I can admit when I'm wrong and I was wrong about Elon Musk. No one was more skeptical than I - but his decisions this week have shown he really *can* put a social network on the path to unprecedented success. Specifically Mastodon.

It’s really a shame to see the outrageous handling of #TwitterLayoffs. As seems typical these days, on the spectrum of “smart, compassionate” to “short-sided, assholic”, Elon swung way to the latter. Hey, maybe soon Parag *won’t* be worst Twitter CEO ever anymore! 😂

Once again, there's never been a better time to join me on the #Fediverse than right now. My best content and conversations are starting there going forward. Viva la open web!

You have a voice. Use it.

Just a reminder, I'm not really posting here anymore and I'm not giving E.M. the Ridiculous a single penny of my hard-earned money. Life is grand over on the open web, you should try it! indieweb.social/@jaredwhite

CW youth vote in the U.S.: It seems to me that one of the biggest takeaways from the mid-terms this year is that young people turned up in droves to vote! This is incredible! I'm so proud of Gen Z and my fellow Millennials for making a huge difference… indieweb.social/@jaredwhite/10…

Not gonna lie: everything that's been happening lately with social media is causing me to rethink my business plans. I've been working on a paid CSS course which I'd hoped to release early next year, but was largely dependent on a huge marketing blitz… indieweb.social/@jaredwhite/10…

Peace out y'all. I'm not going to participate on the same timeline as T***p in this universe or any other. You can look in my bio to see where to follow me elsewhere. I'll be deleting this account some time in the next few weeks. Sure sorry it's come to this. I really am.

Please don't feel bad if you see that I've unfollowed you. I'm systematically unfollowing everyone, hopefully finding you on other open platforms at the same time. If you're concerned we haven't connected yet, feel free to DM me your open web profile!
