I've gotten a lot of responses to that Substack piece about leaving Twitter. Many are positive but some are negative. A few are saying "oh so you think free speech is nasty?"

What kind of stupid question is that? Of course I do. The Nazis marching at Skokie were nasty. All sorts of speech is nasty. Supporting free speech doesn't mean reserving judgment about it, you imbecile. It means not using the state to suppress it.

@Popehat I've missed you since abandoning the other place. Glad to see you posting here.
@thevowel Yeah @Popehat is one of the last people I've been feeling the lack of. The main thing now I miss is the good material on Ukraine.

@uanews is a bot that reposts news (very useful for just getting a stream of information)

I'm still hopeful that Julia Davis (of Russian Media Monitor) will move to Mastodon.

@hackbod @thevowel recommend @CedricMas and @noelreports for daily Ukraine updates
Mastodon

A newer server operated by the Mastodon gGmbH non-profit

Mastodon hosted on mastodon.online

Try below even better Ukraine news updates than I had on twitter
