Wait, I thought the decentralized version of Twitter was Mastodon

I'm a beautiful woman, most men would say "yes" to me

Maybe start with a bit more modesty idk

I wouldn't even know where to get something like this. I only heard about this pumpkin spice thing on the internet

You're forgetting all the free advertising when your cars show up in the news all the time /s

Sounds as great as the last software called Pegasus which was completely unproblematic und only used for good.

Keyboard manufacturers requirering you to create an account to use your own fucking keyboard

Classic "this is why we can't have nice things" moment

I mean there's a reason that no one else in this world has this hair cut

Das mit dem heißesten Juli seit Beginn der Wetteraufzeichnungen gilt ja nur weltweit. Hier in Deutschland is doch gerade absolut Flaute, ich bin froh, wenn das Thermometer mal die 20-Grad-Marke knackt

The timing doesn't really add up though. ChatGPT was published in November 2022. According to the graphs on the website linked, the traffic, the number of posts and the number of votes all already were in a visible downfall and at their lowest value of more than 2 years. And this isn't even considering that ChatGPT took a while to get picked up into the average developer's daily workflow.

Anyhow though, I agree that the rise of ChatGPT most likely amplified StackOverflow's decline.

I don't think that's a non-issue. If you host an instance an can see everything on it, that's one thing, but if everyone with an instance can see these things from all other instances, that's a different story. That way literally everyone can see all your up and downvotes. That's not the end of the world but that's definitely an issue imo. I can already see people getting canceled not because of an old tweet but because they upvoted something controversial years ago lol.

Posting a meme and getting no upvotes, is basically like making a joke and no one but you laughs about it. Shit hurts.
