You know how people looked at the dumb decisions of #StocktonRush and said don't get in the #Titan ?

Don't get into an #ElonMusk #Tesla or #SpaceX

Based on how much Mastodon is struggling right now, I'm guessing they're getting another boost today, too..

I can't think of any reason one would want to stay on the birdsite any longer. What's the use if you can't have full access to people's posts?

I wonder if reddit, twitter and youtube all got around a table one day and decided that no, actually, screw the users entirely.

Because they are all doing really bizzare things.

Terrible decision from Elon.

Guess Mastodon is gonna get hit by a wave of newcomers...

Crawlers and scrapper bots consume a fuckload of traffic, that much is true. But I think it's a bit too late, there's already enough "twitter warehouse of posts in X language" to feed most AI needs, at least for coming up with short answers.

Also, I can't believe Elon did something that could be generally seen as a good thing overall (forcing people to spend less time on twitter)
