Paraphrasing:

"I hate it when there's a diverse market with multiple different options in active evolution. I actually preferred when we had a monopoly and everybody fucking hated it."

The twitter meltdown is really generating the worst takes ever huh... Did we forget that people used to call Twitter "the hellsite" until a few months ago, when it was better?

The stance from this author sounds like someone who doesn't want to have a dozen social media accounts. If only there was a way to have one account that could participate across a wide variety of sites. We could call it... The togethercosmos!

I can definitely understand being annoyed by too many options, the Paradox of Choice is simply a limitation of our brains. But what I find it interesting that the cutting line is after Facebook/Meta jumped into in. They weren't saying Mastodon was enough Twitter alternatives.

Yes they were. It is also the name of the most realistic and brutal Movie/Documentary of a nuke war Threads
