i'd never noticed how much the twitter logo looks like an upside-down sonic the hedgehog

one colour sonic silhouette logo upside-down twitter logo being impaled by the new x logo

I've worked in FinTech for a while and it's one of those things that seems simple from the outside, but it's fraught with complexity when you get to the details. Good luck Elon.

We thank Elon for his effort in getting people to the fediverse 🙏🙏

Elon is doing more than most to showcase the failures of our systems and the downsides of billionaires

Thank you, comrade Elon

The question is do we actually want everyone from twitter to be here?

[–] GentlemanLoser@reddthat.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't even want the people that are here to be here

[–] Roundcat@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

People here are mostly cool, But it does feel like more and more of the obnoxious redditors are discovering this place.

[–] VoxAdActa@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We’re happy to serve 🙃

@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.

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.
