It's been a tough few years for MacStories.
An explanation of why we resumed posting on X, and what comes next:
@viticci The fact you didn't even post this on the site is telling.
@viticci hey, maybe truth social next?
@viticci "We abhor Musk’s politics, his rhetoric, his careless disregard for others, and the direction he has taken X. But we also disagree that participating on X means we have aligned ourselves with any of Musk’s views or actions."
Participating is one thing - contributing to the bottom line by paying for X Premium is another. I don't see how an abhorration of Musk goes in hand with paying him and his companies.
@viticci I think many people on mastodon have to face this kind of decision often. That’s what it is to be in the minority.
@viticci thoughtfully written as always. You have to do what you have to do sometimes to survive, especially as an independent business. Everyone is always going to have an opinion, the only one that matters is yours, John's, and the relationship you have with your team. You still got a supporter in me!!
@viticci should this not be on the site itself, instead of a Craft page?
@viticci I hope you guys will still continue to post on Mastodon and Bluesky as we won’t be going back to X to see your content there if it becomes exclusive. Please continue to post to our communities, as well. Thanks
@kvenden That is 100% my plan. Especially with a renewed focus on indie apps, which I have failed to cover enough over the past two years.
@viticci Like all things nowadays, it comes down to money.
@viticci I’m sorry, values matter, please do not give the digital equivalent of a “nazi bar” a reason to exist, and instead, let it crash. Your content is too good for that platform.
