Also, good guy St. Pauli. They are also currently transforming into a co-op which is unique in German soccer. TRAILBLAZERS!

Sai King has left Twitter, so he has.
Drat, this Tower's level
I did get a warning to not engage in level hopping, which is why I must emphasize not to do so again
It was 10 years ago.
People just want to be smug now cause it's the cool thing to do.
Better late than never for all of these people, I guess.

Sunk cost fallacy hits people hard.
It's true. I never deleted my reddit posts and comments because I spent like 13 years with that account. A part of my brain says "don't delete those, you might need them later." It's like a natural hording instinct.
Anything but Mastodon/Activitypub, eh? These fellas rlly love sucking on corporate dicks, don't they
Mastodon is a far worse experience than Twitter and Bluesky, it's not a 1:1 transition.
Attitudes like yours certainly isn't attracting any new users...
Sure, but he's not wrong. I'll never get why people love to rail again corporations and enshittification while using those sites.
It really boggles my mind the cognitive dissonance of everybody constantly complaining about corporations screwing them over, then refusing to use the obvious solution to their problems.
I can absolutely believe that an old guy like Stephen King has never even heard of Mastodon. It's not like there's a big Mastodon PR team being paid to advertise its existence.
Good point. Does anyone know an animator? I'll write some promotional material.
Or sometimes the PR team of niche and new tech are a bunch of insufferable twats.
I can totally believe that he didn't know about mastodon, but even Bluesky is like a reasonable platform. Threads... I see literally no upside to using threads. It's on a timer from the beginning to turn into another X. Just look at how long Facebook has been a cesspool of Nazi propaganda.
Twitter to Threads is like leaving Derry for Jerusalem's Lot.
So it's like moving from Salem's Lot to a house near the town of Ludlow, along a busy highway with a pet cemetery nearby?
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed. Good for him, though, he's trying.
He has a Bluesky account already, and has posted...some.
Everyone I've seen (mostly in the tech space) seems to say that Threads feels soulless. I follow a few people there from my Masto account (yay, federation), and that's all fine and dandy. But I don't know if I'd trust Zuck in the long run since he already seems to be kissing the ring.
I've been calling it the Roman numeral for ten site formerly known as twitter. Are people just abbreviating this to 'X' now?
I've been calling it Xitter, the X is pronounced sh
Yep, and each post is a Xit, still pronounced with the mandarin X.
Each post that goes viral is poppin’.
If it really blows up it’s BACKNE and it’s POPPIN’!
But the best xits are all BLOWING THE FUCK UP!
Whole place was covered in pus! means EVERYONE popped it. To pop a xit is to share a post.
Gah. Hep me loard.
The mandarin X is pronounced similar to SH pronunciation in English.
Like Xiaomi is pronounced "Show me"
So Xitter and Xit are not pronounced with the Z sound you are thinking.
Oh, and yours isn’t the comment I meant to reply to.
Shitter, zitter. It’s all gravy baby.
I mean, shitter is cool and all. It ain’t poppin’ though.
Xitter! It’s poppin’!
Formerly known as? It's still twitter.
I've just been calling it twitter
I'll never deadname a person, but I'll deadname the shit out of a bigoted transphobic crybaby billionaire's shitty website.
Should I not be calling it "trans"?
https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/37394/why-do-some-words-have-x-as-a-substitute
Just make "X" catch on as a popular Euphemism for "Trans."
Please don’t, thanks
Merry transmas.
Bro should’ve went to Mastodon.
