Unite them.

Thanks for the heads up! You can already see the full name when you transfer fiat to a revtag but with this change they don't even have to interact with you.

Going to be in Osnabrück, Berlin, Prague and Bucharest in May-June.

Say hello if you’re around ☺️

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

I’m not convinced any single platform will eclipse Twitter at its peak (for intellectual/issues discussions), but I think that’s a good thing.

Forums were always topic focused - you could get together with other folks interested in the same thing as you and chat.

Communities should be communities, not one huge pot where everyone’s shoved together - that’s just a recipe for people to dunk on each other instead of actually sharing ideas. Short posts in social-media-byte-sized takes don’t convince anyone of anything, you need a primed audience and long form posts.

Not having An Algorithm helps - you follow who you want to see and create your own community, but that leaves something lacking - missing a broader narrative.

Reddit tried it with subreddits, but the format wasn’t conducive to great discussion either.

With Telegram (and discord) we’ve seen a return to small communities (via Group Chats, which I’m told are especially popular with The Youths).

nostr/mastodon have strongly self-selected for certain communities, and to some extent those still active on Twitter have as well.

I dunno the future or what to do with it, but there seems to be a real trend towards smaller communities, it means more groupthink but also much more relaxed environment where ideas can be shared with less friction.
