    I am not planning to launch the first open registration public instance until every !fnetworks #GNU_Social instance is running version 2.0+, so #Federati Networks may miss this next wave of #Twitter refugees.

    The chaotic situation at home has meant that I’ve delayed the planned upgrades again.

    A #Twitter whistleblower's report, while seemingly favoring #Musk's claims, seems to provide more detailed support to Twitter's claims instead.

    Even before this, I would not be surprised if Elon Musk's legal team told him to prepare to purchase Twitter or to pay them enough money to make the lawsuit go away. I would guess that's why https://nu.federati.net/url/287488 [www cnbc com] happened.

    In regard to the #Twitter vs #Musk legal action, Musk's claims about spam are irrelevant.

    > Either way, note that the supposed breach of this clause (which again, does not appear to have actually been breached) is what the attempted termination, and thus the lawsuit, is actually about. Musk has to show that he requested information that was necessary for completing the deal and that Twitter didn’t give it to him.

    > Twitter just has to show that (1) it gave him what he asked for and (2) anything it didn’t give him either didn’t exist or in Twitter’s estimation was either not necessary for consummating the deal or could be abused by Musk.

    > Note that “how much spam is on the platform” doesn’t even remotely play into any of this.

    @lxo I have not seen the context, but if you've seen #Soapbox, you'll see AP #Fediverse software that imitates #Twitter misfeatures in an attempt to make the network familiar and popular.

    I think many of the Fediverse's biggest irritants are such misfeatures applied where they do not fit.

    They started out as part of #Twitter, but I'm not sure whether they are still corporately related, nor whether T would ever wind up adopting BS's federation protocol.

    @lxo I think #Musk's offer was more than the company is worth, so they fear shareholder lawsuits if they don't pursue it.

    I also think they're going to get billions of dollars out of him in order to let him walk away. In turn, if someone else wants to buy, the new buyer will have to pay for the fact that #Twitter will have X billion dollars in the bank.

    This is another sign that Elon Musk is not suited to run any publicly traded companies. Investors could try to sue over his implied promise not to sell more stock if the price tumbled as a result of this sale.

    Elon #Musk finally backs out of the deal to purchase #Twitter, citing unresolved questions about #bots and #spammers.

    > "I'd say Twitter is well-positioned legally to argue that it provided him with all the necessary information and this is a pretext to looking for any excuse to get out of the deal," said Ann Lipton, associate dean for faculty research at Tulane Law School.

    Now, I don't know whether this person has expertise in contract law and has read the agreement, so I cannot guess as to the result of the legal battle that will come out of this.

    > In a filing, Musk's lawyers said Twitter had failed or refused to respond to multiple requests for information on fake or spam accounts on the platform, which is fundamental to the company's business performance.

    > "Twitter is in material breach of multiple provisions of that Agreement, appears to have made false and misleading representations upon which Mr. Musk relied when entering into the Merger Agreement," the filing said.

    I did find less garbage pushed when I tried Tweetdeck, but "50 columns mode" still has unwanted content, while missing some wanted content.

    I went to the main #Twitter site recently and spent the whole time cicking "show less of this" (in my case, it was any post someone I follow had 'liked' and also random posts by unknown people). I had the feeling that there is an infinite pool of garbage waiting to be pushed in front of my eyes.

    I really hate the site so much because they fill my timeline with so much unrequested garbage that I cannot even judge whether the people I'm following are still worth it.
