Elon keeps firing people and shutting down parts of the Twitter network and the Fediverse grows each day with new servers popping up managed by self-employed admins :blobcatgiggle: The more people 'invest' in Twitter the smaller it gets, every cent to free open source software only makes it better and grow :ed_grin: Plus... at the end of the day you can literary download what you pay for :blobcathighfive: :fediverse: #Fediverse #Twitter #Mastodon #FOSS

"It's only 8 bucks a month" he says but what he doesn't get is that not everyone has 8 bucks a month to spare for (optional) social media :nkoFacepalm: 8 bucks doesn't seems like a lot but it can make the difference for a lot of people Elon. Not everyone is a billionaire and can throw money into the blender Stop making stuff "pay to win" it's unfair.Paying / donations should always be optional and only accepted when you can really miss it❤️Don't feel pressured! Life goes first :cathug:

@stux It also amounts to a variation of Poll Tax if only some users' votes are considered because of it.

@stux To start paying this in the future for something people are also going to find for free/cheaper/better in another place is the neck shot for the big blue bird that is now wing lame and dying

@stux A paid for blue tick undermines the relevance of the concept. It can lead to impersonation on a much higher scale.

@stux he just charges those people who need a checkmark, doesn't he?Imagine you could pay 8 bucks to get a badge on a marketplace. Everyone would now start thinking you are super important although nothing has changed.If you can't afford to spend 8 bucks, elon doesn't want the money of people who can't afford it. He just charges those who seek attention.

@stux also the $8 offers a bunch of theoretical, not yet implemented featurse. look at the graphic for it - everything is "coming soon" except for longer videos

@stux this is the avocado toast of their well if you just stopped paying so much for avocado toast you could afford a house, and the result is yet another platform where voices are financially tiered. Which is his intent because letting the poor be heard as loudly as anyone makes billionaires very uncomfortable.

@stux This is why Elon Musk and Trump are essentially allies and why I love, love, LOVE what they contribute so much! Brave folks willing to accomplish the impossible… for once.
