@escarpment@aral not at all – hamas just reacted the way any military group would to decades of siege and genocide. if anything, this is very much what israel wanted – it gives them an excuse to hasten that genocide beyond anything previously imaginable
@nixCraft a bunch of vergey dweebs threw tomatoes at me for saying it a week after launch, but it’s so clear that threads completely biffed it. musk gave them a golden opportunity but they really needed to replicate the twitter experience 1:1 to retain any significant share of those immediate 10m users. instead zuck said they’re anti-journalist and just want to be a “positive vibes” space…which may have worked in like 2014, but man, who but rich tech bros lives in that world anymore?
@Gargron@ardent_handsaw lol…if the verge and nilay ‘worked more like they’re supposed to’ they’d be all-in on mastodon 😆🥱 but hey, congrats on the good press – well earned
@Gargron newb rube question for anyone who cares to answer a newb rube: if i access mastodon primarily through a mobile app, what if anything do i need to do to see/get the upgrade?
neither a cultist nor a developer. i will make a real profile someday. i only check my mentions once every week or so. if you enjoy junk like potty humor, please block me before i block you 🤝 #nobridge #superstition
