And a fine job you do sir and very thankful for it. Just catching up on the happenings of the last week, and excited to read your latest on Substack.

Platform scalability is and will always be terrible for the social media end user experience. Most of the issues I see is the lack of real time interaction like we had with IRC. A user shouldn’t be able to jump into a conversation on their lunch break 6 hours later because they see a post they don...

Hi Matt, hope you are enjoying the morning sun here in LA!!

Each service is going to have its own character. There may be a place for "platforms" like Notes, Locals and Twitter but decentralized services are badly needed.

They came after you hard for Twitter files but don’t hide—come here for the quiet—stay there for the engagement 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hey Matt, just throwing this out there….a semi-autobiographical book accounting the lead up, revelations and aftermath of your Twitter/Musk experience would make for a very interesting read, and a thoughtful Christmas present 😉

I am right there with you Matt. I have been on twitter a very long time, it is a important source of news, but with the plethora of trolls, bots, and seemingly much more angry people in general. I am always wrestling with the benefit vs reward ratio. I speak only for myself, as I only have been on...

People have trained to trust their silos and truth doesn’t matter to most. I spend a little defending you and TF. People’s arguments and spun descriptions to trash you. They just repeat the same stuff. I’ve been following you off and on since ‘04. Right now your podcast is the only news I fo...

Ça me touche beaucoup je valide avec un Grand A 😍

Def remember a few mornings coming down off acid while my roommate and I would take turns reading aloud articles from the exile and the great shark hunt. Ames signed a copy of my roommates book with “stay mean” and I think that fits rn. The paranoid side of me thinks the CIA is gonna dose you wi...

So very true. I keep using it but I feel forced by some social pressure to maintain it. Slowly starting to not give a F 😅

People seem to go on twitter with the intention to pick fights and read things in the least charitable way possible. At one point one could read twitter replies and get some value from them, but nowadays it's just an endless stream of attempts at "sick burns".

I hope you are right , your job is very important for a lot of people

Hi Matt, same with me. Just got my other Twitter account suspended because I sent a DM to a person. I should authenticate my account with a phone number. No, I will not do that. Rather switch to Nostr...

So long as you have the great RSS feed and comments section at Substack, I'm 👍
