“Flipboard is a news aggregator and social network aggregation company”
Cool that they’re avoiding Musk, but that seems more than a bit redundant.
How exactly is that redundant? Seems to me to be another service that collates and curates content out of the sea of the internet, and helps people find more targeted content.
An account on a news aggregator/social network for a separate news aggregator seems redundant. I realize that they’re trying to poach users, but on its face it still looks redundant.
Have a downvote for being logical.
Won’t be the last time. Thank god karma’s even more worthless here than Reddit.
Never heard of Flipboard 🤔
Translated headline:Flipboard is abandoning X for Mastodon / Flipboard is not actually abandoning X.Edit: Thinking more about it, I think the wise thing is to announce it like this so the head brat at Xitter doesn’t revoke their account and hand it to someone else.
What ?
The actual headline:
Flipboard is abandoning X for Mastodon / The platform says it will hold on to its accounts and retweet from time to time, but it plans to focus on Mastodon and other social platforms instead.
My initial perception was focusing on the fact that that’s not abandoning it. That’s keeping one foot in the door, just in case.
Thinking more about it, I think the wise thing is to announce it like this so the head brat at Xitter doesn’t revoke their account and hand it to someone else. Editing my statement above, too.
