How do you spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel. The kindest person in the room is often the smartest...

Twitter's new policy will likely shut down thousands of #EMGTwitter emergency alerting and emergency management accounts.

Every time you reduce the methods of communication in an emergency you risk human lives and property damage.

TLDR: Mastodon is very white, male, status quo, global north, and designed in a way to limit its potential for use in social movements.

Mastodon feels very different from Twitter, deliberately. It is truly like Live Journal. It is about people who are happy with their social circle and who think of virality and discoverability as a problem. They just want to communicate with the people they know, and limit other things. Ironically, it is more like a private gathering than a public space.

It’s the morning after a major snowstorm & -12°F & MNDOT has plowed all its freeways & roads but not its pedestrian bridges over I94.
