As I predicted in the Fall of 2022 Elon will make Twitter into Parler. As of now it feels like it’s at about 50% complete on that. With Facebook/IG’s Threads app banning searches on coronavirus it’s tabloid/pop-entertainment mission can’t be relied on either regardless of web app. This leaves me back to AP as the viable way forward, but its UX really needs a lot of work and more so the renter comforts need habit change to owning your own place online so we’re back toward the blogging days paradigm more than we’ve ever been... hopefully wiser now.

Micah, minor clarification: I took my account private a c ouple of months ago for many of the reasons laid out in this excellent post. Influx of Nazis. Musk's malevolence. Etc. I remain ambivalent about surrendering social capital forever. And I'm curious (but not particularly optimistic) about using Musk's 44B toy against him and licksplittle tech bro circle.
