So what is absolute madness about this policy from Twitter (which I'm sure the chief twit crafted himself) is that (a) I assume the point is to keep people from leaving Twitter and going to other platforms instead; and (b) I'm guessing that for many people, like me, this will be the final straw that causes them to officially leave Twitter.

adulthood means accepting the junk drawer will never be clean

Hello Mastodon! I'm Brian Klaas - an associate professor of global politics at University College London, a writer for The Atlantic, and host of the Power Corrupts podcast.

I'm Minnesotan.

I write a newsletter on Substack called "The Garden of Forking Paths."

I also wrote the first book on Trump's authoritarianism. My most recent book is "Corruptible: Who Gets Power and How It Changes Us."

And yes, that is a lemur on my shoulder. #Politics #Introduction #WelcomeToMastodon #Mastodon

@mark I appreciate the explanation! Will yours be available to android users? I wish you all the luck with it!
@wonkothesane Thank you! I use Tusky right now because someone recommended that over using the browser. I see I do not know the tech language for such things!
Elon Musk's team is seeking new investors for Twitter | Semafor

The managing director of Elon Musk’s family office reached out to potential investors this week.

@mark @ivory I apologize for my ignorance, but what is Tweetbot and what is Ivory? I've never used any type of software for Twitter or Mastodon. Or maybe I have and I just don't know I have 🤣
We who are rather new to Mastodon feel a bit like this calf, that I drew awhile back, eager to learn and explore and joyful and happy to be here.
Thanks for all who work to make Mastodon possible.
Thanks to all you moderators and those who handle technical details
Thanks to all you tooters and boosters.
Now, the other thing I loved was following accounts of farmers and agricultural extensionists from all over the world. Is there a #AgricultureMastodon? A #GlobalFarming Mastodon? A #SustainableAgriculture community of sorts? Ideally global in reach.
