Chris Hessertchessert@mastodon.onlineOct 12, 2026, 3:18 PMI had no idea who John Gruber was, until this morning. I still don't know his significance (if any), and can't be bothered to find out. Why?
If you're shilling for Musk, I don't need any part of you, or what you pretend to offer. None at all.
I like it right here :mastodon:
I will not be returning to Twitter/X
Matt Hall401matthall@mastodon.xyzOct 12, 2026, 7:18 PM"But the bigger problem is that there’s little action on Bluesky or, especially, Mastodon. [...]but it certainly isn’t what most people are looking for in a Twitter-like posting platform. They want action. The action is on X."
Eww. That's fucking gross and I would happily suggest the craving of whatever the hell Gruber thinks "action" is, in fact, is a programmed response to stimulus used by media agencies to monetize your time.
Again... Eewwww. That's fucking gross, man.

Don't sell that shit to me and tell me it's fudge.
Lost my mind.
Doesn't even bother to support the "lost their minds" statement. Literally just makes the claim and walks back over to X for his _action_.
Gross, dude. Fuck outta here with that.

"If you returned from exile on a desert island and took a look at X today for the first time in a year, you might reasonably guess that Elon Musk got bored and sold it while you were away. I do think he got bored micromanaging it, but the rank muskiness that permeated the platform after he took over is — for now, at least — gone."
_I don't see Elon's posts anymore so it's all better. I never really wanted to be away. I'M SORRY I LEFT!_
Dude, have some self-respect.
