It's the third time I am receiving what I can only generously assume to be an automated e-mail from #WSocial trying to convince me, the original founder (and still active advisor and proponent) of one of their competitors, to start posting on their platform.

@Gargron They are using the term "creator" rather loosely.

@Gargron 😆 such an email deserves a response, something like:
Short answer: no
Long answer: never
All caps answer: ARE YOU CRAZY!? 😆

@Gargron the real wtf is that they think mentioning the ECB, vd Leyen and Lagarde is some sort of draw to their platform. -

@Gargron “Hey, Claude, give me a list of the top 10 Mastodon users by followers and interactions, and write an email for them inviting them to post on WSocial on the appropriate category according to the content of their posts. Make no mistakes” 😝

I've seen some weird changes to reddit. They seem to be removing community threads that can get them in trouble. I feel the implosion from trickle down insanity and being afraid of what's getting clamped down next. VPN is already on the move out.
The fuckin' times they are achangin' .

@Gargron I generally consider "follow your work" without indicating what any of that work might involve means that the sender had someone compile a list of the top-N posters by volume...
