I miss the old Twitter when I saw the stupid X animation.

Twitter X is Elon Musk’s world. Pretty soon he’ll have so much control over his platform that he can practically cron kings and manipulate outcomes to fit his personal political agenda. And don’t even get me started on his whole stupid “X the everything app bullshit.

The only everything app that has succeeded so far is WeChat in China. But it’s apparently a surveillance app for the masses by the government. Seriously, why the hell would I want to link my social media account with my bank account and even my government ID? What’s the benefit in that?

I’d rather keep the digital me disconnected to the real me.

      Obviously nothing’s wrong with mastodon, but I’m digging the p2p sharing and the encryption aspects of WireMin. Im personally bored with Mastodon, and the apps for FireFish kinda suck right now.

      Edit: I also don’t really care about something being established or not, but that’s just how I am. WireMin could turn out to be my best bet at getting friends off of “them x pills”

        By “established” what I really mean is it’s already gone through the difficult part (i.e. while it’s not dominant I think it’s passed most of the hurdles that most attempted platforms have failed at). If something’s going to do better than Mastodon, it’s going to have to have something that people want that Mastodon doesn’t have, which I’m not seeing here, but maybe I’m wrong.

        I’m personally using a modded version of the official mastodon app called Moshitodon with my firefish account, not perfect and missing firefish-only features but it works

          I’ll probably come back around when the official firefish mobile app drops.

        This means instance owners on Mastodon have certain privileges and can ban users.

        Sure, but since anyone can own a mastodon instance this isn’t unjust.
