At least it’s all out in the open now…
RT @PDChina@twitter.com
Edward Snowden, former US intelligence whistleblower, swore an oath of allegiance to Russia and has collected his Russian passport, his lawyer told state media on Friday.

Hey, for those of you who are missing bumping into more #news stories as one did on Bird:
Follow @uspolitics which is a feed of #US news, but posts are "unlisted" so you won't see unless you follow. Pls boost!

For Twitter folks who are brand new to Mastodon
Few pointers from a veteran of <checks notes> 2 weeks:
1️⃣ BOOST generously: If you see a Toot you like & want others to see it, boost (RT) it. Unlike Twitter, liking it does nothing for visibility
2️⃣ HASHTAGS are important, use liberally. They're the only way to make content discoverable by search
3️⃣ Use alt-text for images/gifs for accessibility
4️⃣ Err towards content warnings - not just for obv triggering content; helps keep feeds uncluttered

Twitter is now begging some employees who Musk laid off to come back.
Some were apparently laid off by “mistake,” others were let go before management realized that their experience was crucial to build the new features Musk envisions. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-06/twitter-now-asks-some-fired-workers-to-please-come-back #tech #technology #news #media #journalist #elon #twittermi #twitterefugee
Twitter refugees: if you are leaving Twitter for good, do NOT deactivate your account, just set it to private and leave it.
Otherwise you risk squatters taking your name and exploiting your reputation, manipulating your followers, or coercing you into buying it back from them.
Bots smell the blood in the water; let's not leave them chum.
