This news doesn't lack a hint of irony:
Former Twitter workers create their own instance on Mastodon https://macaw.social/about

#Mastodon

Macaw-Social

A small server by some ex-tweeps mostly for other *tweeps and friends.

Mastodon hosted on macaw.social
@alejandrobdn Had to happen! Convenient that they had everyone's personal email address to invite them. https://nitter.it/ZoeSchiffer/status/1591152301817102336
@nemobis @alejandrobdn unfortunately (we know people who got the email) the BCC wasn't to an actual full personal email list, it was to a Gooble group that didn't control who could post to it. Subtle difference but important to the story.
@alejandrobdn I wish them all at @macaw.social well and welcome them.
@alejandrobdn That server sounds like it does more verification than Twitter Blue does now.
@alejandrobdn Another week and they'll probably have more Twitter employees than Twitter.
@alejandrobdn (Belatedly: This was meant affectionately and welcomingly, not mockingly. I realized after the fact that adapting a hashtag that became prominent in the wake of the butcherjob that Twitter did might come across as taunting...)

@alejandrobdn I mean, you wouldn't want your former employer in charge of your social media, would you?

Imagine all of the former Google employees whose former employer can still read all their private email!

@alejandrobdn
Good for you guys! Too bad I can't join since I'm just a normal user. I'd love to see your comments, etc... . Anyway, rock on!
@alejandrobdn I was going to wonder out loud when they were going to get around to doing that πŸ˜†β€‹
@alejandrobdn This is great to see, and I hope some of them can contribute to the evolution of Mastodon.
@michael @alejandrobdn trying to help with some of the API libraries already πŸ˜‡
@alejandrobdn @zate We now have an "official" one 🀣

@alejandrobdn I wonder if real macaws can join?
@alejandrobdn Just waiting for the Mastodon account of Elon... although I don't want to have him here 🀣
@alejandrobdn I feel bad for them- being so mistreated by musk
