Mastodawn

Just discovered I still had a Twitter account from over a decade ago that I never used, and forgot to delete. Logged in to delete it. Timeline showed posts of:
1. How undocumented immigrants should be deported even if they've been in the states for decades and are contributing to society. (Their words)
2. Public broadcaster is "fake news"
3. Palestine activists are "pro-Hamas thugs" in league with Mamdani.
4. A misleading claim that Starbucks is banning pets to become halal certified (they're not)
5. A fake AI video of people plunging to their deaths after a swimming pool falls off a skyscraper
6. Post from Elon (who I never followed)
7. So. Much. Nazi. Stuff.

This was all just in the first few posts I saw. The place is basically Truth Social now.

Thanks. I skipped the twitter/facebook era of social media. I actually read fb's clickwrap when they launched and learned I was transferring ownership of my images, my writing, and anything I uploaded, forever. I saw that as a pretty raw deal and rode myspace into the ground with the kids.

Nice to see it's exactly what I thought it was.

Oh, and even before I knew they were evil, I never used anything with algorithms. I never wanted to. I search directly for what I want to see. Love mastodon. And thepiratebay.org. I also don't stream. I like my own copies of things.
