@viticci Weak sauce 👎🏻
@viticci business is hard, especially small businesses. I don’t begrudge anyone who has to make hard choices to keep their business afloat. And TBH posting on X doesn’t seem like a hard business choice to me, it’s the logical next step for MS seeing as that’s where the AI community reside.
Ironically, all you’ll get on here is hate.
@viticci I do hope you’ll reconsider. Perhaps you won’t miss me, but I’ll miss you.
@viticci the response to this post just shows what a horrible platform Mastodon is. Just full of terrible, spiteful, hateful, judgemental virtue signaling assholes. Never seen such a miserable bunch on any other platform.
As for you Federico, I hope this is a eye opener. You were the same virtue signaling asshole like these people who are turning against you. I’m glad you’re seeing the benefit of X despite what these miserable little shits have you believe. That alone makes you 10x better than the 3 insufferable holier than you trio at Accidental Tech.
@viticci support a Nazi, call into question what it means to be a person supporting a Nazi.
@viticci I support you 10000%.
I’m on X too. It’s great. I wish you much success
@viticci you have sinned in the church of Mastodon, now you must pay 😂
@viticci nope. I’ll miss your blogs and podcasts but that’s inexcusable. Enjoy the nazi bar.
@viticci I hope the folks who are swearing you off and accusing you of being a fascist don’t shop at Amazon or Walmart or use Threads or Instagram, for starters.
I appreciate it was a tough decision. I hope you continue to stick to your ideals and run the business as well as you can. I’ll stay engaged.
@viticci thanks for this — I really appreciate the time and care that went into it
@viticci Have fun hanging out with the Nazis, rapists and other scumbags! You are literally helping them grow their brand too.
To which I say: YUCK!
But hey, at least your AI girlfriends "like" you.
@viticci in 2022 leaving Twitter was the right decision. Good, you had some principles. It was the right decision for me too - though I had no skin in the game. 4 years later has something about the platform gotten better? Or was your principled stand more about trying to get off a social media platform going downhill and on one with some momentum? And now, will X welcome you back or will they remember your perfidy as you help feed the enragement? Congrats, you & MacStories get blocked too.
