Despite my misgivings, I'm gonna give Mastodon a shot. Shoutout to @jeremyckahn for finding a server I think I can live with. You can find me at @[email protected]. I'll go shout into that void for while instead of this one. Might be back.
@lucasbuick This happened in 2015 when I (we?) still kinda believed that. Anytime theres no obvious revenue model and a centralized platform, stuff just goes south. It's too bad the UX with mastodon is so ๐ฉ. This would be its moment but normies aint gonna learn what "federated" means. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Letโs be clear that this is an absolutely unhealthy and toxic way of working as thereโs no real reason to do so.
This is not a startup running out of money, about to go bankrupt if not for this manic sprint.
Itโs the worlds richest person doing this because he can. So he does.
@jeremyckahn I heard someone say once that every productivity system is competing with emailing yourself stuff. That said, @todoist is my secret weapon. Can't live without it. Send everything to it.
Lets stop acting like mastodon is going to replace twitter here folks. I work in tech and can't figure this shit out. No one knows or cares what "federated" or "decentralized" means. Until they fix this garbage UX its DOA.
Today is my last day at Deep 6 AI. Its been an incredible 3 1/2 years and I learned so much and worked w/ the best team and mission I could have asked for. I'm taking some much needed time off and then starting my new role as a tech lead. Details on all that coming soon.
