       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 “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” 😝

       @Gargron take the offer and go in as a double agent! Recommend basing programmer pay bonus by GOTOs written! Insists that they put everything in the blockchain! Pivot to video!

       @Gargron Just as Internet Explorer was only ever used to download another browser, you could do the same: use W solely as a gateway to bring people into the Fediverse!

       @Gargron Just setup a bot that continually posts that Mastodon is better and people should switch 😜

       @Gargron They basically treat it like Mastodon doesn’t exist or it isn’t designed for the same purpose (and does it better).  I find it perplexing. Bold, but perplexing. I would love to see a greed run corporation get knocked about by a small scrappy non profit

       @Gargron Be nice and invite them back to Mastodon. Maybe ask what is missing on Mastodon so they decided to make a competing product?

       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' .

       @GargronMaybe you should join and post a message thanking them for the personal invitation and the opportunity to post a series of articles detailing the history, development and current usage of Mastodon.

       @GargronIf that quite lame 4th tier auto letter is any indication of the thought and quality of the platform itself than may it be short lived.

       @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...
