Mastodon socials?

The demise of Tw@tter can't come quick enough for me. Myspace rules! 
They could use the forums, unlikely I know but they could.

Frontier are already on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. I doubt they're want to manage another social media channel unless they have to.
You see you made a mistake, you said "another" when you should have said "replacement", that makes all the difference!
Rumour has it Twitter may not last out the weekend.......
It's not like FDev lacks ways to express themselves.
And regarding Twitter, i'd be starting to get worried one week after it shuts down (as seeing things from FDev's perspective as in: their business does not really depend on twitter, sure it may benefit from it, but in no way depends on twitter)

That was the rumour last week too.Rumour has it Twitter may not last out the weekend.......
Though I plan on riding the Twitter wave until Musk eventually throws us all head first into a cliff and we and it dies, an alternative that's not owned by another malevolent billionaire (Zuck) would be nice...
See that was premature, in fact my original assessment was a couple of months, things are hating up now.
Maybe they won't have to manage Twitter much longer.
Considering the news this morning that a number of the employees that were not laid off have chosen to accept the three weeks severance pay and then walk out, I just have to wonder how many people are going to be left to actually run this thing.
I think they’re down to about 200ish employees from around 7000 (IIRC), so not a lot.
So it sounds like they'll have at least the janitorial staff available to clean up after everybody's gone.
Assuming Elon lets them back in the office.
Apparently he'll let the janitorial staff in on Monday, considering the fact that someone has to clean the executive toilet and empty the trash under his desk. Those kind of things always need someone to do that.
Unless Mr Musk is going to start doing those jobs himself.
Mastodons are coming in the "big game hunting" expansion in 2037.
It's not obviously a good replacement for the uses corporate Twitter accounts have - their existing Facebook / Discord / Reddit / Twitch presence probably covers that quite well ... or for the "decentralised" buzzword, there is of course here.

And they're all working visa holders who can't take severance because they will be deported if they do!
The cesspit is closing? Where will I mentally defecate now?
Looks around.....weeeeell
