@Edent@mastodon.social superb!

@kirsties@mastodon.world @rachelcoldicutt@mastodon.social UI / UX driven by things users want :) Sure not everything but longer text, edits, content warnings, alt txt for images - it's a very different set of priorities to Twitter.

@rickmans@nerdculture.de Clearly there was a divide of opinion here, though, with one lot declaring (with Musk) that “vox populi, vox dei”; and Alcuin warning that it is “semper insaniae proxima”. We may ask where that leaves the wisdom of the crowds? Or even Seneca, who states that the best ideas as held in common (“sciant quae optima sunt esse communia”)? Mob rule needs separation from democratic impulses and sharing of common ideas; somehow “vox populi, vox dei” has conflated them in common usage.
