Chris TrottierSo @.joinmastodon got unbanned from Twitter.
This is the first tweet that they sent after the unbanning:
"As a company from eastern Germany, we know that building a wall to try and keep people from leaving isn't a good idea."
What a response!

I am still learning my way around Mastodon, but here's my #introduction.
I worked for 20 years as a journalist in all sorts of forms: reporter, editor, social media person, and so much more. Now I manage social media for a scientific publisher, a job that draws on my skills from journalism.
