You voted for this slogan and now it's here! We have a new batch of super nice t-shirts (they're 100% organic cotton with a thick, soft feel) with a cute screen printed design from @dopatwo. "My friends are not for sale"—because your connections to other people are more than a bargaining chip for big tech companies to keep you from leaving them.

Trump supporters, when people cut you out of their lives because you support their marginalization and abuse and murder, they aren’t ending your relationship over politics; they’re recognizing that you ended it over politics and are reacting accordingly. It’s that thing you say you love—personal accountability. Live with your choice.

NPR is once again publishing irresponsible misleading garbage.

An entire strain of the flu was not eliminated "thanks to covid" it was eliminated because everyone collectively masked and took measures that halted the spread of airborne disease.

What to know about Threads

There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today.

Mastodon Blog
Make no mistake, this is huge for Mastodon. Currently people have to choose between X, Mastodon, and Threads, and network effects play a dominant role in that choice. If we can say, you can access all the folks that went to Threads from a Mastodon account, that makes it a far more attractive option given all of its other perks 😉
