I just hope federal services (like applying for a passport) don't become Twitter-only after Trump appoints Elon as Secretary of Enshittification.

Oof. Poor Americans. The 4 year shit show you're going to have to put up with.
Thing is, mate.....fascists rarely stay inside their boarders. This is going to be the whole world's problem in about 3 months.
Maybe for the rest of our lives, however long that is...
upside: maybe fashism will kill us all before climate does? yay?
With the fascist in power they're going to speed up the climate destruction
So maybe the fascist will kill us with the climate
yay?

4 years if laws and constitution stay the same and are followed.. first term he had people alienated into him who were at least slightly appropriated for their positions, this time people who has nothing to do with their positions are being appointed simply for being loyal to him... Let's see if any of them won't let him do anything drastic within 4 YEARS
Cute that you think it'll only last for 4 years.

You mean head of DOGE? Because we live in the timeline where a terminally online edgelord with the brain of a 14yo and the body of a 54yo makes meme government agencies.
Anyway, get your passport now. They're good for ten years, enough to last at least through the tentative end of Trump's circus.

Bummer that isn’t mastodon but any inconvenience to musk is appreciated
Actually not a bummer in my opinion, let people sort into different platforms based on their interests like we used to do with forums.
A fragmented internet is a better internet
But it's not fragmented. Mastodon is still the odd "vegan" option while BlueSky is becoming the main Twitterlike platform. Mastodon is still coming out the other end mostly the same.

I say this as someone who likes fediverse microblogging (Mastodon, MissKey, etc) it will never be Mastodon. Mastodon and its maintainers are staunchly against all the things that would make it a viable replacement to Twitter.

Why people cannot see that the core problem of twitter is not that it got bought by the asshole billionaire. It's that the asshole billionaire was able to buy it.
Wasn't he forced to do so after trying to back out, or am I either imagining that or thinking of someone else?
If I recall correctly he could have backed out but he would have had to pay I think 1billion as a penalty and worse admit things didnt go his way

Let's replace one proprietary service with another. It looks so good with its API wide open, like it's never getting enshittified.
It’s obvious to me that we need to have laws to enforce portability of data and interoperability for large platforms.

X will likely merge with TruthSocial as the defacto Conservative/Right-wing social media site (named something dumb like "XTruthXSocialX"), while BlueSky will become the defacto Liberal social media site.

I suspect it will only because every single furry on YouTube seems to be trying to get the entire fandom to move from Twitter to BlueSky. You know we run the internet.

99% of my Feed on Bluesky was just people saying they've left Twitter for Bluesky. No amount of suggest less of this helped.
happens on every "new" social media platform that is similar to another social media platform. Was all over Lemmy when people were "boycotting" reddit...course most went right back to reddit when the boycotting was over.

Ha ha ha, yeah, sure. Bluesky won't defeat xitter, at best it'll just be the "next thing" once xitter finally finishes getting rid of most of its users, which I guess will take more than 4 years from now.

I've started removing trash sites. I blocked twatter and reddit at my router.
