So I guess it wasn't a hoax.
GOP operative Jesse Benton found guilty of funneling Russian money to Donald Trump's campaign.

(I was being sarcastic. I already knew it wasn't a hoax)
The collapse of Twitter for (basically) self-inflicted reasons makes a strong case for building online infrastructure structured as a non-profit or public utility.
People rely on these platforms for public information, use them for democratic debate and many invest their livelihoods in them.
These platforms are too important to public safety, peoplesβ livelihoods and democracy to leave in the hands of eccentric billionaires or the whims of stock markets.
Small #FediTip: if you encounter a message or thread that is in any way useful to you, bookmark it straight away.
Since the fediverse doesn't have full text searches, it will be very difficult to find that particular thing again a few days later. Especially if you cannot remember who posted it or it has no hashtags.
Periodically review your bookmarks to do something with them and you should be set.
