Color me shocked that the man who did two Nazi salutes hired a “DOGE” employee who believed in eugenics, white supremacy, & racial segregation.

He’s resigned now—not because he’s embarrassed about being a Nazi—but because he got caught.

MAGAs gave access to all our private info to these fascists.😐

Frustrating!!! Arsenal will have to live with the fact that 80% of the teams coming to Emirates will play ugly, lack ambition, and frustrate! To be the champions we aspire to be, we must overcome this! But overall, happy with team performance! Roll on! #COYG #ArsenalFc
Stop hating on lazy people. We didn't even do anything.
All set for the final! #ARGvFRA

#Artemis1 has been loitering around the Moon for over 12 days now. In context the longest Apollo mission was 12 days from launch to return to Earth (Apollo 17).

I think humanity now has a deep spacecraft ready to explore.

My twitter followers are jumping ship. My engagement is dropping rapidly. They changed the algorithm to force feed me right wing accounts. And white supremacy, Islamophobia, & antisemitism on Twitter are being defended as valid points of view.

By contrast this Mastodon community is igniting robust dialogue, respectful disagreement, and offers little comfort to racists and bigots.

This is what Twitter could’ve been, and I’m really hopeful this is what Mastodon continues to be. Thank you all.❤️✊🏽

Twitter ends its ban on covid misinformation.
Doctors and public health officials say Musk’s decision is a ‘huge step backwards’ and will lead to more deaths https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/29/twitter-covid-misinformation-policy/ #journalism #media #twitter #tech #technology #musk #twittermigration
Twitter ends its ban on covid misinformation

The rollback of Twitter’s covid misinformation policy is just the latest pivot since Elon Musk took control of the company a month ago.

Today is my 1 month anniversary of signing up for Mastodon. A few observations—after spending 13+ years on Twitter:

•The Mastodon community is kinder & more focused on lifting one another up than tearing down.

•Mastodon is learning from Twitter's mistakes by including accessibility options, incorporating an edit button, & not centralizing everything

•Engagement is not dependent on clickbait or outrage, but genuine positive content.

None of the above are absolutes, but overall, glad I'm here.
