#MESA Make Europe Strong Again.

Use more European apps. #StopFacebook #UseMastodon

So many services to cancel, so little time.

RailsCamp in Australia is back!

But with a whole new reboot, the camps will be called #RubyRetreat going forward, taking us closer to roots of our community as a community built around programmer happiness (and spreading those friendly vibes far and wide through the apps we build and the projects we support).

On the train to Warrnambool now with a great group of friendly coders.

Thx @rubyau organisers!

Threads had 2.3 million active users at the beginning.

Now it's down to 576,000, a 79% loss of active users.

The linked article has more details.
