Dear fellow devs,
When you invest in a surveillance capitalist like Twitter & help them build their platform by making apps for them, using their APIs, etc., know that they’ll have your back. And by that I mean they’ll throw you under the bus the first chance they get.
We’ve all made the mistake at one time (heck, I made both a Twitter & Facebook app using their APIs and thought I was helping build the “open web” ‘cos I trusted Tim O’Reilly).
Just avoid it next time.
Strawmen are the most common fallacy, also the easiest to avoid. LISTEN & BE CHARITABLE.
Why is the left trying to be "moderate" / "center"? These aren't desirable or correct. It shows you are willing to compromise what you believe in. The right wing in political office (USA) never compromises. They play dirty, smear, strawman, etc. You can't compromise with them. They only get everything they want and more. Obamacare was just an individual mandate which was originally proposed by Reagan. IT'S A CONSERVATIVE POLICY!!! And they still blamed Obama for it's failures. #medicare4all

@Gargron They're useful when joining Mastodon for the first time. I remember them being super useful when I first joined Mastodon but then they disappeared :(
When trying to think like a Microsoft executive running Github imagine that you are lazy and money-grabbing and are narrowly self-interested in your own proprietary software. From that perspective, anything other than your own software is either good PR or something you can monetize somehow.
FOSS projects like the ones I had on Github add nothing to Microsoft's bottom line and so they will try to monetize or push out that type of thing.
Hey @Gargron, do you have a sort of "toolkit" of usual reasons why popular twitters should join Mastodon, usual answers and complaints regarding Mastodon? Is there a group working on that?
Ah, yes, the three genders.
PC, Mac and Linux.
What a gem
