i’d never noticed how much the twitter logo looks like an upside-down sonic the hedgehog
gotta fail fast
Just in time for Sonics 30’th anniversary!
Sonic’s 30th anniversary was in 2021.
Correct but why stop celebrating, Sega haven’t.
Sega’s had a hard enough time. Let them enjoy.
They could make it all up by re-releasing the Dreamcast and putting the original PSO servers online.
Most mention of it has disappeared by now due to linkrot, but there was that sale of refurbs from spare parts back in the mid 2000’s: https://www.engadget.com/2005-12-13-sega-not-re-launching-dreamcast-only-selling-refurbs.html
Give it another year or two, as new mini boards come out and things get back to normal-ish. Evidently, as recently as last year they were saying production costs would still be too high: https://www.destructoid.com/sega-saturn-mini-dreamcast-mini-mega-drive-mini-2-famitsu-interview-retro/
Seriously, they screwed themselves with bad decisons.
Associated with Twitter? No wonder why Tails was always superior.
We thank Elon for his effort in getting people to the fediverse 🙏🙏
The question is do we actually want everyone from twitter to be here?
If the instances properly moderate according to their rules and ban rule-breakers, then yes.
The toxic users will coagulate into isolated instances instead
I don’t even want the people that are here to be here
People here are mostly cool, But it does feel like more and more of the obnoxious redditors are discovering this place.
Hey! I resemble that remark!
You seem pretty cool actually.
Yeah I can’t tell if the internet is just a pedantic place or if it’s the same people that made reddit insufferable coming here.
I know I just described the same thing…
Make use of your blocks early, folks
This guy obnoxiouses.
Wait, no, that’s not right.
Uh, instructions unclear, dick stuck in Reddit? How’s that?
Chad mindset
Elon is doing more than most to showcase the failures of our systems and the downsides of billionaires
Thank you, comrade Elon
@Greenpepper I actually appreciate how Musk ruined Twitter. I was never fan of that service anyway. That means alternatives have a chance to grow. :-) Thank you Elon.
If you removed the noise from the signal , the signal was very good. When twitter first started there was a great talk about finding survivors and infornation in an earthquake. it was a great tool for crowdsourcing event ands info. It later gave people closer access to companies and people. But, i do agree, there was a lot of noise. i hope the signal finds home on the fediverse with mastadon or whatever.
The problem was, and is, that Twitter was always a private for-profit company whose business model was tracking users and mining their private data. Yes, it could do good things, and in the hands of some of those opressive regimes it could do some bad things and in between it was built to do some skeezy things because that was how they attracted the venture capital.
Not to mention it was never innovative in what it was offering, there were and are many different avenues to connect people (that is the fundamental feature of the internet) it just created a platform that became popular for various reasons. Earthquake victims and rescuers, anti-government protestors and so on could always use Signal or another app for talking to each other - and should.
One of the real impacts of the cancer of Twitter came when journalists reached a critical mass and decided if something was tweeted about it counted as a primary source and they could write an article about it without having to get out of their chair. It was always lazy journalism and often totally irresponsible journalism and it’s no coincidence that the apex of Twitter journalism was the rise of an orange demented sociopathic rapist. All of which was part of the promise of a service that sold views and news by secret algorithm and cash.
Interacting with someone famous was very cool. Asking a musician what something means and getting a reply and then a little back and forth… Twitter was an amazing thing for awhile.
Twitter’s effect on politics at least in the UK has been pretty negative in my opinion, it drives journalists towards short-form hot takes rather than journalism.
Slightly misleading title. He failed at renaming Paypal to X last time. So this time he was technically successful in what failed last time.

Nice illustration, whoever design these is doing a good job.
