Notes > 10 days out of Twitter: Frankly, Mastodon isn’t quite the Twitter replacement many were implicitly hoping to be. Many users have migrated, but their interactions haven’t.
But that’s okay! A lot of expert networks are moving to Discord instead, where there’s a lot more vibrancy (they link back to Twitter but it’ll change soon).
But more importantly, this is helping at a personal level. Feeling a lot more calmer and at peace without Twitter-like drama. So this is good for me.
HELL YEAH

likely to suppress reporting on right-wing extremists. As I reported, Loder's painstaking research identifying a Proud Boy who attacked police on Jan 6 was cited by the DOJ - https://theintercept.com/2021/11/10/proud-boys-antifascist-tweet-chad-loder-court/"
Elon Musk just banned the culture jamming anarchist publication CrimethInc. from Twitter after a request from Andy Ngo, the fascist activist who's beloved by multiple mass shooters.
CrimethInc. has had a Twitter account since 2008, has never violated Twitter policies, and has never been suspended until now.
