Twitter cannot exist without a team of developers and engineers to keep it running 24/7 and I have a feeling Elon will soon realise this if he hasn't alreadyIf I see how much work (love it though) it brings to only support ~100K people on a platform I don't wanna know the resources Twitter needs.. But the beauty of the #Fediverse is that I'm not doing it alone, not even by a long shot. It's more like every Fedi server admin out there is working for the fedi for free❤️ Haha, even paying for it

@stux yes, indeed. the new internet era Web3 would prove that decentralization is better than centralization, communities are stronger than companies.

@stux most of the people he is sacking are BS jobs like HR and diversity officers. Engineers still there.

@stux I subscribed to your patreon because I appreciate the work you’re doing. Would you be willing to post data regarding the costs and fees of maintaining the servers as new users join? I think the transparency will help people understand the costs associated (not to mention the time spent) and encourage more users to donate. Thanks again!

We don't 'work' for money but do it as a passion for you! :blobcathearts: A way of contributing a little to a better use of the internet 💪 Yesterday 3 words stuck in my head that still are a little weird in my view: "social media company". It's what Twitter, FB and many others call themselfs but somehow the word "company" does not fit there somehow. Social media shouldn't be a business but more like a public service. I mean even our government uses Twitter for giving out information, dafaq.

@stux You do a fabulous job. And I appreciate your hard work & dedication. If everyone contributed a few dollars each month to help you out. It would help you with the costs.

@stux If there's anything us users can do to help other than just donating money, like donating time/resources, I think a lot of people would be interested. I'm loving the #Fediverse , and this instance specifically, and I'd love to help it grow/be maintained without having to create my own instance. You're doing a fantastic job, but none of us want you to be overwhelmed and overworked :blobcatbigfan:

@stux well, a company can offer a public service. It depends on how healthy the market is. If a company plays in a free market system with rules and compating with other companies they will offers good prices and quality "public" services as they proffit off of the business.Monopolies and corporatism are symptoms of a sick marketplace as they prefer profits more than quality, fair prices, etc.

@stux It isn’t just that. For Twitter to operate it needs lawyers and public relations and advertiser relations and a payroll department and so on and on and on. Without those things, it cannot run.And it might well be raided by the authorities one day, if it keeps this up.

@stux that is correct. But governments also use television stations, newspapers, and other media run by companies that make money from them to disseminate their information. Commercial enterprises, for example media, can also establish their own instances in the Fediverse, by the way. In principle, this is not objectionable.

@stux I do think there should be a public utility with a similar function as social media, but I worry how that would work in practice with how volatile our government (at least in the US) is these days. Some way to insulate it from politics would be absolutely necessary. Our public media, such as it is, often winds up a target when those with a more authoritarian bent are running things. Definitely appreciate all that you're doing and I am more than happy to help how I can through Patreon!

@stux Elon just shoved the knife in further. He asked Twittville if he should bring Trump back.He did this because of Garlands decision yesterday. Read the tea leaves.. Trumps on the way back.
