@ashlee I got into the bird app as a way of coping with insanity of the Trump years, then segued into keeping up with COVID-19 stats & research, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But now I'm really enjoying the earnest FOSS nerdiness of Mastodon & wishing the rest of the world could be more like this! #ilovemastodon #dumpthebird

@dangillmor exactly. #MuskTwitter is a farce of a bastion of free speech when he bans people he disagrees with. It is worse than the previous #Twitter he complained about. #DumpTheBird #dumptwitter

@drewharwell I don’t understand why news organizations, from CNN to the smallest weekly rural paper aren’t taking this opportunity to establish their own instances. Ensure free verified speech continues and screw Elon over all at the same time. #elon #dumpthebird #cnn #mastodonisthefuture
