Taylor LorenzPeople who are talking as if reblogging is what leads to harassment need to understand that abuse happens *far more* often in replies. Does that mean u shoudjnt be able to reply to people? No, it means we need controls! As far as I’m aware there’s no way to limit replies on Mastodon or filter them. Would love for more controls like that to be added. Threading on replies wouod help a lot too imo.

Faiz SiddiquiNEW: Elon Musk sent a Signal message ordering his staff to aid in the Twitter Files: "please give Bari [Weiss] full access to everything at Twitter. No limits at all.”
That triggered a frenzy inside Twitter, which was under a decade-old FTC order. IT staff refused to onboard Weiss, worried Twitter would be breaking the law.
Days later, two executives were fired.
"These guys did amazing damage,” a former employee told me of the Musk subordinates running the company.

Tiffany LiThe explosion in growth for Mastodon, including among mainstream, non-tech users, is genuinely exciting. That an open-source, interoperable, nonprofit-driven protocol could reach this kind of success is incredible. The future looks bright ❤️
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.

Perhaps just Elongate
Musk will end up chasing his tail.
Tracking his plane was a bad idea.
