If there’s anything left to buy aside from tacky merch shirts. I’m sure the creditors will pick it clean and auction off the best bits to the highest bidder.

Maybe, or maybe it’ll be another Bebo level disaster.

…I guess it was indeed a disaster because I can’t remember even hearing that name before.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bebo

originally operated from 2005 until its bankruptcy in 2013

It was announced in January 2021 that it would be returning as a new social media site the month after. By May 2022, it had once again been shut down, without having ever left beta testing.

Facebook tried with Threads but overcoming ecosystem inertia is hard.

Bingo.

And since won’t get back all the staff he dismissed; they’re going to have to just slap the Twitter brand on a Mastodon instance.
