myspace.com is still up

it’s kinda like when Llewelyn asks over the phone if Carson is there and Chigurh answers “Not in the sense that you mean.”

My money is on it having a major (if not permanent) outage that signifies the inevitable end before new years. It might come back online and limp along for a bit, but I think it’s already dead on its feet.

I’ve considered building my own clone of Twitter, just to try to scam some VC money, but moderation is just not worth it to me. Every day I thank the mods of this site for the work they do and the shit they deal with.

I think so. I didn’t interact with it much because I kinda hate twitter as a format and resent being linked hard to read twitter threads.

Why not just tell the VC paypigs that an AI is doing intelligent content moderation powered by machine learning in the cloud? They would love to hear that kind of bullshit technobabble.
