@majorlinux, I suppose forcing Twitter users to implant them in their brains, so that they do what Musk wants. It is a good method so that X does not lose more users (the chips explode when the user unsubscribes from X)
RTS Info sur X : "La RTS a décidé de fermer le compte RTSinfo sur X dès aujourd’hui. Ce choix vise à privilégier nos plateformes propres. Il est aussi lié à l’évolution récente de X, qui ne correspond plus à nos valeurs journalistiques. Le compte d’entreprise RadioTeleSuisse reste actif." / X https://x.com/RTSinfo/status/1797859318936850550
It's been suggested that with Elon Musk turning #Twitter into an X ... -rated pit of right wing disinformation and pornography, we're all actually living in a nearby timeline of the "Back to the Future Part II" forked timeline where Biff Tannen had turned 1985 Hill Valley into a pit of depravity.
I wonder to what extent the Fediverse is at risk of misinformation supersharers. On Mastodon specifically, if you follow someone whose original texts you want to read but whose boosts you don't want to read, you can block their boosts while continuing to see their own posts. Adding an opt-in instance-level or account-level (or both) option to limit the number of boosts to N per day might be useful.
Nitter is not dead. The alternative twitter/x front-end,is still working. Yes, now there are just a few public instances (nitter.poast.org is one of them), but with just a basic linux and docker knowledge you can self-host your own private instance.
I'm not exactly sure how it's happened, but it's pretty cool I can see Bluesky accounts talking on here.
It seems a shared interest in the misfortunes of the Nazi Bar has bridged the technical divide somewhere. #Twitter#Mastodon#Bluesky
@Lazarou One very hardworking open source developer (not affiliated with Bluesky) made a "bridge" thing which let people post from one side to the other (basically it creates kind of "mirror" accounts on the other side which clone the posts, translating links, mentions etc.): https://snarfed.org/2024-05-04_52915
