Holy shit, there’s a whole community for this?? Wow. I mean, I COULD post there, but, I’m pretty sure they are aware she exists. So at that point I’m just instigating a search dox party. I was just looking to make a joke to take the piss out of the fact I just got hit twice in the past hour. Actually going through with it seems a bit much. Sorry, I didn’t know that existed.

Wait a second…

I don’t have a reference point for who “owns” pixelfed, or who gets the money. Therefore I don’t have a reference point for if this is a drop in the bucket, or a neverending waterfall of funding.

I thought nobody owned pixelfed. Therefore, wouldn’t each instance owner get the money? Thus making this like “each instance owner gets $5”?

I JUST got 2 of them today. Now I’m thinking it’s because of this thread. I haven’t gotten one since like…September.

Me: reads entire post

I have no idea what’s being discussed here. Are you saying they’re stealing your bank account numbers?

Downvoted. Not because I think reddit is better, but because this is clearly a circklejerk post, and what’s more reddit than THAT???

No good content??? My man!!! Have you not heard of Nicole??? The fediverse chick!!! Watch as she mindlessly smokes a cigerette as she stares blankly at her monitor.

Or you could try Veronica, as she uploads several videos every minute. All about Linux. Nobody knows how she does it…

…you want to digest Nicole?

Maybe the fediverse chick is becoming an expert in aliens?

Even before musk bought it, it was a house of cards. At no point in it’s history since it’s creation has it EVER made money. It was ALWAYS a money loser. That’s why they were trying to sell it in the first place. It had value, but nothing close to 43 BILLION dollars.

It was assumed to sell for a few hundred million before musk ran his mouth, and joked that he’d do it for 43 billion. Then he took the joke as far as signing legal paperwork, then bitched that he HAD to now buy it for his joke price of 43 billion.

And now you read daily how much money it’s losing. Firstly because even if he paid a fair price for it, AND ran it perfectly, it would still be losing money. But he bought it for 43 BILLION dollars, and from day one publically harassed advertisers saying he doesn’t need them.

Well, even under perfect conditions, the advertisers were the only thing keeping twitters losses pre-musk at a minimum. They were losing about 13 million a year since 2008. And now it was adding up.

But now you got advertisers to go fuck themself. And they leave. Then he alienates twitters at the time core leftist by…well existing. And now you got all these people leaving twitter in droves. So now, even for the advertisers that remain, twitters reach loses 40% of it’s value. Which means advertisers aren’t willing to pay old rates. Which means less revenue.

And all these other companies, before musk bought it, looked at an unprofitable social media site, then remembered how MySpace went, and thought “…no.”

She puts out that restraining order on you.

Who said YOU could say words???
