  • idk maybe it’s just frivolous thinking, but imo since social media is corrupted by corporate profiteering brought about by venture capitalists, a social media platform that can be scaled and run very cheaply and in a decentralised fashion (think JUST text posts, all media has to be somehow hosted externally) could genuinely succeed, and be BOTH a mainstream place, while also being friendly to its users, and creating a friendly and cozy environment 🤷‍♀️

    ok, then (depending on what kind of consulting you do though) you should know that operating and migrating such a services is a big challenge?

    i’m not even sure what we’re debating: twitter is incurring a lot of hosting charges, and they’re trying to mitigate that…

    can he actually pay twitter’s bills? like, i really don’t know whether he can just directly pay them, corporations aren’t structured like a weekend market i’m assuming

    and even if he could, i’m not sure if it would be sustainable (1bn usd hosting bill sounds very substantial)

    💀💀

    as much as i hate elon musk tho, it is a sort of reasonable strategy in case you’re trying to prevent incurring further hosting charges while you’re migrating 🤷‍♀️

    not sure why he can’t just pay the hosting bill but whatever, that’s secondary i guess
