Please don't use #Fedified! 🙏
This is what it says about itself:
"(Fedified) is *the* way to make sure that you're following the account managed by the same person you used to follow on Twitter."
It wants to be a central authority. This is dangerous, and opposite to what the Fediverse stands for.
People become dependent on a central authority, then it gets bought out by billionaires.
You can already verify your account on here without using any centralised lists:

@xtaldave It’s proteins, all the way down.
@freemo 😬 Sorry about that…
@xtaldave Don’t tell the flat earthers!

Intellectual property theft, boost please
So, DeviantArt opted in, by default, all existing art on the website for use by third-party AI.
Without notifying their users. For all existing art.
You have to go through your art pieces one by one and tick a box that you do NOT consent to this.
I learnt about it on Birdsite, by accident.
And of course, any inactive user or dead user will have their art used by AI models from now on, even though they never agreed to this.
Disgusting.
Hmm, entirely possible/likely. I'll watch out for that in future.

@trinsec @thislewashi@peoplemaking.games Hm, maybe it cancels it if there's no text, just an image. Or maybe I mis-clicked something...
Lewd / nudity
@freemo You say that like it’s a bad thing.
#cws seem to me (and I’m probably showing my age here) just like the old #LiveJournal “cut” feature, albeit not quite as flexible but much easier to use as they don’t require weird custom markup.
There once was a spaceman called Musk,
Who hollowed the bird to a husk,
We migrated and flew,
To find friends old and new,
And now we are fans of the tusk 🦣

"Why is the UK struggling more than any other big country?"
Well, I suppose it could be that we've been more affected by the war in Ukraine or the #covid19 pandemic than other big countries, but I wonder, were there any other big countries that recently cut themselves off from their nearest trading partners?
