Hey y'all: Given Twitter’s turbulence we want to build our platform here on Mastodon to make sure we can continue our conversations on a public social media platform.

Can you please BOOST this post and FOLLOW our account and encourage your followers to do the same? Thank you.

Sorry... (really not sorry at all). I asked ChatGPT to write a Jay-Z song name checking John Mastodon, and the results were so much better than I could have expected....

I'm delighted by all the goodies and benefits I happened into on mine here at qoto. The starting text block is at 64K, which is huge in comparison to most, for example. The description page at qoto.org/about/more will give you a rundown, and I think you'll be pleased and surprised by the list of features.

Despite the recent enormous surge in activity and memberships, the server is still speedy (as is the administration). I've had zero trouble with any unpleasant characters lurking about. The management is pro-active in handling issues quickly. The underlying reason for its existence is as a science and science education instance, so there are many intelligent and well-spoken folks about.

Even though there are now over 25,000 users, the admin is reachable and responsive.

Hope you check us out!

It must be the cold medicine--I flashed on the "Free Money for Everyone" ?-mark suit guy and Jayne's Hat from Firefly. I'm groggily making a connection there...and it's not just that they both are orange.

If you’re going to leave Twitter, please don’t
a) delete your account, because someone bad will steal your handle
b) delete your Tweets, because their existence doesn’t help Elon and it’s like burning the Library of Alexandria.

Twitter captures a real-time historical record of a couple of decades and the billions of individuals’ snapshots are irreplaceable.

The thought of all those tweets being erased makes me feel physically sick.

[please pass on if you agree.]

Conservatives in Texas have started a website, defendkidstx.com, for people to report upcoming local drag shows.

Here’s the link to a list of Texas pastors charged with abusing children this year. You know what to do.

I explained to the world (ok, to a journalist) that Elon can ban whatever he wants on Twitter, but he's in for a bad and stupid time if he thinks he can sue a kid for posting publicly available flight data.

I just read the latest filing (Support of Motion to Dismiss) in Finchem v Fontes and Hobbs (AZ) and got a few giggles.

"Talk about chutzpah," citing a 9th Circuit 2000 case...

and my favorite heading
"PLAINTIFF’S OTHER RAMBLING
NON-SEQUITURS SUPPORT DISMISSAL"

I must be easily amused.

Aloha everyone!

The #Fediverse and #Mastodon are experiencing some recent growing pains. There is a risk that developments could lead to the network fracturing into walled gardens of individual communities that are isolated from each other. There are also people who want to assert centralized control over the network. These dangers are described and a bold solution is proposed here:
