Hello Mastodon

As Space Karen is fucking up Twitter, I came here to create my Mastodon account. This is the same T Dawg you may know from Twitter. I am not yet actively posting here, but if Elon Musk continues with rate limiting, I will end my 15 years at Twitter and will be here with my Mastodon friends. Cheers (PS these are too long, hate reading stuff this long)

@harrymccracken ahh, this brings back memories of my forest green car/bag phone

@julieatallah Hello there! Nice to meet you! Fellow early fifties marketer and comms director (am still going!) here, who lives with hubby and a dog as well. Am just dipping a toe here at the moment but I think I may stay

What’s been obvious for quite awhile is that Twitter “influencers” don’t write for human interactions.

They write for algorithmic interactions.

They’re not directly influencers of people. They’re influencers of algorithms.

So yeah, Twitter “influencers” hate the Fediverse because they can’t play the same games.

Yet what’s the result of removing algorithms? More human interactions, less shady “influence”.

In many nations, this map would represent every mass shooting in their entire history. In the US, these are the mass shootings in January 2023. And the month isn’t over…

@juddlegum and yet DeSantis won re-election. He won by a lot. He made no secret of who he is. I wish teachers had united around this message last fall. It IS heartbreaking. And it’s going to be so much harder to stop now.

This must be amplified now. Or he could be president some day. And THAT’S terrifying.
