Scott ShapiroMastodon and Twitter can coexist. Mastodon is for smart content, Twitter is for watching Elon Musk own himself.
Mr. Fred 🔥@scottjshapiro on mastodon, every admin can own themselves, this is what democracy is all about
SuperTran@fred @scottjshapiro I've already seen more than one admin own themselves here already in the past 3 days. *cough* masthead.social *cough*
@supertran ah be kind it's a tough job!
@fred this is the other website that the admin of masthead.social runs: https://freedomdigitalbroadcasting.tv/
He is an election denying free speech absolutist. I'm not willing to be kind in this example.
@supertran oh. I misread what you were getting at
SuperTran@fred @supertran The frustrating thing is that there are several large accounts (like @popehat) who have established themselves over there the past few days with no knowledge of the crazy views of their server admin. I'm replying to this from one of my other accounts accounts because tech.lgbt has already had to defederate from them because their server admin refuses to take action against accounts with account names like "KillAllTheJews"
Mitchell Gore@scottjshapiro - Elon Muskovite was great in Fight Club…
Joseph Ishie@scottjshapiro exactly!!!
Darnell Clayton 
@scottjshapiro 😂🤣😂 People are impersonating Elon Musk & saying crazy stuff, although a few are endorsing Democrats that Elon hates. 😂🤣😂
It's checkmark confusion over there! Also, I think they fired too many iOS payment developers, as they forgot to update the price to $8. 🤷🏾♂️
Michael Roberts@scottjshapiro Definitely why *I'm* keeping it around!
Jake Ouellette@scottjshapiro Twitter having a main character gives it a "Jeremy Renner's social network" feel
Darrin Walton@scottjshapiro or try to own everything and everyone. Soon Musk will try to ban mastodon on Starlink. Soon he will have his network engineers null route any and all Mastodon instances. Even those of us who use cloudflare to protect our servers may start to suffer.
Roh Ash@darrinw @scottjshapiro let’s not buy any more Teslas
@rohash @scottjshapiro I will never buy a Tesla. Hell, I'm trying to convince a friend to get rid of Musk's starlink service :D
@scottjshapiro Yeah, I am no fan of Kathy Griffin, but Musk was really stupid to ban her! I think he is creating his own cult of personality on Twitter. I am hoping that Twitter becomes too crazy for him to run & he leaves soon! It wasn’t perfect there, but it is really becoming a joke with him there!

jfkaufman@scottjshapiro l’ll keep twitter for satire.
Christopher Pickel, RN@scottjshapiro it is the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen.
Chris@scottjshapiro Who knew such an avowed capitalist would be such a fan of being publicly owned over and over again
David Harlan@scottjshapiro soon to be your meth-head neighbors doing donuts on their front lawn
@scottjshapiro pretty damn much. Besides owning himself Elon is having a full on melt down. Maybe Kanye can help.
Zergling_man@scottjshapiro Twitter has just been bad software from the beginning. The real joke is that it took some twat with a spare sink and a commitment to puns to make people realise it's not worth using, instead of the absolutely godawful *everything* it offered from day 1.
🇮🇩 neet@Zergling_man @scottjshapiro every complaint I had with twitter software and twitter the corporation was answered by gnu social, but gnu social was too boomer

PMPN8EZ@scottjshapiro My hope is that all of that stuff stays on other platforms and this one can be morecivilized. Hopefully, that can't be too much to ask.
@scottjshapiro that's why it's called the owning class
Timothé Beaufils@scottjshapiro Can't wait to see Elon joining Mastodon 😂
coucou@scottjshapiro 😆 I would be grateful for finding even only *partially smarter* content than before on twitter.

The Green Lens@scottjshapiro We spoke about Musk's Twitter takeover last week on our podcast, if you fancy a listen: www.greenlensblog.com/highhopespod
Arthur Jones Jr@scottjshapiro Good to see you on here.

william.maggosTwitter is for moving people to the #fediverse.
John "John Davies" Davies ☑️@scottjshapiro Would be a pity if everyone left Twitter.
Bank manager:"Now Elon, what have you got to show for $44b hm?"
Elon:

Vincenzo@scottjshapiro not sure I enjoy that type of cringe
VoteBlueGirl@scottjshapiro Elon will find out he F'd up big time. And I will laugh & laugh, & laugh.
@scottjshapiro MySpace and Digg are still out there too.
Anna@scottjshapiro The way twitter is going it will suffer same fate as Truth Social.
Marie Kmita@scottjshapiro Sorry, I don't have time to waste so I deleted my blue bird account.
