I am an avid dog agility competitor, a news-hound (real news from professional sources), a Special Olympics coach, and I follow politics closely.

My background is in media, marketing, and especially change management. I can tell you from long professional experience that Elon Musk is not doing it right. LOL

Dear all: If your Mastodon instance has a Donate button, please do. As others have pointed out, some of the people running these servers are getting whacked with large hosting bills.

I'm on Mastodon.social and the donation page is here: https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors

There were two notable moderation incidents on mastodon.social and mastodon.online in the past 24 hours that I would like to address. In the first, a post was wrongfully removed due to a report claiming it contained a dogwhistle, and in the second, a person was wrongfully suspended due to a report claiming it's an impersonator. Both were undone and apologies issued.

These companies all made abortion-friendly gestures, but still donated to anti-abortion candidates who would make laws:
- Eli Lilly
- Amazon
- AT&T (who also bankrolled OANN)
- Meta (Facebook, etc.)
- Citibank
- Comcast (of course)

A quick note of something that may be important for people to know: I already noted that DMs here are a bit sketchy security wise, but (THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT): if you mention someone else's account in a DM, Mastodon, yoinks them into the conversation.

So, you know, if you think you're talking about someone behind their back, you might be doing it to their face.
