Musk says a 50% drop in ad revenue for Twitter is causing negative cash flow

  • I didn’t know I needed this word, but I definitely do.

  • Every time I eat cheese, I end up eating more than I should because “if I eat it now, I can’t eat it later, so I’ll do better tomorrow”.

    I then buy more cheese tomorrow and the cycle repeats.

    I doubt I’ll ever learn.

    • What are some interesting accounts to follow on Mastodon?

  • I did end up creating an account, but I’m not sure about posting my handle here as I want to keep the things separate (especially as I’m using my name on mastodon).

  • Aha! Sounds like we just have different definitions of “content creator”, that just sounds like a normal account to me.

    This was probably just me confusing things =]. I used to post all my blog posts etc on Twitter, but I have no intention of doing that on Mastodon. I didn't spend enough time ensuring there was a distinction between the two platforms.

    Fyi it’s also a custom to make an intro post when you join, tag it with #introduction and just let people know what to expect from your account. Load it up with the relevant tags so people watching them find your account, it’s usually a good way to kick things off and get some initial followers.

    Ah ok, thanks! I have already started posting but I'll do that anyway. Thanks :)

  • I'm not interested in promoting or advertising. The vast majority of my tweets where just sharing random things I came across while working, or reminders when I encounter gotchas (e.g. slices as function parameters in Go).

    Being completely honest, not overly interested in meeting people either. I'll give it a few months and see how it goes :)

  • Is mastodon worth signing up for, as a content creator?

    I used to be a pretty avid tweeter - I’d post random things related to my job (software engineer), like gotchas I encountered, new articles I’d written etc etc, but I left Twitter when a certain somebody took over.

    I’m not bothered about a large following, but I did enjoy randomly helping people that would see my tweets and fix their issue / help with the thing they were working on.

  • This is exactly the reason neither of my kids have a single picture online (to my knowledge).

    It’s not up to me. When they are old enough, they can decide. Until then, I’ll do damn hardest to keep it away.
