You don’t need to stay on Twitter & ‘fight’

How many people think you could talk someone out of their Ideas on #TruthSocial ? That's a hate-based space.
#Twitter today.
If you weren't there, hateful trolls would be attacking each other.

NO matter what the purpose, you are groveling to the Chief Turd's own values.

In Defense of the Twitter Quitter

You don’t need to stay on Twitter and ‘fight’

Phil's Takes

Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are Pump-and-Dump schemes, while others are Pyramid schemes. Others are just middlemen skimming off the top. Others are just standard-issue fraud.

Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

Alan Turing was a mathematician & cryptographer who was a leading code-breaker in the team that decrypted Nazi Germany’s Enigma machine during WWII. He inspired modern computing & what became AI.

Instead of being hailed as a genius & hero, Turing was convicted as a homosexual & forced to endure chemical castration. He died by suicide at 41 in 1954.

The British government didn’t apologize until 2009 & Queen Elizabeth II finally pardoned him in 2013. #history #science #HistoryRemix

As predicted - Twitter is now the fiefdom of a single person. Everyone should leave Twitter, and here is an explanation of why:

This Is What It Looks Like When Twitter Falls Apart

Must read article for all of us relatively new to #mastodon (especially coming from #twitter )

https://www.wired.com/story/mastodon-legal-issues-tipping-point/

[From WIRED @wired @amandahoover ]

"Some new users want Mastodon to be Twitter, and some Mastodon users are there because they’re over Twitter."

Mastodon Is Hurtling Toward a Tipping Point

As the niche, decentralized social networking platform rises in popularity, it faces rising costs, culture shifts—and potential legal risks.

WIRED
Mastodon lacks the surplus of idiotic takes that help build robust community on Twitter.
#Mastodon growth has been slowing after the surge that happened this week. #Newusers are joining at a rate of about 1500/hr after seeing it hit roughly 6000/hr during the peak surge. As Twitter continues to do wrong by users, promote fascism, and erode public trust in #journalism we have an obligation to fight back by encouraging others to join us here! #twittermigration #twitter

I've been told that The Guardian has suffered a "serious IT incident" which is affecting access to all its offices.

Staff are being told to work from home, and not to use VPN to log in to any systems... :(

Wishing the Guardian IT team well, especially at this time of year.
