    I’m leaving Reddit. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic. Follow me on Sh.itjust.works, if you like.

    I like King, but like everyone leaving the boat since a couple of days, it’s too little too late. Plus, leaving a babyllionaire’s toy for another babyllionaire’s toy is probably not the brightest idea.

      He’s a multimillionaire who spent an entire decade or more so coked out and drunk that he doesn’t even remember writing Cujo. Don’t set your expectations so high.

      I wish I could delete my Threads account, but I can’t delete what doesn’t exist. And I think I deleted my Twitter account before Musk bought it, but I honestly can’t remember since I haven’t used it many years.

      Idk, Zuck doesn’t seem to suck up to Trump quite as much, so there’s that. He still does, but he’s just a bit more of a “behind closed doors” kind of person.

    Now it’s too toxic? I love SK but come on. Supported that site for too long.

    It’s remarkable that Musk is so horrible that he managed to make Zuckerberg look good by comparison.

    The “sudden” realisation of corporations and publications and celebrities that now xitter is bad, but a month ago it was fine, is one of the thinner veils I’ve seen for a while, and there are a lot of thin veils going around.

    The truth is, they only care once their income (or other personal interest) is potentially threatened, not a millisecond sooner, and definitely not about the bigotry that’s always been on there, but which has been completely undeniable for a good couple of years now, and which they were happy to turn a blind eye to this long.

    If you think these people are allies, you’re giving them waaaaaaay too much credit.

    “I tried hanging out with the Nazis, but they’re just too toxic”

    Honestly… 🙄🙄🙄

    We have the Nazi bar owned by the Nazi who proudly put the Nazi flag outside and kicks anybody out who insults Nazis, but where a lot of non-Nazis still hang out because it was the busiest, best place before the Nazis took over: Twitter.

    We have the soulless corporate bar run by a guy who installed cameras everywhere in the bar, in every booth, every bathroom stall, where every 5 minutes the music is interrupted by an ad, and where the exit door shut has been welded shut: Threads.

    We have bar started by the guy who initially owned the Nazi bar, but who has since been kicked out, that has recently accepted a major funding round from TESCREAL fascists, but where the vibe, so far, is pretty chill, where they promise that eventually you’ll be able to wander to nearby bars that all share the same menu, but where that promise is always some vague time in the future: Bluesky.

    We have the series of no-name pubs that don’t show up on any maps, some run out of people’s houses, some even run from studio apartments, some run out of mental institutions, where you can leave any time you want and take your friends with you, where it’s a bit of a free-for-all, and if you want a round of drinks you have to chase down the busy publican and ask what’s available, and where you might be asked for help pouring drinks: Mastodon.

    It’s great to see that years after the Nazis took over, some people are finally choosing to stop going to the Nazi bar. It makes you wonder why they stayed so long though. But, I’m not as impressed with where they’re choosing to go instead.

    He can fuck off for legitimizing and enriching Musk’s Twitter for two years and then leaving after it’s too late to do any good.
