Hello Mastadon. Looks like Twitter is completely bunk for many today. Me too. 😞 It’s been great. Now someone against good democratic debate appears to be hell bent on destroying decency and human connections across the globe. Elon Musk isn’t making sense to me, but if his plan is to destroy good communication between good people - it’s working. It should be illegal to do what he’s done with a public social media platform. Just shows how bunk privatisation is for end users. So disappointed.

So glad we have this alternative. Thank you Mastadon.

Hey Imogen 😘❣️🫂
Great to see you back contributing here, I think we’ll see more of our mutual pop up soon as their tolerance of SoaceKaren wears thin. I’m finding it pretty stressful to go in there, so for now just using to it let my friends know where I am and swapping details.
As for SpaceKaren, he has cut his own nose off.
No empathy at all for his stupidity and narcissist existence.

@Aristokrattic Thank you. I’m glad here is here. Elon isn’t showing any social responsibility in his takeover of a free to all media platform available to all for over a decade. It’s very disappointing to see the platform and it’s members so entirely disrespected and disregarded. It’s so deliberately destructive of world connections and communities it should be illegal / globally treasonous, an act of aggression on multiple fronts against multiple democratic nations. But alas, money talks etc… but we ain’t BS and all of that site is. Yes. I hear that.

I am finding myself busier than ever, a new job (thankfully), and an exciting one that will most certainly challenge me. I have fifteen hours this week. Hopefully this can develop into a good routine and allow space for my passions in economics, society, good governance and housing/ Medicare for all here and on Twitter.

Apparently “Bluesky” will be open to the public shortly (and I’ll be checking that out too). Managing social media across platforms is a time management work in progress. I’m very glad to have set up here.

I’m about to try my hand at writing a book and will need extra time in my days for this endeavour. I’ve two books rolling around in my head that need to be written - just to get out.

Hoping all is going well for you, and everyone else here too. Updates welcome. Say hello. 😎🌹

@Imogen
So glad you’ve got loads of projects on the agenda.! I’ll look forward to reading about your endeavors and the book writing 😃

Whilst it pains me that I’m most likely gonna lose contact with some online friends, I also recognize now how important it is for our mental well being to have “outside media” friends and interests.

I know it’s going to be very hard for some people whose only contact with the world is via online. And if they’ve invested it all at the other place, I do worry for them, so I’m trying to sense those that might need help to get to a place where they’re accepted and feel supported.
Hopefully we can build new villages that are more caring than the other joint.
Lotsa love ❣️🫂🌷

@Aristokrattic what a wonderful vision. Let’s be supportive communities. ❤️🌹💯🔥😍
