I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

It's actually pretty amazing that a open source product developed by a tiny non-profit, running on a network of servers self-funded by volunteer administrator and moderators has managed to absorb some portion of one of the world's largest for-profit social networks.
It's a miracle the whole thing didn't collapse or catch fire.
Great job everyone.
@bland_one@fosstodon.org I mean... Salesforce is more than just a CRM, but you're right on the influx. I have periodically searched for mentions in the fediverse and found Alvord nothing until the last few days.
Twitter has seemed to be a dumpster fire for a long time, highlighting the worst in how people relate to each other. Will those leaving Twitter for the fediverse stick it out here? Will they bring the worst of Twitter with them?
There are ways to interact here that don't create the same relational trash heap that Twitter often felt like to me. I've had cordial interactions with people across the spectrum here. Looking forward to connecting with new joins and hoping for the best.
@mcuellar what are your thoughts on the new Salesforce Devops Center? The limit of only only integrating with github keeps a lot of us from doing much with it, but I think it looks promising. I think of so many admins I've worked with in the past who couldn't /wouldn't learn to work with git.

@mrman no the Bible doesn't predict that
@thor it's not just a test to see you output a few sentences never said before in human history?
You could maybe do a few like.....Lets Go Brandon, Trump & Q is as politically divisive as a monkey and a footloose dormouse juggling twelve gargantuan iguanas?

A couple stories about AOC and her "arrest"
https://grrrgraphics.com/the-drama-queen-aoc/
First Ben Garrison has a cartoon that notes the cop doesn't want to date her.

Second, "Not the Bee" has a great collection of tweets that mock the whole situation. The last one from the "Babylon Bee" is pretty good as well.
