    This is fine.

    Let him break Elon’s market lock, we’re probably too techy to do it ourselves. Once the market is split between the two of them, it reduces the core value of twitter, which partly depends on population.

    That creates a better opportunity for us, it’ll be easier to pull from two smaller services than one larger one. Let’s just make sure we don’t get lost and forgotten, so keep talking about our “new idea” from time to time. Places asides here. irl is ideal.

        Double Arch BTW. Feels great!

        Does Rust count as the Arch Linux of programming languages? If so, you can put me down for a triple.

        Lol come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve had a single irl conversation about Lemmy. Online is a different story, but that was really localized between here and the… other place.

          The first time someone asks me if I’m a lemming, I’m most likely going to be deeply offended.

          When I joined reddit 12 years ago it was the same with that site. Reddit was basically the place where nerds hung around

          I gave you all the ingredients of a shit-tier self-deprecating joke. Go compile it yourself.
