1. A platform only has as much "reach" as you give it. Stop contributing to the content feedback loop and that reach will get shorter.

2. Stop chasing "the most reach" and look for "the right reach". What value is the "most" reach when you are reaching into the depths of the sewers?

@dangillmor Why would any reputable news organization continue to engage on a platform that has so clearly indicated that it intends to control (and shut down) critical reporting on it?

John Mastodon, CEO and creator of Mastodon, is also the only man to have defeated a dragon in one-on-one unarmed combat.

After defeating an 85ft red with a well placed right hook, he discovered it had laid a clutch of eggs. Rather than leaving them to rot, he decided to keep them warm and raise the young dragons himself.

This is him with his young "son", Galerax.

Twitter is now saying they officially will block links to competitor websites, including Mastodon instances, Instagram, Facebook, and others.

However, links to Vkontakte, Telegram, Truth Social, Parler, and TikTok all worked as of this writing.

Sorry... (really not sorry at all). I asked ChatGPT to write a Jay-Z song name checking John Mastodon, and the results were so much better than I could have expected....

Of course he is with another Traitor to our country.

Elliott Downing has the solution

Earlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am *permanently* banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

I've read many requests to add Mastodon links to GitHub profiles for verification and discovery purposes.

My team is working on allowing you to add a number of social profile links, but given upcoming holiday vacations, it won't ship until the new year. We don't want to rush something out at the potential cost of disrupting what is generally a quiet time for our engineers.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't talk about in progress work on social media, but y'all seem like you can keep a secret.

There's a lot of discussion about #birdsite and #journalism right now. While we are still having ongoing discussions about how best to handle our presence there, we can say confidently that we plan on staying on Mastodon indefinitely, barring unforseen circumstances.

In just about a month, we've very clearly seen the value in our presence here, for reaching new people and having great conversations. Here's to the future of the fediverse! #SocialMedia #TwitterMigration

I know everyone was fired/resigned from Twitter and so likely no one there will even read this, but I figured I might as well submit an appeal

Many may remember footage of a Russian Lancet drone striking a 5N63S engagement radar of the S-300PS - as it turned out, it hit a radar that was put there by Russian forces.

For the sake of transparency we reconstructed the story behind these S-300 batteries in Kherson Oblast🔽

NFT ice age is coming.

Meer groen in de leefomgeving zorgt voor minder zieken, blijkt uit onderzoek. Per extra hectare groen in de buurt neemt het aantal langdurig zorgbehoevende patiënten fors af. Naast gezondere en vitalere mensen, kan dit jaarlijks in heel Nederland voor een financiële besparing van 400 miljoen euro zorgen.

De makkelijkste manier om gas te besparen: zet 'm op 60. De meeste cv-ketels staan op de fabrieksinstelling van 80ºC, maar werken efficiënter op 60ºC. Deze snelle besparing scheelt veel gas en dus ook CO₂. En dit zonder verlies van comfort en geen risico op een koude douche. #energierekening #gasprijs

Hello! Very much looking forward to starting a new chapter here. Browsing through an old box in the garage just now, I found these, and for some reason I thought it would make an appropriate first post. My 1990's computing history.

Who is Taylor Lorenz and why should we care?

She's a technology columnist for the Washington Post, suspended this evening from Twitter apparently for asking Musk to comment on a story involving Musk. Musk is demonstrating that he can extort censorship from the media with the ban hammer. Taylor was targeted to be an example. Other journalists are put on notice it's not them...this time, and reminded to toe the line. This is about press freedom. That's why we all should care.

#orion has left lunar orbit! It fired its main engine today to exit distant retrograde orbit and set itself on a course for Earth.
