Between Bluesky and Threads I feel like they are an adequate replacement for Twitter. Also now my feed has become more or less a ghost town so I'm going to completely switch to them for a week and see if I have a desire to switch back here.

I will never understand why documentation examples written in Typescript do not include the types like you're just writing JavaScript with extra steps.

Literally the easiest and pain free way to buy a domain 😓

[Killed by Google @killedbygoogle]

I am absolutely shocked. lmao

I swear that AI TikTok voice filter everyone is using in a few years will as seem as cringey as rage comics are today.

[Alex! @a_rodgerz]

I'm seeing people selling bluesky invite codes for $100... and they're actually being bought. It's crazy what artificially creating exclusivity will do for a product that I'd argue isn't even better than Twitter (yet).

I've probably blocked over a hundred of those Reddit TTS Minecraft parkour accounts on Tik Tok but they keep showing up on my FYP. How do I make it stop????

[Alex! @a_rodgerz]

When was the last time Meta came up with an original feature/product that didn't involve buying or copying a competitor?

[Alex! @a_rodgerz]

It's interesting that most people considered creative professions like artists and such less likely to have their jobs stolen by AI when in the past few years we've seen (almost) the complete opposite.

[Alex! @a_rodgerz]

I really dislike using Twitter right now but if I have to read a guide on how to use the alternative social media site, Twitter will still probably be kicking around for a while.

[Alex! @a_rodgerz]

Ever since the world cup started, I've begun seeing a bunch of Portuguese memes on my timeline and now I really want to start learning Portuguese.

Despite the awful week for all the employees @Twitter, I'm having a great time watching people react to @birdwatch

[Eddy Burback @eddyburback]

what the hell is this???

[Alex! @a_rodgerz]

@Lucy_Mei_H I mean... It seems like your schedule has cleared up

[Alex! @a_rodgerz]

To everyone who was just laid off @Twitter, you don't have to pretend to be grateful right now. It's ok to be upset. You were treated horribly these past few weeks. You don't always need to #LoveWhereYouWorked

[Alex! @a_rodgerz]

It's crazy just how much everything has changed just a year after working there.

@birdwatch It will be pretty cool to see what happens when this gets more attention.

[Community Notes @CommunityNotes]

Context on Tweets — by the people, for the people — is coming to everyone in the US. It’s open, transparent, and we’ve consistently seen notes be found helpful and informative even by people who often disagree.

[Alex! @a_rodgerz]

Omg not TikTok copying BeReal too.
