Please don't retweet this clip of Jacob Rees-Mogg saying:

"My view is the change of Leader requires a General Election"

..or you'll make him look like a hypocrite for backing Boris Johnson without a #GeneralElectionNow🗳️

There once was a spaceman called Musk,
Who hollowed the bird to a husk,
We migrated and flew,
To find friends old and new,
And now we are fans of the tusk 🦣

Here's your irregular reminder that:

Twitter was a multi-billion dollar company with thousands of employees.

Mastodon is a niche hobbyist product run by volunteers

The fact that we're being seen as a viable alternative to them is an admission that a federated, decentralized future is not only possible, but desirable.

Mastodon is not one thing, or one place. It's a network of many things and many places. We don't have a spokesperson (I mean, there's me. I'm the official spokesperson for 💯 of the fediverse, but beyond me there is no spokesperson) we don't have consensus on moderation or blocking or tools or what is good and what is bad. Some of us are professional SREs and Sysadmins, some of us aren't. Some of our instances have been around for 5+ years, some won't be here in six months.

And that's good! All of it, every last bit of it is good.

We're wrestling power away from the billionaire class, in real time, and reclaiming it for the People.
