I have like three different instance accounts with the same handle - great for days when .world is on the blink. Really happy with the resiliency of the broader federated community.

Their financial instruments are so byzantine and dynamic that probably only one of their quants could tell you. It's probably less than could be hoped, given the level of corruption inherent to the system. Remember that literal crime is profitable even when you get caught, in Wall Street.

He bought it to completely destroy it because it was one of the few big social media platforms that didn't give a distinct advantage to RWNJs.

It's weird to me that this isn't more commonly believed, because his main aim with all this is to make America more oligarchic (i.e. great again) and become an oligarch, as is the fashion among rich white supremacists.

Not to get political.

649, next stop 741.

Is 741 still a thing?

Genuinely gross. They could have built their own community here and acted as leaders, instead they're tightening their grip on a weak power trip.

I attribute the perceived fading momentum has a lot to do with Reddit itself. There's a reason wall street wants a piece of reddit, and it has nothing to do with however profitable "making redditors look at ads" is.

This is why we've caught alien spaceships and they still ain't say hi

I'm so interested, but question one for me is: can you build quickly? I have pretty limited gaming time these days.

Tangentially, does anyone know why we stopped having cool words for different kinds of software? We used to have daemons and wizards. Now everything's an app, and it's lame.

I'm so much happier without it. Having a big number next to your name is such a tired little ego trip

A distant cause is likely the changes in monetary policy (rate hikes). The tech sector has been structuring their capital as if borrowing would always be cheap, and they were unprepared for a sudden flight toward sustainable cash flow.

I think their only hope for "fuck you money" at this point is to cash out at IPO and watch it burn.
