@hugo And then it would only connect to servers that gave it money, and the execs would be like, "Look, everyone! We created a business model! That was the plan the whole time!"

@hugo They probably won't, because they're creating the #AT protocol w/ #Bluesky.However, if #ElonMusk shuts down #BlueSky, I'd expect to see former #Twitter employees to do something #ActivityPub-related

@hugo I suspect most mastodon instances couldn't support the volume of traffic if they were getting federated tweets

@hugo I suspect most mastodon instances would crash under the volume of tweets...

@hugo Yes, Musk had federation (didn't say which protocol) in his concept for Twitter's evolution. (Can't find the article, the search results are swamped with recent events.)

@realcaseyrollins @hugo #elonmusk can't shut down #bluesky. They are an independent entity. #twitter funded them but does not have say over what they do.

@n6mac41717 @hugo While that's technically true, I wonder how long it can last without #Twitter's funding.Granted I do suspect that #JackDorsey is supporting #bluesky and it was end up being the new social media website he's cooking up

@n6mac41717 @realcaseyrollins @hugo Dorsey and Jack are in cahoots. Blue sky will replace Twitter in a couple years. It’s not a competing app; it’s an overhaul. The intent is to make a platform out of wall street’s hands (Musk’s takeover did that) then remake the platform into something that gives them more power to control the narrative. This was never about money, it’s about the control of media and information.

@brokenpotato @n6mac41717 @hugo Hmm. Speculative, but interesting.

@realcaseyrollins @n6mac41717 @hugo Jack and Musk are friends and Jack retained his stake in Twitter, aka helped musk buy it. They are absolutely working together without speculation as well share the same ideologies of longtermism. It’s some sinister shit but not new. It’s the same reason Bezos bought the Washington Post.

@brokenpotato @n6mac41717 @hugo We haven't seen any evidence that they're doing anything together.

@realcaseyrollins @n6mac41717 @hugo We absolutely have. The fact that Dorsey helped Musk buy Twitter by retaining his stake, ie investing, is working together. Their close friendship and shared ideologies are not a secret.
