I’m just here to try to reach the geeky kids, maybe LGBTQIA, maybe alt, maybe on the spectrum, maybe just a little weird - and tell them that you can be 40 and have a Star Wars living room, and you can decide to not have kids and still have a life full of meaningful relationships and not regret it at all, and you can be a gamer and learn work skills from it, and you can be single but still do everything and travel the planet, you can be covered in tattoos and piercings and still be a successful business leader & public speaker, you can know trans rights are human rights and still be retired from the military, you can do whatever you want to as long as you show up every day and put in the work and put up a good fight - don’t let the people around you, society, your family, crappy friends, lousy spouses, what “they” told you, or the entropy of it all drag you down. Life can be really unfair, but learn your own personal battles, find your own family, and find meaning in the goofy world.

Think he’ll actually step down now as Twitter’s CEO? I actually think so, but only because he’s miserable trying to do that job and failing so badly at it.

Bear in mind that this isn't a clout-based network! There is no algorithm here, and follower numbers won't make your posts appear higher on any timelines.

It is totally fine to have small follower numbers, you don't have to prove anything on here

Arbitrary suspensions aside, it is frankly outrageous that Twitter (even now - just tested it again with a bio link) labels Mastodon links as malware.

"This is not permitted by our content policy" would be one (stupid) thing to say to the user.

But falsely telling the user that a third party site is going to harm their computer is spreading misinformation and undermining trust. It's deeply, deeply wrong.

Remember - there’s no algorithm here. Favs are nice but boosts are useful. Boost more than you did on Twitter.

Attention flock: Please let all your Mastodonian friends know that the deity formerly known as TheTweetOfGod has switched universes, moved here, and brought his wit, wisdom, and unceasing need for more followers with him.
