yeah

This, it's a tool of outreach, and with some sliver of the people caring about owning their stuff, maybe their new strat of marketing their work as "preservation" will pay off. Or not because nobody actually cares about "owning your games". Still worth a try.

And a blog that they never use correctly. But more seriously, any corp worth the shinetops they fester will attempt a presence across multiple websites. Smarter ones will even tell which way the wind goes and have replaced the buttons down in the corner already.

Gog has a bluesky account? Figures :D Better to be on a site run by Elon (buffoon or no) than one with a member base full of commies, pervs, and commie pervs. Xitter also has way more views and site traffic, making it better for exposing new customers to one's business.

With how that place can be (especially to newcomers), getting banned there is probably more of a godsend :)

I'll take the "commies, pervs, and commie pervs" (probably you think your carpet is communist?) over being on the same platform with Muskrat any day. I'm sorry, please try harder.

(what?)

Many liked it back then because non-approved opinions got censored and those that spoke them got banned. Elon was also considered hip pre-2016, but the hivemind are supposed to dislike him now. I personally don't like or dislike the man, he's just another rich dude I read about online now and then along with all the other crap online.

I don't know about the whole FBI thing, but what I did see of Twitter back then was that it was. Moderated. I like being in a moderated place, not in a toxic wasteland. So that was sort of the charm.

I initially thought Muskrat would just be the new owner, the news cycle would go the rounds, and then business as usual. Twitter's owner changed his name. No big deal. Oh boy I was wrong. Shoved himself into the algorithm so it was near impossible to avoid him even with a block, kept removing the moderation I liked about Twitter to begin with in the name of "muh free smooch", and then censored parody accounts made specifically to make fun of him. When I had enough with Twitter, I deleted the app off my phone and logged out of the browser.

I'd later switch to Mastodon and then Bluesky. They're so much better. All I wanted is to see a feed of people I want to follow and see art, nothing more. Bluesky lets me do that.

(huh?)

Do you have an IQ of 1, or 0? Please let me know.

(hmm?)

I love free smooches! and free hugs! free hugs AND smooches!

Ah, now you're finally saying something that isn't from an IQ of 0 or 1! Instead it's an IQ of 11. (In binary)

My retort to that is I haven't seen any of these cases on my feed so I can't comment. Must be because they're I don't know. Rare, or even made-up knowing "your side" tends to randomly call other people communist at the drop of a hat. If you did see one, go ahead and report it.

(wha?)
