Telegram was already a piece of shit platform, and now, it's become even shittier, if that was even possible.
Everyone should have seen stuff like this coming from Telegram years ago.
Elon Musk's xAI pays Telegram $300M to integrate Grok.

"The #NYTimes found three #farright users in #X — Anatasia Maria Loupis, Laura Loomer and Owen Shroyer — who fell out with #Musk in December, only to see the reach they had on the #socialplatform practically disappearing overnight."
Wow, groundbreaking revelation: #AI still requires human intervention! 
Who knew that a social platform isn't built by waving a magic wand and expecting code to write itself? 
Verdi's wife learns that software engineering might just require some, you know, engineering.

Of course, you do realize that I want the original #SpaceJam #Website to have at least a couple of posts using the #ActivityPub protocol, preferably one by @BugsBunny@SpaceJam.com that says:
"Michael sure can play! But everyone's distracted by Lola..."
And maybe some homage to Tex Avery, if he wasn't a complete monster.
In any case, you get my point. It's not actually a #SocialPlatform, a #Service, or any kind of #platform at all. The web just got a jungle telegraph. Have at it, Hoss.

Interesting.
A private photo-sharing app on the Fediverse.
Basically a Pixelfed like but where all accounts are private.
I don't like putting private things on the internet, but I may give it a try.

#Bluesky's stormy day:
How its explosive growth led to inevitable #outages
The swift expansion of the #X rival reveals the urgent need for #decentralized #infrastructure to ensure a scalable, user-owned #socialplatform.
It's funny how a #Chinese ran #socialPlatform is pushing #Trump content like nothing else.
You'd think that since the #US is the nemesis of #China that they wouldn't want to embolden the US.. that is, unless they think Trump will be good to them.
That, and #TikTok is a social media company only concerned with engagement - no matter what type of engagement that is.
But, still.
The #AndreessenHorowitz-backed platform launched in a closed beta in November 2022, but now it’s set to shutter “within the next few weeks.” It serves as a #SocialPlatform that also offers users ad-free access to #Paywalled content from publishers such as Fortune, Business Insider, Wired, The Boston Globe, and others. #SocialMedia
#Twitter alternative #PostNews is shutting down

A little while ago, a user with many followers (whom I have been interacting with for over a year, when the topics are interesting) joyfully shared about the recent increase in Fediverse users. I responded that I'm afraid we will unfortunately lose many of them (as has happened before) because the lack of an algorithm can destabilize those who are accustomed to it. My comment, as I usually do, was meant constructively. The person called me a troll (thus not recognizing me, even though they usually remembered who I was in our interactions) and blocked me. Now I read that many new users are being "pressed" by long-time users who claim to teach them (Mastosplaining?). Is this wonderful wave of new users getting to the heads of many long-time users? The Fediverse is about plurality. If you want strict rules and to be kicked out for disagreeing, there are other social platforms. 
@csdummi @fediversenews as much as I like #Mastodon I haven't seen any other #SocialPlatform so obsessed with what's going on on other social platforms.

CW: This could be a case for Mulder and Scully
Long rant, gender, "toxic masculinity", society, misanthropy, negative.
Its been a whole two days and yet the story of #Trump, (everyone's favourite whipping post) engaging in #softwareTheft to build his #socialPlatform is not being exposed.
Why is this not plastered all over the place.
They much #advertised in the #mainstreamPress only one day prior Trump's foray into the space.
Why suddenly the crickets?
