The End of Social Media: An Interview With Jack Dorsey

Originally published at: https://www.piratewires.com/p/interview-with-jack-dorsey-mike-solana

jack dorsey on his exit from bluesky, how twitter lost its way, jack’s strategy for ending censorship forever, new background on the elon saga, and the death of social media as we know it

  • Bluesky was launched to become the open source protocol layer for social media platforms, but the team ended up “literally repeating all the mistakes we made” at Twitter

  • Jack’s challenges at Twitter: a hostile board with an activist member, the “core, critical sin” of basing Twitter's model on brand advertising, and his plan for never having to ban an account after Trump

Import these SQL files when you see weird crud in your posts/comments/etc. after migrating your WordPress install or upgrading MySQL on your server. *Note:* You may need to do a find/replace on the prefix in each `.sql` file if your WordPress install is not set to use the usual default of `wp_`.
update wp_comments set comment_content = replace(comment_content, 'α', 'α');
update wp_comments set comment_content = replace(comment_content, 'β', 'β');
update wp_comments set comment_content = replace(comment_content, 'γ', 'γ');
update wp_comments set comment_content = replace(comment_content, 'δ', 'δ');
update wp_comments set comment_content = replace(comment_content, 'ε', 'ε');
update wp_comments set comment_content = replace(comment_content, 'ζ', 'ζ');
update wp_comments set comment_content = replace(comment_content, 'η', 'η');
update wp_comments set comment_content = replace(comment_content, 'θ', 'θ');
update wp_comments set comment_content = replace(comment_content, 'ι', 'ι');
update wp_comments set comment_content = replace(comment_content, 'κ', 'κ');
