actually contribute to society. why do you think Mutahar and his the other faggot kin on YouTube stay on the site despite whining about how much it fucks them over and all that shit?

Mastodon now has over 1 million users amid Twitter tensions

By Bill Toulas
November 7, 2022

Mastodon, the free, open-source, decentralized micro-blogging social media platform, has surpassed a million monthly active users for the first time in its history.

The platform's explosive growth was announced today by Eugen Rochko, the creator of Mastodon, who noted that almost half of the new users (489,000) joined the platform since October 27, 2022, when Elon Musk's sealed the purchase of Twitter.

The sudden influx of users to Mastodon is caused by a notable wave of migration from Twitter, as it uses a similar interface and social feed format.

Mastodon features 500-character posts called "toots" arranged in a chronological feed, user tagging (mentions), privacy posting options, a hashtags system, and more.

Some people are leaving Twitter because its new owner, Elon Musk, decided to impose controversial account verification and freedom of speech policy changes, announcing them almost immediately upon completing the takeover.

The new policies brought a measurable rise in hate speech and aggressive trolling as various parties tested the limits of moderation under Elon Musk's management.

A second, even more, voluminous wave of migration to Mastodon came when Twitter announced massive layoffs of personnel, which didn't resonate well with the community.

Mastodon's moment​


While Mastodon looks similar to Twitter, it's fundamentally different, operating on a network of self-hosted servers (instances) that each has its own terms, privacy options, and content moderation policies.

The network of individual servers unites under a network of co-existing instances thanks to a federation system, practically allowing Mastodon users from any server to interact with each other.

Thanks to this decentralized approach, Mastodon does not belong to a single person or company, and it's not operated for profit, so there are no ads, although people may still promote services independently.

However, like Twitter, direct messages to other users on a server are not encrypted and can be viewed by the admins of the server hosting the messages. Therefore, users should not use Mastodon DMs to send private or sensitive information.

Since October 27, 1,124 new servers have been added to the Mastodon network, opening up to welcome new users looking to join.

However, the massive influx of users has created an operational strain on the network, with many reporting issues on the mobile app, account creation verification email, server availability, and more.

Hence, the transition could be smoother for everyone who attempts to join Mastodon, with technical problems added to the otherwise gentle learning curve.

Twitter is undergoing a stormy period of change, and either for better or worse, some of its users will explore alternatives like Mastodon.

Whether or not the user migration to Mastodon will have the duration to shape a new reality in the social media industry or if an entirely new platform will pop up to take advantage of the situation is too early to tell.

If the first point is true, then there are a surprising number of companies out there that still have some form of moral compass.

That's real optimistic. They just know that in terms of lynch mobs online, the woke cancel mobs are rivaled only by the hysterical save the children crowd in terms of ferocity and sheer retardation.

As far as I understand it's still copacetic if the advertisers and/or websites the righteous moral crusaders like using do it themselves though. So long as it's a corporation exploiting children and completely fucking them up for selfish reasons then nobody seems to care too much. Addressing that might require more effort and willpower than just throwing a tard fit at the target of the week.

Imagine having enough money to spend everyday on a private island with pristine beachs, the most beautiful women, the best drugs around, the most delicious food and with enough money left over to do it for 50 lifetimes and you decide that being MATI is more important.

The dollar is progressively becoming monopoly money. Clout is the real currency nowadays; no point in having drugs and women when the only thing that can get a man hard anymore is trending on social media for all your rich friends to see.

Boomer sellout craves attention from father; feigns worries about banning and capitalizes Random Words for no Apparent reason. Seriously, why is it almost always black Americans who do the latter? Is it a fuck you thing to whitey like refusing to say "ask" properly?

Ice T likely capitalizes the B words because he used to be a member of the Bloods and nigger gangs are known for doing shit like that.

Kathy Griffin update: after getting banned from Twitter for some kind of gay retarded nonsense, she's back on her dead mom's Twitter account. She still hasn't changed the bio OR the profile pic.

I just don't get how you can live with yourself as a comedian constantly taking yourself THIS seriously. Like, Tim Heidecker is politically insufferable too but if he did something like this it'd be fucking hilarious.
