Attorney, Views are my own and not intended as legal advice 😁

Time for a proper #Introduction:

I'm a #healthcare policy analyst, advocate and blogger who focuses primarily on the #ACA (#AffordableCareAct), but I also write about #Medicaid, #CHIP and a lot of other U.S. healthcare system stuff. Last year I also gained some attention for #COVID19 data analysis.

During election season I also raise money online for #Democratic candidates.

You can follow my work (& even support it!) at https://ACASignups.net.

New #Twitter migrants: if you know how to run custom CSS on your browser, check out #MastodonBirdUI by @rolle . It looks much better than the default #mastodon UI, and can make the migration smother.

No “rate limits” here baby!!
Back now carry on
Is everyone else’s google search broken?

Welcome back to a bunch of people who started accounts on Mastodon in November then slunk back to Twitter hoping things wouldn't get worse.

Take my advice and just stay here next time! Uninstall the Twitter mobile app and install either Tusky (android) or Ivory (iOS) and start following people here. You won't need to go back!

I won't lie and say the transition is *painless*... it takes like... 72 hours and some clicking to get set up and used to it?

If I am understanding what I've read correctly, it is most important to follow and boost people from OTHER instances to help them reach other network nodes. And the impact of being boosted to be able to reach/find others is greater for people from smaller instances. #Mastodon #Networks #Boosting

After the Elon #Mastodon ban, all of us still with a Twitter account should - without breaking the new rules - ensure that #FriendsofJohn 🐘 is trending tonight.
