Shame on the Israeli Parliament for passing laws stripping their courts of power to block government decisions. This anti-democratic action sends the country down a dark path, indeed.

๐ŸŽ‰ Exciting news! #tootcommunity now has a fresh, new visual identity, celebrating our commitment to connecting everyone, everywhere. This transformation wouldn't have been possible without the talents of @andycarolan.

To add to the celebration ๐Ÿฅณ, we're giving away 3 custom profile picture commissions from Andy himself (https://ko-fi.com/andycarolan/commissions)! Want to get in on this? Just boost this post to enter the draw. We'll be picking winners randomly on July 27th. Spread the word and good luck. ๐Ÿ€

#TRBAM So glad to be headed back to DC for #TRBAM. #Maskup everyone!
Hey #TRBAM people. There's a pretty big #COVID19 wave in town, in case you hadn't heard. On behalf of those attendees for whom a viral infection could spell doom (I'm one of 'em), please #MaskUp.
Think the main difference between the two platforms is that on Twitter when you make a joke you get one haha and two death threats, whereas on here you get one haha and someone earnestly explaining the 6th century origins of the specific road that particular chicken crossed. Yet to decide which is more distressing.

Meet Eugen Rochko (@Gargron), founder of @Mastodon, who just got a profile in TIME magazine. I encourage you to really read the entire excellent interview, bc not only will you learn more about the ethos behind Mastodon, but you can also hear what itโ€™s like for an intelligent human being to talk about social media.

Thousands Have Joined Mastodon Since Twitter Changed Hands. Its Founder Has a Vision for Democratizing Social Media

Thousands of users have joined Mastodon since Elon Musk took control of Twitter. Mastodon's founder Eugen Rochko says it's been a vindication

If you're new to Mastodon like I am, you can use this tool to see if anyone you follow on Twitter is also here. I believe it does this by looking for Mastodon IDs in people's twitter profiles, or their screen names, so it may not find everyone. https://pruvisto.org/debirdify/

This is a web app that helps you find out which of the people you follow on Twitter are on Mastodon/in the Fediverse already and follow all of them easily.

2. I think some longer-term Fediverse users may be feeling a mix of sudden excitement and also what I might call digital displacement or digital realignment (smaller group of long-term users face sudden wave of newcomers reconfiguring social space). Norms may be changing with scale of user base. Curious to hear from longer users about this.
