#ElonMusk tried to buy #twitter because he became the richest person in the world through #astroturfing on #Reddit and twitter and wanted to control the entire supply chain for his #selfhypingmoneytrain.
And I should add- I think this is early evidence that there is no technological reason alone that hashtag based social movement actions can’t emerge and find their own dynamics on here. If things like #BlackLivesMatter don’t happen on Mastodon it is because we have failed to create a culture that lifts it up here and welcomes it, rather than some sociotechnical reason.
RULES FOR A REASONABLE FUTURE
ONE'S EMPLOYMENT STATUS SHOULD NOT EXCLUDE THEM FROM:
- EATING WELL & DRINKING CLEAN WATER
- A HOME WITH HEATING, COOLING & ELECTRICITY
- HEALTHCARE AS A HUMAN RIGHT
- OWNING ADEQUATE CLOTHING
- ACCESSIBLE FREE INTERNET, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION & EDUCATION
- LIVING A FULFILLED LIFE

Just another friendly PSA to #twittermigration folks who intend to stay for keeps and "leave" the birdsite:

1. switch account email to anything but your main inbox, uninstall app etc. disable all notification.

2. Download your data. There may be good memories and memes in there.

3. Deactivate, reactivate your account or use an online tool to delete your tweets.

4. Populate your profile with your Masto info.

5. Scramble your password and walk away.

Place a waypoint rather than vanish.

People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!
