not that hopeful
SheldonLest anyone doubt that Twitter was idiotic enough to release code that would cause a race condition and result in its own users executing a DDOS attack on it, here's the network console readout from Firefox showing all the network requests blasting away.
Of course I immediately closed out my connection because I'm a good person.
...but wait! It's the weekend and Evil Sheldon is in control so I kept the party going for a while since Twitter insisted on it.

Sapphic LawyerHey new followers, especially followers in the legal profession, got something serious to talk about for a sec.
The US is getting extremely scary for trans people. New laws are being proposed and passed to criminalize our existence at a terrifying pace. This stress takes a toll on us, and it's a lot more taxing on me personally than I let show here.
Please speak up for trans people whenever and wherever you can. Don't leave us by ourselves while we're under attack.
Peter SterneThe New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, CNN and Associated Press have all posted guides to using Mastodon, which in turn have been syndicated by numerous local news outlets. That matters. We're rapidly approaching a situation where the media will refer to things happening "on Mastodon" the way they referred to Twitter in, say, 2013.
@qaomene Even dumber is the implication Musk plans on eventually charging people a fee to have any links that could be considered "free advertising". Countdown until he starts banning Yellow Checks for not paying the Link Fee.
@slowbeef The final blow will be when pissbaby retaliates against twitch streamers.
@ScarletRed Moral of the story: don't take business advice from Incel Miles Cheong.
austerity is theftjust want to get the sequence right, and caution why post dot news is a dead end
@mond @MattBinder So instead conservatives will start a movement to falsely accuse mastadon of enabling pedophilia and get it banned in the US.
