     @dekkzz76 @shelenn @deadbeef I fully agree. My predictions:

     1. Twitter will stay the dominant media-fed and media-driven social platform at least in the US.
     2. Bluesky won't make it. Investors will soon realize that it is a scam, nothing else.
     3. The Fediverse will grow slowly and organically. More from Europe than other parts of the world.
     4. #Mastodon will blow up because all its major instances will be hit by a simultaneous multi-day spam bot attack leading to Amazon #AWS blocking all traffic to&from Mastodon instances and there is nothing they can do about it because Eugen was busy implementing #Twitter UX into Mastodon Mobile Apps
     5. The Emacs.ch instance will move to a self-developed #CommonLisp fork of Mastodon (with a Non-Mastodon logo due to a trademark feud) that employs AI algorithms from the PAIP book, get's rid of all #JavaScript (because it is non-free) and is mainly used by users of the #mastodonEL #Emacs package
     6. Its operator will launch a second donations page begging for money to be able to buy two expensive #LispWorks HobbyistDV licenses because lispm from Reddit told him that this unparalleled, magical Lisp productivity is only gained with a superior IDE
     7. There will be heated discussions between factions of the Common Lisp and the Emacs Elisp community about their Lisp being the better, faster and "most free" one
     8. @amszmidt will chime in and do another "Emacs Lisp is not a Lisp - Bite me" post which generates so much traffic that the Emacs.ch instance will blow up in flames and its operator will eventually convert to a #Microsoft fanboy running an ancient fork of #FidoNet written in Omicron Pascal (but converted to #Delphi), hosted on a WinXP machine with IIS and #SQLServer2008.

     End of story.

     Can't see it happening, the vast majority of twitter users left don't care what musk does, it has critical mass so unless it breaks completely they won't move

     @alexshendi @glitzersachen @louis @dekkzz76 @shelenn @deadbeef I have the CADR on a FPGA, not sure how much closer I can get than that ...

     @amszmidt @glitzersachen @louis @dekkzz76 @shelenn @deadbeef

     You could run the DOS version of #Medley #Interlisp on it. That's about as close to running Lisp on the bare metal, as you can get with low effort.

     @louis @dekkzz76 @shelenn @deadbeef What? Emacs Lisp is definitely Lisp. But we all know how Mastodon will win, that is by running on a #LispMachine. That is the only way Mastodon can have free users ...

     @amszmidt @glitzersachen @louis @dekkzz76 @shelenn @deadbeef But the Unix motto is "Everything is a Lisp file." I understand they've censored part of it lately.

     EDIT: Nobody trusts a Windows Emacs user. 😜
