I was just discussing this. bsky.app/profile/usef...
More evidence in support of Dead Internet Theory:
Have you tried buying a domain name lately? 90% are reserved and unused, 8% are taken. One must scrounge through the remainder to pick up something worthwhile. (I still can't believe I managed to grab a sensible five-letter .com a few years ago.)

... another part of me feels there's something magical and meaningful about feeling it out and iterating like I have been. It's more work, maybe, but also more valuable.

Anyway, I hope the app helps those (like me) who have ADHD, executive dysfunction, poor organization, and/or a lack motivation.

I rewrote the script to account for the break. The Xitter purge is taking forever because I have so many reposts to clear out. Xitter does not include reposts in your post count--I only have about 10k of my own posts and probably at least 200k reposts ... Little mortified to realize that.

Xitter breaks if you delete more than 1000 re/posts so this will take longer than anticipated.

I'm feeling it as it is. Feels hot, summer-y, school-holiday-y. Free. Lovely.

I disagree. I'm finally making a concerted effort to be here because X has become so intent on scraping the LCD of the social network barrel. And Elon Musk is specifically targeting the worst demographics, so it will only get worse. There is increasingly little value to be found in X.
