Bright blessings on the #Solstice to you all. The wheel of the year turns, and many of us will be waking up to longer days in a new home in the fediverse.

I'd like to thank you all for the interactions and positivity I've found since coming here.

We're halfway out of the dark, love and light to you.

Save our environment and kill Jacob Rees-Mogg’s Brexit bill

We worked for decades to safeguard our land, air and water – we cannot let this government rush through a bill which seeks to undo this, writes Stanley Johnson

Here's your irregular reminder that:

Twitter was a multi-billion dollar company with thousands of employees.

Mastodon is a niche hobbyist product run by volunteers

The fact that we're being seen as a viable alternative to them is an admission that a federated, decentralized future is not only possible, but desirable.

Mastodon is not one thing, or one place. It's a network of many things and many places. We don't have a spokesperson (I mean, there's me. I'm the official spokesperson for 💯 of the fediverse, but beyond me there is no spokesperson) we don't have consensus on moderation or blocking or tools or what is good and what is bad. Some of us are professional SREs and Sysadmins, some of us aren't. Some of our instances have been around for 5+ years, some won't be here in six months.

And that's good! All of it, every last bit of it is good.

We're wrestling power away from the billionaire class, in real time, and reclaiming it for the People.
