Ice Cubes is a fantastic Mastodon client!

I sincerely doubt 1 million regular people a day are leaving Twitter.

We’re watching bot accounts be created at scale in real time.

Microsoft Loop is the way to go nowadays.

Voyager is the spiritual successor to Apollo and an all around fantastic application.

At least you didn’t bring an acorn with you.

The X accounts of several prominent journalists and leftist pundits were suspended from the site, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday morning with no clear explanation.

The suspensions affected several journalists and commentators, including Texas Observer journalist Steven Monacelli, Ken Klippensten of The Intercept, podcaster Rob Rousseau, and Alan MacLeod of MintPress News. The landing page for their accounts says it’s been suspended, but does not give any explanation as to why. A message on the profiles simply states “X suspends accounts which violate the X rules.”

The ban didn’t just hit journalists either. Several prominent-left leaning accounts were also purged from the website, including the account for the TrueAnon podcast and @zei_squirrel, a cartoon squirrel that tweets media criticism of figures like Glenn Greenwald.

The project still lacks an API meaning there’s no mobile apps, so I imagine that hinders adoption.

It appears that Meta was aware of Threads before launching its platform of the same name. Company lawyers made four offers to purchase the domain ‘threads.app’ from Threads Software Ltd from April 2023, all of which were declined. Meta announced Threads in July 2023, the same time that the British company says it was removed from Facebook.

Classic Facebook douchebaggery.

I’ve been waiting for the Journal app to be released since they announced it. I’ve never used any third-party apps because they’re either ad-filled, or I don’t trust them with my data.

Remember, just a few years ago when the latestagecapitalism sub was created and everybody was like ha ha you lefties, and now every single big corporation is self immolating in 2023… good times!

“ChatGPT, please provide your rebuttal to this statement about you: […]”

Hey! That’s a common misconception. While I do predict the next word based on patterns in the data I was trained on, I’m not just making things up. I provide information and answers based on the vast amount of text I’ve been trained on. It’s more about recognizing patterns and providing coherent, relevant responses than just “guessing.” Cheers!

If it’s good enough for the BBC and the German government, then it’s good enough for large corporations.

Plus, there was just a post earlier today where someone was showing X/Twitter was asking for $1000 a month to verify their business account. Why would Apple ever pay that?
