I am the very model of a devotee of Mastodon.
The other social media, we wore it out and passed it on.
A man can kill a website but its lifeblood has immunity:
We’ll just come over here and reassemble the community.
So cultivate inclusive manners, promulgate your welcome mats,
Celebrate our freedom from the whims of random plutocrats.
The fediverse has first, no Musk, and next, no Ye, and last, no Don.
I am the very model of a devotee of Mastodon.

No man is an island but some of us are peninsulas with very narrow isthmuses.

Twitter is now BANNING accounts that post links to other social media platforms. You're no longer even allowed to tweet out what your username is on other sites.

You basically need an attorney to let you know what you can and cannot tweet.

This is unprecedented censorship.

So much for freedom of speech on Twitter.

KARMA at its finest

The man who threatened #blacklivesmatter pleades GUILTY to hate crimes

I’m enjoying this game. I’m not enjoying the commercials whitewashing the theocratic fascist regime of #Qatar which arrests people for being LGBTQ+.

Me: We need to stand United for justice for all people. You’re entitled to your personal religious or political beliefs—but those beliefs don’t supersede the requirement of equal access to justice for Black and brown people, women, immigrants, faith minorities, LGBTQ people, low income people, or people with disabilities.

Troll: You had me until lgbtq

Me: So here’s how this works. Either you champion equal access to justice for all people—or you’re on the wrong side of history. Choose justice.

#Tiramisu came out perfect. 😋

i’m just a girl, standing in front of a pair of pants i bought five years ago, asking them to fit

My Twitter account is no longer permanently suspended, but now it's locked unless I delete a specific tweet that billionaire Elon Musk doesn't like

@gwensnyder I'm a twitter lurker
I am shy
I held on. I doomscrolled. Kept onto my fave journalists once they talked about doxxing yet ngo and chaya weren't going away
I walked
For some reason I feel safer here
Well see

@ScottSoCal @kskilesstudio Ah yes, thanks for taking the time to engage. I am happily lurking for the moment, trying out federated timelines, hashtags, etc. Had not discovered notifications though, so had missed all the people following me and some replies. That's fixed now :)

I’ve been making festive tree decorations which suit my sense of humour. All that’s left to add is the ribbon loops for hanging. #crafting #sewing #gingerbread #festive #festivefun

Nintendo has strayed so far from its roots.

DO NOT TOUCH would probably be a really unsettling thing to read in braille.

“This is not just about political disagreements. We’re talking about violent rhetoric... The lack of basic information literacy — you’re seeing members of Congress treat YouTube videos from foreign countries as if they’re gospel. All of that is really, really alarming… it’s like looking into the mouth of madness…
You’re seeing people unspool… all in service of this authoritarian goal, which is completely disregarding a democratic election.”

It's raining men because the aliens are returning the abductees in the most compelling way possible.

I can't be the only one who hates that Elon claims he has autism.

I wish society would stop letting these ppl claim they've got autism to explain the fact that they are just horrible fucking ppl.

Can I say fucking on Mastodon? I just did. We'll see what happens.

russians hate the west so much, the west should really stop forcing its products on them

Google should stop all its services in russia: Gmail, YT, Google docs etc.

Microsoft should shut down Office 365, windows etc.

Apple should block iOS there

I can go on, and on, and on.
