It seems appropriate that we thank @ruud @jeroen and others responsible for #moderation in mastodon.world instance.

We created our account here uninvited and from the very beginning we received a great #support.

On the very first day some Holocaust deniers tried to troll the account. The moderators reacted immediately and, which is very telling), we actually did not experience anything like this afterwords.

We also got #help when we had technical issues with account verification.

#thankyou

So @.joinmastodon got unbanned from Twitter.

This is the first tweet that they sent after the unbanning:

"As a company from eastern Germany, we know that building a wall to try and keep people from leaving isn't a good idea."

What a response!

@mgeist But will she be pro-consumer or just "yet another" Chair in the pockets of the Gov't and #BigTelecom?
The devil is in the details.
What Canada does NOT need is another sycophant in leadership. We have enough of those already.
@malwaretech Brilliant!
@Physicsj No surprise...hope you come back refreshed! You are one of the most enjoyable "follows"!
@mgeist Good! They should trash this piece of utter crap and refuse to pass it.
@malwaretech Then you should be in Canada! We have both - socialized medicine (slow though universal and free to all) and a huge need for cybersecurity (especially for small businesses)!
You probably can't earn as much here (but not necessarily) but the standard of living is higher and life is less.... stressful.
Work with the good folks at Citizen Lab!
@beerandbaking Such a brilliant book!! Read this about a year ago and the second book (which also won a Hugo Award) more recently. Such a fascinating mix of SF and political thriller.
Do follow up with "A Desolation Called Peace"!
#calgaryflames Despite their brutal record and complete lack of "compete" level, surprisingly they are still tolerably close to a playoff position.
Either the Pacific is REALLY BAD (it is) or the Flames are better than they seem (they are not).
Something has got to give.
