I just haven't had much time to get back into blogging, but when I do, I have shit-ton of topics (and gripes) to discuss. My latest is how too many people think it's stylish and fun to beat up on Twitter, without considering just how big a deal Twitter actually was and still is, and just now many things have depended on it. Rather than see it as some villian, we should see it as a victim that needs rescuing, until the fediverse has backfilled the GOOD things it did and provided for us.

I think it's on life support with a poor prognosis. Twitter itself isn't the core issue. It's what can become a source of reliable information that's free to access. I don't know that Mastodon is the answer to that.
With the advent of deep fakes and sources like ChatGPT, will we ever have a single, trustworthy source of important and factual information? I'm not sure how that could be accomplished.
