Dan GillmorI keep saying journalists should leave Twitter and use Mastodon, which is better for them in every way. At TechDirt I've posted a somewhat lengthy why-and-how: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/01/04/journalists-and-others-should-leave-twitter-heres-how-they-can-get-started/
Qasim Rashid, Esq.A quick reminder that law enforcement *responds* to crime, but a living wage, food and water security, accessible healthcare, and public education *prevent* crime.
If you want safer communities, invest in people, not punishments.
Chris TrottierLike it or not, it should no longer be assumed that "volunteers" are running your instances.
The Mask Group, which now runs three large instances "has raised over US$50 million from private and institutional backers"—their words not mine.
There's going to be a massive land grab of all these big instances. There will be lots of merging and acquiring too.
My advice is that you all become *very* aware of who owns your instance and why.
Get to know your admins—make sure their values align with your own.
If you don't want to put your social media life in the hands of strangers, then self-host your own instance.
To everyone using mastodon.cloud and mstdn.jp: remember, you're not locked into those instances.
If you want, you can migrate elsewhere.
This is not Twitter—you have a choice regarding where your home will be on the Fediverse.

@ADHDefy Accurate!
Zack WhittakerThis is enormously fucked up.
Per NBC4 NY reporter Sarah Wallace on the bird site: A mom was kicked out of Christmas Rockettes show at MSG-owned Radio City after being tagged by *facial recognition* technology, which identified her as someone who works a law firm involved in a suit against a restaurant now owned by MSG.
"I don’t practice in New York. I’m not an attorney that works on any cases against MSG," she said.
@charlotteclymer Any government official should be required to release tax returns. If they can't manage their lives, how can we expect them to manage our government?
