Twitter falling out of the tree

[_V_]

Anyone understand WTF Mastodon is?

It's for neck beard types.

Can you imagine living in a dystopian future where someone is rich enough to buy an entire social network just so they can post what they want without getting banned?

I'm buying ContractorUK, will bring back russell and kandr, both de-platformed by the mods.

I created an account yesterday. it's a bit confusing the way it's set up with different servers, but I suppose I will get used to it

They can do pretty good targeted ads on twitter based on the inherent design, so this presumably means you are interested in dodgy stuff (or are browsing it logged out). I think most of mine are crypto related as I use twitter to follow news in that area, though I don't really notice them to be honest.

I'm always on incognito mode when browsing social media, most ads are totally irrelevant for me

It is to Twitter what Git is to TFVC, sort of. Multiple servers using a shared protocol, there is no central DB or server. Each server can have its own rules on how people can act and how it interacts with other servers. Your account lives on your chosen server so if the random person running it turns the server off, you're not there any more.

The only ads I see on Twitter are for clickbait websites where you have to go to 20 pages of advertisements to find out that what they promised in the title is not there

I have the same issue from those adverts in telephone boxes ... bloody rip off!
