Might I suggest that Twitter refugees include their generalized location in bios? The process of reestablishing a network will result in making new connections and you may not always know someone's location.

Heads up!

In the last few days, two separate people contacted me to ask me to "move" my followers from the bird site to a social network they were planning. They want to find investors by saying I'm on board and lure me with money.

I told them both no.

This makes me think that other "big accounts" over there are also being contacted. Hope they will let us know too.

No one is paying me a penny to encourage migration to Mastodon. I love to lift up voices and have interesting conversations.

BREAKING NEWS: In what I believe is the most widespread election monitoring effort it has ever undertaken, the DOJ Civil Rights Division just announced that it will have officials in the field monitoring the polls in 24 STATES on Election Day. This is huge. This is the DOJ being true to its mission. You can find the list of jurisdictions that will be monitored here:

So many replies are like: "Lol, you're not fooling me. No way you wrote a book. But I don't get the joke."
