Letting Trump back on #Twitter could actually result in Twitter being banned from the app stores if they don't like it. Google and Apple have banned other companies, like the right-wing lameduck social media rip offs, from being allowed in the app store. Such a decision could effectively kill Twitter if it came down to it. Can't use it on the app store, you got nothing, your dead in the water. Its a really bad business choice, so #Musk will probably do it.

‘Surveys have shown that many abusive bosses actually think their strong-arm tactics serve the greater good – Musk certainly believes his employees must work long hours if they want to achieve great things. Research has consistently found that this doesn’t work: people working for bad or abusive bosses tend to be less productive’

The Elon Musk effect: have we reached our limit with awful bosses?

Twitter’s billionaire owner may think his tactics will leave him with committed employees. The evidence suggests otherwise, says André Spicer of the Cass Business School at City, University of London

Ok next:

5. If you are on a larger Instance, consider moving to a medium-small one that is run by a responsible admin who has signed the Mastondon Server Convenant.

This does two things:

☑️ Empties a seat on those big, more known instances for newbies
☑️ Distributes the load of current users out

As @hollie put it so well:

"Mastodon is a bunch of islands that can talk to each other. The smaller and more spread out we are, the easier things are to moderate. Horizontal scaling FTW! "
