Tried to update my Twitter profile (which already says to find me here) to be clear that I'm done posting and reading there.

Update was rejected because Musk and his minions now want you to believe mentioning and/or linking to my Mastodon account constitutes "malware".

He's panicking, which is good.

He still controls one of the most important media companies in the world, which is bad.

NASA and other government agencies doing business with Musk should be thinking hard, right now, about what kind of person they're doing the public's business with.

Meanwhile, anyone who bought stock in Tesla during the past year should be cursing the name Musk.

Any journalist or news organization remaining on Twitter is now participating in Musk's mockery of free speech.

You cannot have this one both ways, journalists. You are with him, and his rancid extremism, or you are not.

Please choose to do the right thing for yourselves, if no one else.

Similarly, government agencies that remain on Twitter are endorsing a company that increasingly promotes extremism and demonstrates contempt for fundamental principles of democracy.

Maybe that's fine for Florida's regime. It should not be for most governments, especailly the federal government.

@mergerson Replicating what they do on Twitter is not difficult. Redirecting people from there is not hard. It won't be an overnight fix. But it is necessary.

There's a limited number of radio stations in any geographical area, which is a different situation.

@dangillmor I can't get my undergraduates to read email and we're going to easily shift people's social media behavior?

Are online communities transferable?
