I'm working on my laptop and I wanted to open up my dedicated Fediverse app... except that I thoughtlessly clicked on #Tweetbot instead of #Ivory...

... and was reminded once again of the absolute wreckage that EM created.

Don't get me wrong, I find the Fediverse far far superior and the best social media experience of my life. I don't miss Twitter in that respect.

But for nostalgia reasons I kept the Tweetbot app installed... I just hope that the Tapbots folks (who made Tweetbot and then the excellent Ivory) are doing well. I remember reading they were struggling since the demise of Twitter. Le sigh. They even made this excellent page, in loving memory of Tweetbot:

Semi-related but the BEST article from 404 Media that I read in recent memory is this:
