Steve Huffman just following the footsteps of Elon Musk, during a recent interview Spez said he liked what Musk was doing with Twitter.

Twitter has lost 59% of their advertisement sales since Musk bought it.^[1]

Yep, it's really me! I made my first sourced comment the other day about Twitter and Elon Musk.

I made an account on sh.itjust.works because world was having some issues registering new users. Because of this small issue I ended up taking a deep dive into learning about the Fediverse. It's such a cool concept and really easy to use once you familiarize yourself with it.

It's also awesome that instances can federate with one another, so communities can continue to grow! I was apprehensive of making the switch initially due to the presumption that it would require a steep learning curve, but I learned how to access, browse, and interact on lemmy in 15 minutes or less lol.

I keep mentioning it, but the fediverse reminds me of my early days of browsing reddit back in the mid-late 2000s. Lemmy feels like home and I can't wait to see it grow :)

An internet/social media recession, we're truly living in the 21st century.

I'm in a similar position when it comes to sports, football (soccer) in particular. The instances are still new, so I've been trying to engage in the comments and upvoting all the posts. It oddly reminds me of early Reddit when there were far fewer users and it felt more intimate, like you'd know everyone on the sports subreddit lol. I think instance on the Fediverse/Lemmy will continue to grow over time, just keep engaging :)

Thank you talklittle! You made redditing so enjoyable with RiF. I was introduced to your app about a decade ago and never stopped using it. I spent years writing exhaustive and informative comments, none of it would've been possible without the functionality of RiF.

I'm glad to see you on the Fediverse now :)

I used Twitter for all my local updates - from what's happening at city hall to live traffic and weather updates.

What's up with CEO's messing with social media companies. Huffman and Musk seem to enjoy ruining good things :(

It's like they say - birds of a feather flock together
