@ap The nurses deserve better pay and benefits. Like with every strike, those who profit off of the labor of workers have the money to give better pay and benefits. Those who don't pay their workers enough disrupt the services, they put their workers in such awful conditions they were forced to strike.

We know the hospitals can afford it, they pay scabs 4x the wages of the nurses.

Nurses want to be given the resources and support to care for their patients.

Oh hell yeah. @mozilla is launching a Mastodon instance in early 2023! I’m very excited for this. Mozilla is really good at what they do. Firefox has over 200M monthly active users, and with any luck they’ll build better support for the fediverse into Firefox itself. Mastodon will greatly benefit from easy to use professionally run instances that can handle massive scaling https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-launch-fediverse-instance-social-media-alternative/

.@drewharwell and I investigated the incident with the supposed Musk stalker and it appears to have absolutely nothing to do with the jet tracking account. The incident occurred 26 miles from the airport, a full day after ElonJet placed the plane in Los Angeles, and the alleged stalker had been monitoring and attempting to make contact with Grimes for years https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/18/details-of-musk-stalking-incident/ #twitterexodus #twittermigration #elonmusk #news
Musk blamed a Twitter account for an alleged stalker. Police see no link.

The incident last week underscored how Elon Musk’s personal concerns can influence his governance of a social media platform used by hundreds of millions of people.

I don't think journalists (in general) -- and certainly not the organizations they work for -- fully understand the threat Musk represents to the future of free expression and journalism itself.

Begging him to reinstate the banned accounts is pure folly. It is bended-knee supplication to a sociopath who now controls a powerful media company. But the power of his company depends in no small degree on keeping journalists there.

Leave. Now.

Why can't you see people's follows? I'm trying to follow a good chunk of people so I can have posts on my home page, but it blocks seeing follows who aren't on this server.
