We’ve advised journalists to set up their own Mastodon accounts and servers. This kind of federated social media puts people and communities in control. It can guarantee journalistic freedoms, which #ElonMusk and #Twitter have demonstrated are precarious in their centralised, monopoly products. #fediverse https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/dec/16/twitter-elon-musk-suspension-journalists-sets-dangerous-precedent-un-warns

Singer Josephine Baker was the toast of Paris. She was a spy for the French Resistance during WWII & secured passports for Jewish citizens fleeing Nazi territory.
Her marriage to a Jewish businessman drew the attn. of Hermann Göring, who poisoned her. Members of the Fr. Resistance rescued her; she recovered.
She was awarded the Legion of Honor, Croix de Guerre & the Rosette of the Resistance. In 2021, she was inducted into Panthéon, France's hallowed tomb of heroes. #BlackFriday
Thanks for this,

Yeah I agree, about time those in power grew a par and started to hit these companies where it huts, in the pocket.
Also we should perhaps look at those who remain on Twitter and other platforms in a different light, perhaps that would encourage some to leave, there is no going back for Twitter and those who remain potentially risk having their reputations tarnished forever, even if they are dong good things.

Again urging people to follow tags like #journalism #journalist #journalists to support journalists making the switch from #twitter to #mastodon.
Follow people who talk about what you love. Make it a welcoming space and help us build a better space for them.
@selfagency I am confident the community will grow, lets just keep posting, boosting etc.l

we have everyone needed to comprise a truly diverse and inclusive open source contributor community to cocreate the greatest internet platform that ever existed and we're all just talking past each other.
@anthony I think this is one of the reasons they get suspended, they say things Elon does not agree with. usually the TRUTH.

Normalise being wrong. Normalise admitting to mistakes and changing your opinion as you learn more. It's how we learn. It's part of being human.

I am sure the only reason the ban was lifted was because the EU threatened sanctions, oddly that doesn't mitigate the ban should never have been implemented in the first place.
@GreenFire I think the website that comes from includes data for ALL aircraft, but yes, if you don't want to be tracked then travel in some other way.
Updated my poster for the @fsfe youth hacking 4 freedom contest
I think a few people are still on there, yes.

Public Service Warning
Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when when Musk pulled the employee purge.
It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.
We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.
@WayneCollins Shows how a poor public transit system can really have a detrimental effect on people not just students but also staff at the school / colleges too.
