Substack is not a suitable alternative to Twitter.

If Elon Musk can buy Twitter, he can buy Substack.

However, Elon Musk cannot buy the Fediverse. No one company owns it. It is not for sale.

one useful little rule i have is if the budget affords it i always try to pay my collaborators/contractors enough that i feel “a little bit taken advantage of”.

it’s pretty tough to have a financial transaction that everyone feels great about, so if someone is gonna feel a little bad it should be the person with the most power.

This is the ONLY day you will ever hear me say "happy anniversary!" and Margaret Thatcher's name in the same sentence!

Maybe the real Mastodon algorithm was the friends we made along the way.

Las grandes corporaciones de combustibles fósiles fueron las primeras en tener datos científicos del impacto de sus actividades en el clima. Hasta hace nada se creía que la mayoría conocía el problema desde los 80, siendo #Exxon la primera, con un informe interno en 1977.

Pero recientemente documentos desclasificados han demostrado que #Shell empezó a recabar información en los 60 y tenía informes científicos en 1975, que decidieron ignorar.

Lol. From an @alaric thread, I was just reminded of this thing that absolutely did not age well from the CEO of a website who charges $400/year for insights "you won't find anywhere else."

Today is the #TransDayOfVisibility, and this year more than ever, trans folks need _everyone_ (yes, including you) to help fight against truly hateful legislation seeking to actively harm trans people. Trans rights are human rights, and trans folks deserve to be treated with the same rights, dignity, and respect as anyone else. 🩵🩷🤍

I'm really disappointed, and yet sadly not surprised, that we've had so many reports of abuse today after people have posted their support for the #TransDayOfVisibility. This only shows how important this is. There is an ever increasing amount of legislation, vitriol and hate against the trans members of our community who just want to be live their lives, and be treated with the same rights, dignity, and respect as everyone else. All they're asking is to exist without being afraid every time they step out of the house or open a web browser. No-one should have to fear taking up space in the world.

So, to all my #trans friends, you are seen, you are respected, you are loved.

Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility and it's more important now than ever before.

Trans and non-binary people face an increasingly hostile world with politicians who would vilify them for their political gain rather than to protect them.

At the moment existence is activism, but trans people have always existed, and trans people will always exist.

Hatred and intolerance will never, ever win.

I don’t know whether it’s me getting older or the Internet getting older— but things feel significantly less silly now. Everything is very produced, yet sterile. Everything only exists if it can make money. If it can’t, it either doesn’t get made or dies off.

There was a magical time where it seemed everyone thought this was all experimental. Things were made because they were fun to make. That experimental nature gave us all permission to be weird. Now, it seems, everyone strives for “normal.”

Hay que recordar una vez más que comprar seres humanos no es un derecho, es un privilegio que te da tener dinero. Y que todos los compran bebés deberían amanecer con la cabeza en una pica.

Starting May 15th, only verified accounts will be able to not follow my @elonmusk account.

The is the only realistic way to address my waning popularity. It is otherwise a hopeless losing battle.

Replying to me will require verification for same reason.
