@goatsarah @guiltmanager I feel like I'd have to have an actual proper conversation with him to really get an idea, not that I relish that prospect.

@goatsarah @guiltmanager The stupid thing is I think charging for an enhanced account tier would have been fair (cf. YouTube Premium). It's the ridiculous practice of categorising said accounts as 'verified'.

@goatsarah @guiltmanager I wish people wouldn't delude themselves that Elon Musk is stupid. He's a nasty, arrogant, probably evil individual who gets a bit manic sometimes but collectively dismissing him as stupid when he wields so much influence and power and disturbing ideological notions on how to (ab)use it is extremely dangerous.

@goatsarah @peterbutler Yes. I hadn't seen that design before but it feels like they have gone with 1960s/70s design rather than something more modern (Tennant) or just odd.

@me @VE2UWY That instance can however just refuse to federate with others and if it gets to critical mass it will be difficult to escape. In a sense that's not too dissimilar to how Big Tech social media operates now by restricting interoperability and limiting what you can do with the APIs.
