X: Was ist denn da in Hameln los?
Meinen „Twitter/X“-Account habe ich schon vor längerer Zeit gelöscht. Nur mit ganz spitzen Fingern fasse ich die Maus an, wenn ich mich mit meinem „Beobachtungszugang“ bei X einlogge um zu schauen, was da so passiert […]

Just in case you had the slightest doubt about what Elon Musk is doing with X/Twitter, look at this brief thread. He is one of the true monsters of our era, and he uses X/Twitter to guide his fellow right-wing extremists to ever-more-extreme places.

If you are still there, you should be ashamed.

Solange die Politik weiterhin hauptsächlich auf X unterwegs ist, und nicht im #fediverse, halte ich deren digitale Politik für unglaubwürdig. Wollen #merz und #macron wirklich eine digitale Wende, woran ich so meine Zweifel habe, dann wäre ein ersten Schritt, weg von den US-Konzernen, und weg […]

Musk launched DOGE in order to kill the investigations of himself & Tesla at the SEC and NHTSA. The rest of it (starving hundreds of thousands of kids by slashing USAID) was just collateral damage, a distraction.

Was just listening to a conversation between a VC and an author who writes about innovation, and they were discussing "why Elon couldn't successfully reform the government" and it was the dumbest conversation I've heard in a while. And I realized they were starting with the wrong premise...

Let’s be honest about the state of the #fediverse regarding large-scale adoption: for several important groups, it still doesn't work well enough.

Does it make sense for a small business to use the Fediverse as its main channel? [1]
What about civil society organisations involved in politics? […]

Meta should be sued and regulated out of existence, and that pesky CEO along with it.

It bogs my mind how after seeing that Meta is actively allowing and endorsing the destruction of its users' lifes for even more profit, we still (as a society) accept to be captives to them.

The man who bought Twitter for $44 billion to secure unaccountable power over public discourse
is discovering what unaccountable power actually looks like when wielded by someone who understands dominance even better than he does.

Scientists predominantly use X and LinkedIn for professional scientific networking, but with Bluesky and Mastodon in recent years hoping to break through as alternatives.
