For context, this is one of my favorite climate graphs, showing 800,000 years of atmospheric CO2, including the massive run-up over the past century. We're now around 420 parts per million (ppm), more than anytime in 800,000 years (actually more than anytime in the past 5 million years) and completely outside the natural ups and downs in the record. This is the driver of the current #climate crisis.

Hey, so, we've hit 1,028,362 monthly active users across the network today. 1,124 new Mastodon servers since Oct 27, and 489,003 new users. That's pretty cool.

Some laid off #TwitterEmployees asked to come back. Sure, but let me get through that class action lawsuit, k? 😂 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-06/twitter-now-asks-some-fired-workers-to-please-come-back

Why is Mastodon, a free platform run by volunteers that I didn't even know existed last week and has experienced explosive growth in a few days, slow?

imagine deciding which engineers to keep around based on lines of code and choosing to keep the ones who wrote the MOST

Lotta complaining about the unintuitiveness and learning curve of Mastodon from people who use Excel on a daily basis.

It’s really sad for people who lost their trusted online home in #Twitter with the Mail takeover. He really shows who he is now by firing half the staff blindly, he simply doesn’t care about the human aspect.

Try to see it positive since now you have discovered a place that’s as much as fun and probably even more! We may not have the numbers but we make up for that by kindness and interaction with each other🥰♥️

A social network is not defined by its numbers but by its community

With half of the company gone, political campaigns are gripped with anxiety over how to address election misinformation and potential threats on Twitter days before the midterms https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/05/twitter-layoffs-election-impact/

"Mastodon is too complicated for mass adoption."

Who the hell wants mass adoption? Name one thing on the Internet with mass adoption that isn't a dumpster fire.

I've made a deliberate choice against a quoting feature because it inevitably adds toxicity to people's behaviours. You are tempted to quote when you should be replying, and so you speak at your audience instead of with the person you are talking to. It becomes performative. Even when doing it for "good" like ridiculing awful comments, you are giving awful comments more eyeballs that way. No quote toots. Thank's

everyone is jeering at elon musk, but whom amongst us can say that they’ve never spent too much money on domain name that they don’t know what to do with?
