Twitter is a fucking dumpster fire.

They blocked the official mastodon account.

They blocked several prominent reporters today.

They're blocking any links that are http(s)://website/@username to stifle mastodon adoption.

This is what "transparency", and "freedom of speech" mean to Elorgh Mask.

If you were wondering, "Is Elmo still having content on Twitter which mentions the word Mastodon and/or links to an article about Mastodons flagged with content warnings?", Magic 8 Ball says, "Yes.":

Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.

It’ll be great to see GivennameFamilyname@mastodon.famousnewspaper.com or whatever domain they want to use.

Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.

Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.

TFW you have to reiterate to the recruiter that you don't want to maintain rack mount servers, you want employment as one

Reminder that debian is the linux distro made exclusively for lesbians.

Heeey so how’s everyone doing? Having a real one tonight?

For no particular reason I will also share this guide I wrote for #Twitter expats getting started on #Mastodon 👀

Remember folks, be kind to your neighbors, mods, and instance owners but no quarter for fascists.

May the servers be robust 🙏 🖖

This will be the new social media home for the Doom Wiki, posting the same kind of things we did previously on Twitter (mostly news relevant to the site). Hope you decide to follow and enjoy!

The polls will continue until moral improves

Well then. I guess we are all bad. 😈 Welcome to the Dark Side.

At this 3rd anniversary of the start of the pandemic I’d like to thank the scientists, health and social care workers, and essential front line workers who saved millions. Many literally owe you their lives. It’s rare that I ask this but please consider reblog/boost to spread gratitude. I will never forget or forgive those who spread anti-science ignorant disinformation. Usually for financial and/or political objectives. And it continues. Vigilance is still needed. Greetings from Switzerland.

I guess I'd be pissed off too if I spent all that money for a private jet and then found out it didn't actually make me invisible.

TIP OF THE DAY

Mastodon is not broken.

It's different, and much better. Mastodon by design promotes engagement not asserting influence. It's a dinner party, not a food fight. Most of what you might at first think is deficient is intentional. Before you rush to conclusions, try it for a while. Take part in this new community. Make new friends. Be kind. This is what social media should be. You will be amazed.

We did it, guys. We made it to the dystopic future.
