Making people pay to tweet should be the nail in the coffin for #Twitter; but then again I thought turning it into a glorified Parler would've been that nail already. As they say, the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
@Gargron Are there any recent numbers for Twitter's, or X's, current user base? It seems to have lost some cultural cashe. Maybe that's just from my POV.
We're going to make a #Mastodon plushie and it's going to be very cute! I'll share more details once the prototype is done—the concept art is very promising and our partners at FRESH have a good track record of making plushies 🙂
It started with me opting not to keep smart lights when I moved. I found the routine of pressing physical switches more rewarding than the tap of a touch screen. I've since gotten into vinyl, and film photography. I still stream music, and I still take photos with my iPhone when it's more convenient, but I find the physicality of analog devices uniquely rewarding.
@Gargron Back in the day I loved photographing events with my fully manual OM-1. No auto-focus, just set it for a given focal length and look for shots within that distance. Fun
