SelzeroI'm British so have never heard of a "DEI hire". They make it sound like it's about hiring people that are not qualified, so I can only assume it stands for Don Jr, Eric, and Ivanka.
Eric TopolIt is despicable that the Covid vaccine manufacturers are going to charge more than $110/dose for the new XBB.1.5 boosters when available in mid-September.
The US government previously paid ~$25/dose, supplied free of charge, and subsidized these companies with untold $ billions.
I wish there was still a place I could publicly shame Spirit Airlines for their incredibly abysmal performance in the face of equipment-related (i.e. their fault) delays today. They truly need and deserve a good public shaming.
Courtney Heard 🇨🇦If there was one piece of advice I could give to new Mastodon users who are finding their feeds quiet or boring, it is to follow as many people and hashtags as you can. This is not Twitter; there is no algorithm, it is not going to fill your feed with stuff it thinks you like. You have to curate it yourself. Once you do, though, it's so much more vibrant and rewarding than Twitter has been for a year. #TwitterMigration #Twitter
FediTips has moved!If you're transferring your Mastodon account to another server, don't use the "Archive Request" button for transfers.
This button is not used in the transfer process, it's only there for you to download a copy of your data for personal use. The archive produced by this button cannot be uploaded to Mastodon.
There's a step-by-step guide to the full transfer process (including transferring followers, follows, mutes, blocks and bookmarks) at https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server.

MASTODON ADMINS:
To bulk block accounts, go to Moderation -> Accounts. Set 'Location' to Remote. Search for a Display Name of "Mastodon". Then you can bulk suspend from there.
I got tagged in my first bitcoin scam spam posts on Mastodon today... feels like a milestone!
(Reported and blocked both accounts, in case anyone feels like they can actually make money that way)
