Hank GreenHow am I supposed to quit Twitter when an insufferable shitstain gets owned by a teenage climate activist so hard that he made a douchy reply video that led Romanian authorities to his location leading to his arrest on suspicion of human trafficking?
Am I supposed to find out hours later?? Like my /mom/?
Freakinbox@hankgreen I found out first on here, not Twitter.
Funny enough.

_hagfish@hankgreen you gotta follow more people here! i hit the inflection point where i was seeing stuff here first about a month ago, it really picks up when you have more people
the strongest bocchi (evil)@hankgreen honestly i just embrace being uncool and out of touch
t'is the true fedi experience
become the digital old person

MyOnlySecret@hankgreen I'm trying to avoid Twitter more and more.
matt butler@hankgreen Just talk shit about Elon and get yourself banned. You can still lurk but can't post. It's working out great for me
speedbird9
Brian Hynds@hankgreen here on the Fediverse, or there’s always Reddit. 🤷♂️
kit@hankgreen Hank buddy you make your own timeline here you gotta follow terminally online people manually
Diego Dieterich@lampsofgold @hankgreen This! It's the expense of having a social app that doesn't track your online behavior like Twitter or other platforms do! It's worth it!
elisa 
@hankgreen I literally thought this same thought when I found out.
Heather Laura@hankgreen yes Hank. That's honestly best.
That person has been delt with and I have not wasted more then 2 minutes of my life thinking about him.
Im glad he is delt with but my shouting online would not made a tit of a difference and only made my day worse with nothing to show for it.
Lee@hankgreen Hey, I got it right away here on Mastodon.
E.G. Phillips@hankgreen this is the price we have to pay for living in a slightly more civilized world
André❎@hankgreen guess so
Kim
Ava 
@hankgreen I found out on Reddit (and then on Tumblr)
☕️ NerdfighterNichole 🧦@hankgreen it's a real freaking conundrum...
Rob Bos@hankgreen embrace age, and being forever behind the curve. Let the youths tank the rage.
Zendadaist@hankgreen Depends how your feed is set up. I found out about it on here -before- I found out about it over there!
Andrew@hankgreen I am getting the full twitter mega-shadenfreude experience that I desire right here on Mastadon
Bree 
@hankgreen I trust tiktok will keep me up to date 😌

Jason Weatherly@hankgreen I mean, this is a very valid point...that was amazing...
Jeff@hankgreen It is the kind of thing I don't think we'll get anywhere else.
Magnus Hedemark@hankgreen because you can still read about it on the Fediverse like the rest of us did.
Coffeemancer Vanvidum@hankgreen Anyone who understands this toot completely is too online.
(It's me. I'm too online.)
(It's me. I'm too online.)

Jeffrey Ochoa@Vanvidum @hankgreen I wish Reply Now was still around to do a Yes Yes No episode on it.
Eric Ericson@hankgreen It’s like golf. Broadly terrible, but every so often you just nail your 7 iron on an approach shot, and a human abscess gets arrested because his opsec sucks.
It’ll go back to being terrible shortly.
Bryn@hankgreen Does he get permanently suspended for revealing his own real time location?
Dubi is here 
@hankgreen sorry, what?
Dave Briggs :protein: (@[email protected])
Oh my gosh this is delightful. (If I have got this right...) (1) tweets a stupid thing @[email protected] (2) gets humiliated (3) tweets shitty playground "I know you are but what am I" response video (4) Video reveals he is in Romania due to Romanian pizza box (5) Romanian feds raid his house and arrest him in connection with people trafficking. Absolute Chef's kiss. https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/andrew-tates-luxury-villa-reportedly-raided-by-armed-police-in-romania-2019584/
Hector Rodriguez@hankgreen And he also has Elon to thank for just having reinstated his account.
@rocketcheddar Imagine reinstating Tate's account... 💀
Ryan Henry@hankgreen Elon should use that for marketing: If you like hanging out with human traffickers, twitter is the place for you!
tomwsmf@hankgreen You can read about it there....and talk about it here....a little bit of Twitter on the throne ..a little bit Masto on the road......Deadbird Mambo #23 2/3rds.
Now good luck getting your brother off twitsville and on here ..if it's any help I got my big bro here @AHiggins
So there is hope
Finnley Dolfin@hankgreen I prefer not to be in the same room as the poop stain to begin with. ;)
Dani B@hankgreen tbf…. You could have found out instantly but sort of depends on who you’re following 😉
Beeks@hankgreen well I just looked and the site is stuffed with right wing nuts defending him and spewing the same nonsense talking points so... Yeah, I'm happy not being there.
Patrick@Beeks @hankgreen if you check out the mentions of Greta in her reply to him, they're fun. 😅
@hankgreen WAIT- He was arrested after all that? LMAO
ZephyrXero@hankgreen I heard about it here 🐘
merely rhys@hankgreen I take back everything I've ever said about the internet being "bad".
A self-styled internet 'alpha' male celebrity who all the worst people you know worship being outed as a human trafficker and rapist and now facing criminal charges because he couldn't stay silent and just had to try to bully a teenage climate change activist online... all of it makes me think the internet might be good after all.
D1g1talDrag0n@hankgreen ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Eff the Tate brothers.
Wendy Lady@hankgreen I promise you it is just as funny finding it out here. If not funnier.
NerdGirlInVR 💜🇺🇸🌎🐘💜@hankgreen I'm over here on #Mastodon getting ALL the giggles #AndrewTate can deliver. Happy to follow you here! 👍
Talulla@hankgreen Not sure about quitting, cuz I can't do it either, but damn, that news sure was satisfying.
KatLS@hankgreen aint life grand?
Courtney Heard 🇨🇦@hankgreen Just remind yourself that the platform welcomed him back with open arms, knowing his treatment of women. It's pretty easy after that.
Ody
TheOtherRae@godlessmom @hankgreen Exactly! 👏👏👏👏👏
nathan@fosstodon:~$
@hankgreen I just remember that being on Twitter provides value to the site which is owned by a terrible human being, elon musk.
Also I find out all of this sort of news anyway
James Endicott@hankgreen you could try following @gretathunberg
Less dunking but it's her Mastodon account. Also, depending on your instance's rules, you might be able to follow a mirror of her Twitter content like @gretathunberg
Mark Crocker@o76923 @hankgreen @gretathunberg @gretathunberg Also don't forget to install something like #UntrackMe https://fedilab.app/wiki/untrackme/ so, on those rare occasions when you're tempted to look directly at ”the eye of Sauron”, you can use #nitter https://nitter.net instead, so you're not: being observed, tracked, advertised to, or feeding the algorithm.

@o76923 @hankgreen @gretathunberg @gretathunberg since you're a #SciFi author yourself (I'm on chapter four of https://books.mxhdr.net/book/44309/s/an-absolutely-remarkable-thing ), perhaps you might take inspiration from @pluralistic 's book #WalkAway https://books.mxhdr.net/user/mcrocker/comment/6775 which others, who _have_ read it, have posted that it helped them decide to walk away from Twitter themselves (sorry can't find the original post 🤷♂️)
