    Look people are gonna say Elon was always like this but I disagree. There’s a difference between being a major asshole and this kind of insanity.

    We all acknowledge how being terminally online has a huge negative effect on your mental health. We all acknowledge that covid drove a lot of people crazy.

    I’m pretty this happened to Elon. This isn’t a sympathy thing just an observation.

    I think YouTube is in an extremely good position to elevate long form content. The problem is that I have 0 faith in googles management to the point where I’m sure they’ll ruin it eventually.

    I disagree on telegram. It’s never been more relevant. Both Russian and Ukrainians post on them real time involving the war. You could follow the failed coup on Wagner via telegram.

    Conceptually, I think there’s a huge need for a telegram like service that’s more or less free for all parties to broadcast via channels. Obviously there are downsides, but I’d argue the ability to broadcast revolutions real time is worth it.

    The problem is telegram itself isn’t really trustworthy given the Russia connection

      That’s because of the user base, no other reason. And you could follow not that much.

      We are on one of such services now, FFS.

      You don’t have to think that far to say it’s not trustworthy. Just read about its protocol and how its creators are as people.
