This is significant ...

The German office for data protection and freedom of information hosts the official #Mastodon server for government departments

They are now calling for all ministries on the server to put their focus on Mastodon

They are also asking ministries which are not yet on Mastodon to join as soon as possible

WOW. Elon Musk's Twitter straight-up banned the account for Mastodon. Just, wow.

This made me laugh - Jason Goldman’s take on joinmastodon being banned from Twitter

“Is it fascism if it doesn’t come from the fascist region of Europe? Who cares, the point is that they hail Hydra.”

.@atrupar@twitter.com has been suspended from Twitter without any explanation

Remember: Twitter is Elon's company, he has the free speech and free association right to run it pretty much however he wants and to ban people for petty narcissistic reasons.

And we have the right to laugh and point at his ridiculousness and at the free-speech pretenses of his gullible fans.

Here to spread the good word (that you should replace your own cabin and engine air filters and also your windshield wipers)

If he visits Quebec, we will know he is instigating a crescent of instability from the Delta to the St Lawrence.

Yes, yes, don't normalize this, but what exactly am I supposed to do about it? I'm not normalizing, I'm compartmentalizing

So a bit about me, because I really want to connect with you all on here: I'm a #CBC #journalist in #Newfoundland #NewfoundlandandLabrador, & I cover stories that touch on #healthcare, #education, #inflation, #costofliving, #Indigenous issues, #poverty, #equity, #foodsecurity, the #arts, #windenergy, #womens issues, #politics, #cdnpoli, & more.

weird how musk purged the company of all the people who kept the site from being used for actual Crimes like terrorism and CSEM and now he MIGHT be in trouble with the companies that distribute the app.
