I know, right? Everything these days is about pleasing our billionaire overlords. I draw the line at Bezos, though, and seems you do, too, JB. Nary a mention, but it's a matter of time before he rides the social media gravy train. After all, that loser has slipped to 3rd richest man (possibly because I won't let him milk my hard-earned) and he can't be happy about that position.
Is it wrong to be wondering if the the emotionally deformed incel is interested in used or used tampons? Not that I'm interested in financially exploiting his predilection...or wondering how to get all my sisters of a certain age world-wide in on the action. Zuck could probs give me advice on that one.
I liked the take from Ryan Broderick* over on his Garbage Day substack (https://www.garbageday.email/p/paying-to-use-a-site-you-cant-use ) that the killer feature of Twitter was the community and it's largely egalitarian nature. An average Joe could talk to Stephen King, or Barack Obama, or any number of journos, pollies, celebrities, etc and may well get heard. Or even, if they were lucky, get a reply.
I feel like Zuck's empire of apps is seen as being "for the masses, not the few", while the other fuck-knuckle is actively trying to kill off that sort of outrageous egalitarian outcome under the name of free speech. The contempt I have for Musk and his right-wing agenda under the guise of free speech saviour and boy-genius is palpable. The other players (Mastodon and BlueSky) seem hard to access and a bit iffy.
Until a community coalesces around an app, it's a bit hard to choose a successor. Then again, maybe the whole left/right divide is too big these days for a single community to co-exist and we'll scatter to the winds in our own bubbles.
Is it wrong that I want to see these two fuck knuckles fight but actually to the death rather than just bitch slap each other? As I am vegetarian now I have changed my stance on 'Eat the Rich'. I imagine their flesh would make me wretch. But maybe they can eat each other? Either way stuff their social platforms I cannot be arsed even looking at this Thread thing. Actually that's not true, I am actively avoiding it despite Instagram telling me I have notifications that are just them shilling that shit. I know if I have Instagram I am still Zuckerbergs bitch but how else am I meant to get my fill of women raging against the patriarchy in bite sized posts?
Don't forget that the orange rage monster and uncle Jack both also have twit-like socials to choose from. And then there's the communist, do-it-yourself federationist masto-thing. And Sina Weibo, and...
Can I order eyeballs as a side with my monkey-brain soup? Seems to me that there is everything and yet nothing in bazillionair conditioning. Who's to know? Why are we on this platform, for a start. Pawns in a Queens gambit perhaps. Or is our duplicitous participation in this email-internet cabal just a herd thing. The bovines go to the same waterhole as the predators. It just so happens that these too many bovines to eat all at once and some have nasty horns.
Yes, I'm a wary bovine. But Elon, Zucker et al would have more far more useless information about me than ignorance of what is interesting (Vauvenargs).

I think we're going to need a bigger guillotine.
Nepobaby wants to go to where the Zuck's likely from. Go figure. Great JB - emotionally deformed incel tampon-chewers. Gold.

So many options!
The perturbations of all billionaires, is that one billion is never enough, neither is two.
