We're SO happy to be here considering what is happening on that bird app.

We're working hard to get our independent, women-led journalism in front of as many #twitterrefugees during the #twitterexodus as possible. We'd love a signal boost so more folks can discover us!

#JohnMastodon is proof that things *CAN* go viral here on Mastodon, but the key is that *YOU* are the algorithm. The reason that the John Mastodon meme showed up on other people's timelines is because so many users boosted the posts.

The lesson here is: please don't just favourite something if you really enjoyed it; BOOST it so that other people can enjoy it, too! This is the only reason why I bother to create as large a social graph as I can on Mastodon—to act as an amplifier. You can, too!❤️😉

The reason Mastodon and the Fediverse is spread out on so many servers is it protects it from being taken over by anyone. Not even the richest can buy this place.

Centralised services like Twitter are incredibly easy to buy out. If you move from Twitter to another centralised service, sooner or later that will get bought out too.

The point of the Fediverse is to break this buyout cycle, to let people be permanently in control of their accounts. More info here:

Nazi groups, including the Christofascist youth group, New Colombia Movement, just got a #drag show in #AustinTX canceled. I know for a fact that community defense organizations including the local John Brown Gun Club offered aid. I respect the performers choice to protect themselves but hate seeing the fascists successfully attack #queer culture, again. This is a genocidal movement.

A TERF conference is reportedly headed to Austin in April. We need to get organized.

Algorithms can't tell you what to think. They can tell you what to think about.
