Thousands per year, usually.

Watched it again. OK, it got slow for a minute there, but holy shit.

Where he’s walking off at the end screaming “SHAUUUUNNNN” in his totally-fine kid’s ear…

Way better version:

It’s kinda long, but omg does it not stop being funny to me.

Oh man, that glitch video of this is what I thought of instantly

And it still makes me tear up laughing every time I see it.

Close, as in really super close…? One might even say, accurate?

Seems likely to be very low so far.

Although it’s getting enough attention lately that this may change.

They currently have no plans for advertisement.

On what they’re currently planning to bring in money:

That could change at any time, but seems likely to be true for now.

I would guess things will be fine at least up until they either IPO or they get bought by a VC firm or some public corp. That’s the point in the ensuing to fixation cycle to move to something else (unless something unexpected happens like they really do nicely federate before then or something else that may save the platform).

So I’m guessing probably at least a couple years that it’ll be good, and it’s 10000x better than Xitter.

It seems like an article written purely about info in a documentary, with no original investigation (although I could easily see that they tried at least some, but no one answered)

Yeah, he went to the rrainforest so, uh, that’s cool.

Definitely not a playing fiddle while Rome burns kind of thing.

Then why didn’'t he say “western” Virginia? That would have even worked.

Instead he wrote it in a way that 10000% guaranteed that people thought he meant the State.

Currently it’s like the difference between Pepsi - and a soda company which is currently owned by a madman, and is aggressively, publicly trying to poison its customers, and spread Nazi shit and fascism and whatnot.

A little wider gap than you’re saying.

Sure, Pepsi could become that other thing. But it’s not currently.

Why would there be appointments at all…?

but genocide joe or some stupid shit

Does it?

OK, what would they say if they weren’t planning on it?

Maybe there was some special or package deal, but no.

Doesn’t matter. Everyone enjoys their face being eaten. They can blame it on the damn (outgroup) and feel better about themselves. Rage and being better than some other tribe is all that matters anymore.

Since Twitter is currently really really toxic, dangerous, and run by a maniac; and Bluesky currently is not (it’s actually been amazingly non-toxic)…I strongly disagree.

Even shittier anaology, but it’s more like moving from a house that has an active gas leak to a house that has gas pipes in the house. Has potential for leaks, but there aren’t any right now. And it currently has working gas leak detectors.
