NEWS! Football fan finds way to enjoy the full Budweiser experience in Qatar by filling his glass from the tap https://newsthump.com/2022/11/19/football-fan-finds-way-to-enjoy-the-full-budweiser-experience-in-qatar-by-filling-his-glass-from-the-tap/ #Budweiser #Satire #WorldCup #Qatar

Almost 180k new users joined #mastodon yesterday, a new record. This third #twitterMigration wave happened after Musk's Twitter 2.0 ultimatum to #Twitter workers. Each wave is stronger than the previous one. Here is my updated plot showing the three consecutive waves.

A groundbreaking decision taken by world govs yesterday gives explicit protection to 54 species of sharks, some of which aren't critically endangered today, but soon would be without help.

This is a win for the planet really, as sharks are a 420M year old keystone ocean species that have survived 4 mass extinction events. Oceans need them to persist. No sharks, no oceans, no us.

So many people are having a bad first experience with Mastodon because they're using the official app which is lacking features, doesn't allow image uploads randomly, has random slowness, and doesn't give you easy access to the two most active feeds where you can find people (Local and Federated).

Please switch to Metatext, Tusky, or Tooot for a better mobile experience (or even use a browser).

Out of the >15k users that joined this week, over 11k are on the official apps.

There once was a spaceman called Musk,
Who hollowed the bird to a husk,
We migrated and flew,
To find friends old and new,
And now we are fans of the tusk
