@stux I was waiting on two scenarios whichever came first...
1) The inevitable collapse of Twitter due to lack of key role engineers/coders - plz correct me if I'm wrong but I estimate 2 to 3 weeks give or take... Or...
2) the orange turd was reinstated with his hordes of qanon, proud toddlers, et alt riding his coattails

Well, quoting the Cranberries "today's the day", the bird is dead, long live the Mastodon 🫑

@Jojofromjerz welcome to a more wholesome experience, yup you can gif and embed videos from YouTube, memes, etc. And yeah you can swear like a sailor if you wish, we're hear to hear and understand your frustrations, that's why we're not in the bird. BTW use # Hashtags A LOT that way you'll reach followers more effectively and topics that you want to touch or bring attention to. There are different servers too and following back people expands your outreach to like minded audiences. Have fun! πŸ˜‰

My theory is that it is possible to make real good money by owning Twitter. But it will be only through real evil shit. Through monetizing misinformation. Selling private data and spreading political propaganda algorithmically is a cash cow and people would pay a lot for it around the world.

This is what I thought Elon wanted to do. As a result I was/am terrified. To put my worry in perspective, I am more terrified of this possibility than a second trump term.

All,

The moment has finally arrived! πŸ₯³

@McCullohMD
and I have been hard at work for the past week putting together a Mastodon instance so that we can create a backup disability and chronic illness community.

It can be found here:

https://disabled.social

For now, we have set up a terms of service, privacy policy, rules and best practices.

I have plans to set up a Twitter space to go through each of these with the disability community directly to add/subtract/reword things.

disabled.social

A place for people who are chronically ill, mentally ill, disabled, and friends/families/allies to come together, meet, share knowledge and random banter, and just about anything else.

Mastodon hosted on disabled.social

The rate of change continues to accelerate, and many people continue to think that change will not happen.

Tomorrow is rapidly approaching.

From #NewZealand, a look at the many benefits of a proposal to cut the speed limit in #cities - not just reduced deaths, but less pollution, less driving and less carbon emissions https://theconversation.com/lower-speed-limits-dont-just-save-lives-they-make-nz-towns-and-cities-better-places-to-live-194448 #News
Lower speed limits don’t just save lives – they make NZ towns and cities better places to live

Despite claims that lowering speed limits will harm the economy, evidence suggests journey times are hardly affected. And beyond reducing the road toll, there are health and climate benefits, too.

@cubeofcheese @thepoliticalcat

1) on main feed of Twitter, upper right corner, tap on your picture
2) a menu will slide from the left
3) scroll up and click on Settings & Support
4) another menu will slide down
5) scroll and tap on Settings and Privacy
6) tap security and account access
7) tap security
8) activate additional password protection
9) return to settings
10) tap privacy and safety
11) tap Audience and tagging
12) activate Protect your Twitts

And that should lock your account.
