What a masterpiece.
Twitter was a shithole before Elon Musk. Twitter is a shithole during Elon Musk. And Twitter will be shithole after Elon Musk.
The goal of the fediverse has not been (nor should it be) to recreate some version or other of a shithole.
It can be (and is) so much more.

Some instances allow quote posting, like Qoto.org.
There are many features that are server or even software (Mastodon is not the only one) dependent in the Fediverse. Some servers allow posts as long as 65,535 characters, for example.
I see some AI people trying to justify the use of copyrighted images without explicit consent by copyright owner. I think these people should read a bit about IP law before making any claim. A nice start here: s that copyright images cannot be used without consent from copyright holder. Saying otherwise is a lie. I suggest you read a bit about IP law before disseminating false claims. A nice summary https://www.copyrightlaws.com/legally-using-images/
TL;DR One cannot use a copyrighted image without consent. Period.
Thank you for voting!

If Mastodon diehards want this to be The Next Place after Twitter, the move is to bend over backwards to listen to disabled and Black community about what they do and don't need in social media space.
Even if it's challenging.
Even if it makes you uncomfortable.
These are power user communities, whether folks like it or not.
At this point it looks like we will not have an operational W3C nonprofit on Jan 1. Every Director will vote their conscience, but it seems likely that the asset transfer will be rejected, leaving MIT responsible for its contracts with W3C Members (for which they have paid).
No one knows what happens then.
So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.
If you go to https://spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction
And this editorial by @holden:
"Unfortunately, the name of JWST has tarnished the story. James Webb was a former NASA administrator who presided over some of the agency’s biggest accomplishments. But he served at a time when a program was initiated to fire LGBTQ+ employees on the basis of their sexual orientation, and he stated to Congress that these individuals were “unsuited” for employment at NASA. ..."
