Unfortunately for me, my mother is sympathetic with the author of this post.
Since I have been living with her since the pandemic began, it's been really hard seeing her taken in by this guy and his myriad other claims.
@mmasnick Thoughts on this article? My impression is it's crap, but I need to know what you think of it

Hello new people! 👋
I run a human-curated directory of interesting accounts to follow on here:
Do you have an account that posts a lot about a particular topic? Would you like to be listed in the directory?
If so, reply or @ me or send me a DM and let me know!
(The site only went live a few days ago so some topics are less populated than others, but this is why I am working on expanding it!)
Boosts appreciated

So Musk is laying off people *today* at Twitter to try to get them out before Tuesday when many of them have huge bonuses scheduled.
Except... California requires 60 days notice for such layoffs, and he's going to get destroyed in court. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/29/technology/twitter-layoffs-musk-jobs.html

There is a Nov. 1st vesting at Twitter. By announcing a start mass layoffs, Musk is trying to avoid employees this portion of their compensation. This is because he’s a scumbag.
Mass layoffs without notice are illegal, btw. He obviously doesn’t gad but this will be a lawsuit.
@joelmartinez Will take a look!

I have nothing to play with, no. I just like the idea of creating music from scratch via computers

How to migrate from one Mastodon server to another without losing followers:
1. Sign up on new server
2. On NEW server: Go to Account -> Moving FROM another account
3. Enter old account's handle
4. On OLD server: Go to Account -> Moving TO another account
5. Enter new account's handle and submit

H1: There are distinct pulses of Twitter-to-Mastodon migration driven by events in Twitter’s history.
H2: Later cohorts of users will have lower familiarity + commitment to FOSS values + projects than earlier cohorts.
H3: New users will default to joining a general instance first and then micro-migrate to a more specific instance later.
H4: Greater circulation of folk documentation for using Fediverse affordances will attract and retain more new user activity.

I don't think Musk is being genuine about his "minimal censorship" attitudes. He's already said he wants a "moderation council", which is a walk back from his previous statements.
To be honest I don't think he has any idea what he is doing. He bought the site on an impulse, waived the right to due diligence, tried to back out when he realized he was paying $44 billion for a site that barely turns any profit at the best of times, and finally relented when he realized that he was about to go through a deposition on the matter.
@koherecoWatchdog @slothrop From what I've heard, that's what Musk *wants* it to become. Given that Musk's skills and accomplishments are, like his net worth and ego, almost entirely inflated, I don't see that happening, especially with Twitter being unprofitable and the unachievable profit levels he'll need to not lose money on this.
@slothrop That's a really good point. I never thought of the possibility that the media might still take Twitter seriously even as Elon causes the site to burn hotter and hotter with awfulness.
I'd like to think that journalists would pick up on this at some point and flee, but who the heck knows at this point.

Basically, news orgs will need to break the habit of reporting stuff that happens on Twitter as news.
If enough of them manage to do so, that would actually be a real improvement: they would have to go back to hunting news closer to its source, rather than just waiting to have it spoon-fed by The Algorithm.

Dear #TwitterMigration folks, an important tip on #privacy on the fediverse:
There is none.
This is a public medium; please treat it as such. Just as you have no privacy on Twitter (Elon Musk can read all your DMs), you have no privacy on the instance you’re on (your administrators can read all your posts).
You can set the visibility of a post but that’s a viewing suggestion, not a privacy guarantee.
Think of your posts as postcards, not sealed letters, and you should be fine.
@ferds This is a huge part of the reason I like internet chat so much. At the end of the day, it's fun to just chat with people you don't know about whatever.

@joelmartinez I definitely enjoy software, programming, and tech. I am a fan of synth music, but don't know much about how to compose it, though I have suspected it would be a worthwhile thing to learn.
