Mastodon is great.

A huge relief to find that it exists (hadn't heard of it a month ago though it suddenly seemed clear there was a consensus that it was the place to move to to the extent that it would gain critical mass quickly as has happened), and that a beyond tipping point of influential people wee joining it.

Took @decodingtrolls around six months on Twitter to gather (by working hard) 3,000 quality followers. Taken 3 weeks to gather 3,000 high quality followers on Mastodon. 1/2

Twitter just feels dirty now, though I use it still to promote Ukrainian democracy, my main energy is in Mastodon.

Twitter was always problematic cos of its corporate structure and algorithms but one made that compromise in order to exchange knowledge.

With Mastodon its decentralised nature and lack of algorithms makes it align with one's values.

What about you? 2/2

@decodingtrolls My ancestors came from some of the lands near the south of Ukraine like Georgia. Ukraine is so important. If we want to quit fighting over borders The United Nations needs to step in and do what they were meant to do. This means Russia should be removed from the United Nations until they are in compliance.

That said, I believe America needs to volunteer our war criminals to Norway to face their crimes and judgment. For me even presidents should go to prison if they commit crimes. We are strong enough to send a politician to prison without our country falling apart. We aren't strong enough to keep harboring these War Criminals forever. The country will tear itself apart and become a pariah if we don't do something.
