@jack That’s exactly the sort of article I’m expecting will start popping up any minute now. Like you, I have no interest in reading it. But then, I avoided all those “The End of ____” books and thinkpieces back in the 90s. Secular apocalyptic literature is even tackier than the religious sort.

@jack (Though I’d give them points for a title like “Not With A Bang But With A Wheaton” — or maybe “Not With A Toot But With A Wheaton”?)

@jack He wrote a longer post about it on his blog. I've read it, and his other sign-off post thread on Mastodon. I also engaged in a bit of debate on Mastodon as well. The incident has truly exposed some weak spots in the idea that federation and decentralization can prevent all the negative behavior associated with FB and Twitter.
