Gay. Left of center. And if you think that means “centrist,” you’re not reading my words; you’re reading into them. #TerminallyGay
It looks like the support account for the bird app deleted the tweets referencing their idiotic policy change. In addition, the "Social Platforms Policy" page is returning a 404 error. However, users are still forbidden from sending Mastodon links in DMs. https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/social-platforms-policy
Did anybody else get a nasty surprise when they tried to send their Mastodon link in a DM on the birdsite? At least it was in hot pink.

this video explains a lot of things pretty good in a small timescale! 📼
5 Reasons to DITCH TWITTER For Mastodon!
Untitled Goose NameI keep seeing that “first they came for the journalists” sign, and it pisses me off so much, because when they came for muslims, immigrants, and trans people, mainstream journalists normalized it and reported it as “both sides”. Somehow it didn’t count for them until it was happening to them personally, which is *exactly* what the fucking poem was warning against in the first place.
I don’t think I’m gonna get much sleep tonight. These two are wide awake. #CatsOfMastodon
Jen SimmonsEvery news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.
It’ll be great to see [email protected] or whatever domain they want to use.
Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.
Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.
Drew HarwellNo warning. I report on Elon Musk and other topics for The Washington Post and will keep doing so because free speech and transparency are important for the world.
In the last few days I ... wrote about Elon Musk. I posted links to publicly available, legally acquired data as well as links to Mastodon, which also now is banned on Twitter.
Elon Musk is free to ban whoever he wants from Twitter, just like people are free to take their speech somewhere else.
Orlando Sessions🧬✊🏻🚴🏼♂️🏳️🌈🇺🇸Tonight’s Twitter purge has reminded me the importance of a DR plan and backups…
loriA while back I saw an r/woodworking post where someone was asking for resources for woodworking plans. A few people told them to Google it.
If you Google it you get absolute horseshit. Just page after page of useless results. So we need to stop the fucking "let me google that for you" era and recognize that search is entirely broken in the modern day. We NEED human recommendations and information sharing now more than ever.
