Kudos on the project! I often thought about building something similar myself, because I wasn’t happy with what’s out there. Everything is so complicated to set up and way too oversized for a simple log collection service, or the UI is just bad and super unintuitive for no reason. Glad you’re brining some new wind into the space.

I think it’s just because all the stuff has so much sludge from the flood on it that it looks washed up, like most AI content does. There are almost no straight edges, just like with AI, because everything has been roughed up by the water.

That’s fine, at least they just increased the family plan pricing by 60%. Oh, wait.

Sure, it's either everyone cares, or no one cares. No in between. Dude.

Look at the statistics. US has 1K servers. Thats 1 server per 340 000 people. France has 1 server per 82 000 people. Germany has 1 server per 114 000 people. See where I'm going with this?

Last I checked, the Fediverse as a whole is kind of an European thing. Across the pond, nobody really cares. They have a very different understanding of privacy and freedom and therefore no real desire to use some decentralized crap with shitty UI and broken federation when there’s a perfectly good alternative out there that just works™️

Yeah, like I said, they did a great job. 10-30 years ago. Not anymore. Just because something was true in the past doesn’t mean it’s still true now.

I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that.

Instead of buying Twitter, he could have started his own network. Would have been much cheaper, even if he would have done crazy marketing around it. And he wouldn’t have to deal with all the legacy code and social media legislations.

I agree that he was smart. But people change, especially when they get stupid rich. He lost his marbles.

I don’t know. Them being successful to me sounds like saying kidnappers can get girls. Might technically be true, but misleading. Microsoft managed to kidnap the modern economy by having had a good product previously. If we were to reset things, nobody in their right mind would go with any of the modern Microsoft products. They’re all objectively worse than their counterparts. But due to economic reasons and probably something to do with Stockholm syndrome and laziness, people are trapped in the Microsoft ecosystem.
