@jon Most people don’t want to know details. They won’t, for example, implement basic cybersecurity even if it’s free, if it involves even a small amount of extra effort. Successful platform tech hides the details - and can abuse its users for the same reason. People still don’t understand that they’re not Twitter customers, they’re just a resource to be used and abused to generate ad income.

This Twitter thread from @georgemonbiot expresses my thoughts and, I suspect, the thoughts of many who are refugees from Twitter.

UK Politics; Refugees
“Britain exists in an imaginary state of crisis about immigration…
[But] appalling failures have occurred not because there are too many migrants, but because the government has broken its own asylum system…”
Great read from Nesrine Malik on a “crisis by design, not of arrivals”

So here's what I've learned.
Mastodon isn't Twitter.
And that's by design.
You've grown used to things designed to give you that anger rush.
Mastodon is very deliberately built to avoid that.
The temptation is to replicate your Twitter experience.
Picking arguments, amplifying trolls.
Please don't.
This isn't your house, people here put time into building it.
Content warnings, ALT tags.
Don't turn it into a replica of the mess you just left.
If you miss the fights, the birdsite is still there.
@Philsturgeon The garbage goes on the cars... 😂

The issue with Oliver Dowden’s claim that Gavin Williamson sent abusive messages to then Chief Whip Wendy Morton "in the heat of the moment” is that he sent them over a period of weeks (as per the Sunday Times)
And Sunak knew about the bullying complaint before he appointed Williamson to the Cabinet
This story isn’t going away
Wow. Mastodon works! Each server seems to work a little differently...
