Twitter is so unfathomably back (note: This is from BlueSky, which is twitter but pretending not to be)

There's an uncomfortable comfort in shitposting through the coolzone again after all these years. And yeah, I do kinda want to see some kid micro-ing a few hundred drones through an air-defense network.
Repeating and building on my most libbed up opinion: Jack Dorsey was the most benevolent CEO of a platform like Twitter that we can expect under capitalism. It's also incredibly fucking hilarious that he managed to get out of Twitter while retaining the right to create a Twitter 2.0 literal clone of Twitter.
If one day Twitter is a wasteland of tumbleweeds and Bluesky reaches Twitter levels of value. Maybe that will be the event that triggers my predicted Elon's full spiral and inevitable death at his own hands.
Throwing that in the MonkeyPaw-Wish-Caster-9000X (now with 75% more monkey paw!)
Jack left Bluesky's board because it wasn't racist enough and went back to twitter which is pretty fitting for the guy who invented a website as awful as twitter
After bluesky jack started funding nostr which is a protocol for social media (like activitypub) but designed to resist censorship as a primary goal (and marketing focus). I really like the tech behind it, but by sheer coincidence the user population is mostly Bitcoin fanatics and antivaxxers.
