This is an official petition recognized by the EU to finally get the rich to pay taxes.

This is the closest we’ll ever get to tax the ultra-rich, so use this chance!

Please boost for visibility.

In 2009, I join Twitter.
I make friends there.
I can see their posts.

Twitter has a Nazi problem.
I pre-emptively join Mastodon.
But I don’t really use it yet.

Elon Musk buys Twitter.
My friends start leaving.
I no longer see their posts.

I want to see my friends’ posts.

I find my friends again on Mastodon.
Now I have two apps to keep track of.
But I can see my friends’ posts again.

My instance admins get in a fight.
Friends’ instances defederate from mine.
I can no longer follow them, nor they me.
I am told about this by a friend who noticed.
There is no indication given by the software.
I am not notified of the connections I’ve lost.

I want to see my friends’ posts.

A friend invites me to their instance.
I accept, and migrate my profile across.
I re-follow missing friends I can remember.
And I can see my friends’ posts again.

A friend posts photos on her instance.
But those photos are not visible on mine.
Her profile appears, to me, devoid of images.
My new instance seemingly media-blocks hers.
There is no indication given by the software.

I just want to see my friends’ posts.

Am I wrong to want that?

I had stopped tweeting a couple years ago, partly because of the imagined pressure from the growing audience of my followers, partly because I imagined I would be adding to the noise in other's online lives. The first bit is only in my head, and the second bit even more of course. Maybe this move to a different platform might work as a reset for me

Trans rights are human rights.

Black lives matter.

No human is illegal.

Love is love.

Their body, their choice.

Science is real.

Kindness is everything.

P.S. If you started following me due to this post, PLEASE look at my profile and decide if it's for you.

Make sure general nerdiness, tabletop roleplay, and other related pursuits are the kind of content you want to see in your timeline.

Our values obviously align, but our interests/hobbies might not. No hard feelings if you unfollow. 😉
