A front page article on the Washington Post telling people how to get started with Mastodon?
That’s a big deal.

Any journalist who is happy *some* of you have had your #Twitter accounts restored, while others are STILL #suspended without a shred of justification, simply do not understand where #elonmusk is going with this.
He plans on monetizing the mob to humiliate you and keep you compliant. Your intentional targeting and discomfort will be a financially valuable form of entertainment.
Post.news is a Twitter clone that’s being invested in by the same people that turned Twitter into 8chan in the first place. Why the fuck would we want to repeat the same mistake?

The pair are charged with conspiracy, retaliating against a federal official, interstate communication of a threat, & solicitation to commit a crime of violence.
Happy to be here. Am one of the trio who resigned from #Twitter's Trust & Safety Council on Dec 8 before #Musk disbanded said Council on Dec 12. #introduction #Introductions
I would love to connect with folks from #NewfoundlandAndLabrador
Let's connect and form a community here!
I work at #MemorialUniversity
I live in St. John's
I have a great community in the bird site, but the bird has ... you know... significant issues now
Let's connect, folks
And there have been times where I’ve though someone was kind of cool, until some kind person—instead of assuming that I must know everything about that someone and wasn’t bothered by any of it—took me aside and explained what the deal was, and I’m grateful to those people, because God knows how long it would have taken for me to find out on my own if NO ONE FUCKING TOLD ME
Imagine being invited to a party and it's the coolest party you've ever been to. Doctors, Scientists, Photographers, Journalists, Artists of Every Type, Tech People, Chefs, Bartenders, the list goes on and on, they are all here, they brought their pets, and some really good weed and a bottle of something nice, and everyone is sharing interesting things about themselves and society.
AND Y'ALL, I'VE BEEN ON HERE A MONTH, AND NO ONE HAS SEXUALLY HARASSED ME, NOT EVEN ONCE! No MAGA dude has called me little lady and tried to explain my beliefs to me. If someone thought I was incorrect about something, they just made intelligent points about it and moved on.
Can we keep it this way, pretty pretty please?!
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A 56 yo survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

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.
