@davidrevoy So you predict that X will die. I think Musk by making weird changes and rebranding will just kill off Twitter. It may end up as it was with Google+ (whose functionality I liked), or it will remain just a medium for militant politicians, which also means the end.

@darekpages My illustration is not about the end of X but the murder of Twitter by X and so, the end of Twitter.

I left Twitter in April and when I announced it you could still see some warm feelings , especially in my illustration of the moment ( https://www.davidrevoy.com/article964/goodbye-blue-bird , ) .

But now with the rebranding, I really feel the place I knew between 2010 to 2023 with all I learned on it is definitely changed and so, Tw belong to the museum of G+, Orkut, Freenode and Myspace (I was on the four).

@davidrevoy I see. The most, worst thing is that different social media actually fight each other, different communication protocols make the user exclusive. The lack of this universality of communication precludes exchange between them. I heard there's a new medium in the making: Blue something, similar to Mastodon. Lovely illustration! But disturbing, sad.

@darekpages You probably refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluesky_Social ; but there is nothing similar to Mastodon in it. As far as I can see, it's proprietary, with investors, so expect it will get monetized aggressively by adv, data mining, or anything like that after a free period that will serve only to bring in the Bluesky boat the new adopters and an audience.
