I would be willing to pay someone to briefly explain daily whatever stupid thing Elon did that day to make people finally quit Twitter and come to these other platforms. This is my way of asking someone to summarize what today's final straw was, because I went over there and it looked the same (horrible)
@f1c6c5c3 Yeah, I agree, they're making a mistake. I mean, I might read a few free articles and go this is worth a buck a month. That is actually OUR model. But it's more than a buck.
Mastodon is the only site where a user is guaranteed to gripe about a paywalled article every time. Folks, ads are dead. Subscriptions pay for the journalism and feed our families. A trial sub is cheap. I give away a lot of free links. You can read many with an email (regi-wall is not a paywall). It is easy to get around with research. You do you. Just don’t reply with a complaint or a paywall evasion. It’s kind of rude. I may block you. Move on. Read something else. It’s a big old internet.
Anyway, I now have a covid booster in one arm and a flu shot in the other, and I'm laying as NYC dries out from the storms. I might get a little loopy.. AMA
@b6926f5b Huh. It's not actually a gift link, despite the pic. Some kind of glitch, sometimes happens if the codes are stripped from URL. I'll edit the post, belatedly. Thx
