title: lnxw48a1: I was thinking about the news that Elon Musk plans to launch #X / #Twitter peer-to-peer payments this year. If he's not willing and able to allow the company to meet regulator requirements, they will find it very difficult to get banks to allow their system to connect to the existing financial system. And that means people will have to buy some sort of in-game tokens or something. This does not necessarily mean a #cryptocurrency token. I don't imagine he would enjoy the "visible to the world" nature of most cryptocurrency transactions. It could be something more like "Linden dollars" in Second Life or the Fortnite in-game currency (I occasionally buy a gift card for it then send the card to my grandson #A1).

I personally think the writer has the wrong point. #Facebook isn't good. Its attraction is "everybody I know is on Facebook" and not any of its half-baked features. Therefore, multiprotocol / multi-network federated social is important to dethroning #corpocentric #socnets like XTwitter ( #x.com / #twitter ) and Meta's Facebook & #Instagram. We need bridges to connect #Nostr, the #OStatus and #ActivityPub fediverses, #Diaspora, #Farcaster, #Bluesky's #ATProto, etc. Or we need instances that speak all of the above protocols / languages. I feel this writer's exuberence will turn out to be fantasy, mostly because of misunderstanding what keeps people in the walled gardens and what it will take to free them.

title: hypolite: So, what episode are we at with the #Twitter Blue Checkmark saga? Here's the rough timeline as I understand it: Before Elon Musk: Checkmark is attributed discretionarily, mainly to prevent impersonation. After Elon Musk: Twitter Blue subscription is introduced that grants the checkmark. Impersonation immediately ensues. Twitter answers by preventing Checkmark accounts from changing their display name. Checkmark is divided in three colors: Gold for companies, Blue for individuals, Grey for government. Checkmark is derided for being bought out. As a response Twitter Blue subscribers ask for their checkmark to be hidden. Prominent accounts (like Beyoncé) lose their checkmark. Prominent accounts that kept their checkmark (like Ron Perlman) defend themselves from claims they have subscribed to Twitter Blue.Am I missing anything? Even twitterisgoinggreat.com can't keep up with the madness.

title: lnxw48a1: @clacke I was here in 2009, so it was still early days, but apparently not as early as it felt. For example, the former Twitter employee who created some of the standards that Identica and StatusNet used (including at least one that Mastodon still uses) was unknown to me. I remember hearing about #Twitter plans to federate with #Identica, but I was not aware that they had sent at least one message across networks before deciding to go toward the walled garden model.

title: lnxw48a1: This "WeChat does everything" idea sounds similar to what App dot Net was trying to do. If I recall correctly, ADN was supposed to be a support layer where different things could ride atop. They built their microblogging thing and I think there were a few alpha products being built, but they ran out of funds. I think partly because their biggest product was the microblogging site, and it was mostly a smaller and paid version of #Twitter ... it is hard to gain enough paying customers for the same thing that a larger zero-price competitor offers. So let's say Twitter goes 100% paid, will they still be the world's leading source for news and information? I cannot answer, but I don't expect to be among their customer base.

title: lnxw48a1: https://sixcolors.com/link/2023/01/the-end-of-the-twitter-client-era/ [sixcolors com] I remember using 3rd party clients to access #Twitter. There was the commandline #TTYtter, the #Flock browser's built-in social client, and many others. As Twitter added ads andspewed tons of #JavaScript, leading to a "jumping and twitching" interface that would move underneath your mouse pointer and cause mis-clicks, and as it took 5-10 minutes after logging in for the page to fully load, it was clients that made the site tolerable. There was the "OAuth-pocalypse", when they required all clients to use OAuth (v2?) and it intermittently failed for a few weeks. Then came the day when clients and other API uses "that substantially reproduce" the Twitter UI were notified that their days were numbered. I remember @evan telling them that Identica and other StatusNet instances had a similar API ... but few, if any, clients came over. Most just shut down. Hilariously, there was a trivially reproducible social ranking thing that was cited as an example of the kind of API uses Twitter considered interesting and allowable. There were other, lesser bumps in the road, but as Twitter had already strangled most of its client ecosystem, I did not pay attention.

But come on, there are folks who really believe this is going to replace, or even stand alongside Twitter, as a massively scaled social network? I call bullshit. While it’s impressive that millions of users have apparently given Mastodon a try, the product is far too slapdash and clunky to keep folks engaged. A lump of coal. No, it isn't meant to be a #Twitter replacement. Keep your Twitter account until you no longer want it--or the company closes and the site shuts down--you can use Mastodon alongside Twitter.

Largely because signing up was and is so comically obtuse — pick your server everyone, hope you choose wisely! Have you not used e-mail? It works the same way.

Jack Dorsey can talk about how this should have been what Twitter was from the get go until he’s bluesky in the face. It’s just not going to happen.

George Takei is a celebrity actor. That people are crawling after actors and other celebs means that the #Twitter migration is bringing their culture (with all its flaws) here.
