    Participating in an Elon ran version of Reddit sounds just as fun as being launched into the sun would be

      You think he’s that stupid? He’d launch his rocket at night, of course!

      Come on, give the sun more credit, atleast it’ll be beautiful to look at for a while!

      Absolutely. Beyond shit management, I’ve never seen someone so desperately in love with meme culture who absolutely does not understand humor on any level.

    Twitter communities have been around a good while. As in, I even wrote a search app that found new communities as people created them, and people used my app (and other apps) for about a year or so, and then eventually Twitter added that functionality themselves, so I deprecated my app, and then about year or so later, Elon bought Twitter and communities died from lack of use/ support.

    In other words, this was around for a while before Elon.

    I guess if you were looking for a platform that is run by a large man child, is somehow on shakier ground than Reddit, and will suck then this is good news?

    And on the same day when they fucked up their infrastructure so badly that they had to rate-limit all users. Yeah, okay Elon, you can host my community for me.

    I love how all mainstream platforms keep mimicking each other to become exact copies of one another. I wonder if there was a way for platforms to collaborate with each other and interconnect somehow rather than duplicating efforts by copying all features from all other platforms? 🤔

      Some sort of protocol to publish activity?

        We’ll call it Humongo DBHTML (short for Data Based Hypertext-based Terminator Machine Language), and it can allow Planet Net to plan its planet plans for fixing all the utopia bugs.

    If you go for this your dumber than the average bear. Lest we forget, Twitter pioneered screwing over third party devs, twice! Once back in 2012 and then more recently

    They can’t handle Twitter and they want to reboot reddit?

      Wouldn’t be Elon’s first time.

      I mean I guess they technically take off, there’s just the aftermath …

          Google+ could have been amazing. It did so much right compared to the others.

          No activity whatsoever on it though

            As someone who moderated several G+ communities, it had plenty of activity - spam. For whatever reason Google’s own filters didn’t catch it well and it’d all go to the mods. Also it didn’t have much discussion. Just sharing links and reacting. Got boring real fast.

    I’m part of the F-Zero Twitter community and the most action it gets is from bots that somehow break into the invite only community. (Thanks Elon)

    It’s a cool idea but suffers from the same kind of insulation of discord, which end up running counter to the openness twitter got popular for.

    Haha and to think Spez tried to suck Musk’s dick a week ago during one of his interviews.

    As if the people fleeing reddit’s API lockdown would have any interest in this.

      Most of the people fleeing Reddit are the same people who shit on Musk in r/facepalm.

      Yeah, definitely not going to take off with the leaving Reddit crowd. Might attract current Twitter users through shudders

    The kind of people still left on Twitter are not the people I want to be sharing a reddit-like community with
