A suggestion (inspired by @meganmariehart): If an organization hosts a profile of you on their website and includes social share buttons, ask them to create a button to take people to your #Mastodon account. Also, even without such a button, have them include your mastodon feed in your contact information. #fediverse #twittermigration
The son of an Ethiopian academic is suing Meta, claiming that his father, a Tigrayan professor, was gunned down in November 2021 after he was targeted on Facebook with hateful and inaccurate posts. He said he tried to get Facebook to remove some of the problematic content — including a post with a photo of his father — but he didn’t receive a response until after his father was killed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/13/ethiopia-slain-professor-lawsuit-meta-kenya/
Viewing the death penalty as wrong -- so obviously wrong that I scarcely know how to articulate it -- was probably the first recognizably "political" opinion I ever had.
Hell yes.

Justice is not advanced by taking a life, and the state should not be in the business of executing people— even if a terrible crime placed them in prison. Today I am commuting all death sentences in Oregon to life without parole, so we no longer have anyone facing execution here.

@mmasnick I would say we’re living rent-free in Elon’s head, but he doesn’t seem to know what paying rent is.
Have you ever interacted with the website of another Mastodon server and found yourself having to re-enter your username and password, again and again?
There's a new web browser extension called FediAct which allows you to log in with your account once, and then you never have to log in again.
You can install it from Firefox Addons and the Chrome Webstore, including Android versions. There's more info about it at:

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A 56 yo survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
