I’m wondering if y’all can help me build a community of trans people of colour on the tag #TransPOC as i miss the wonderful people i knew on a different animal themed app.
After seeing reports of racism and bad moderation I guess i’m just trying to find my people. Boosts very welcome.

In April 2013, the official Twitter account of Associated Press was hacked and tweeted that the White House was bombed. For the next few minutes the markets moved wildly and billions were wiped in market cap. FBI and SEC opened an investigation.

The exodus of users and advertisers was bad, but wait until most publicly traded companies realize how massively exposed they are due to Twitter's mere existence in its current form. This is not a problem they can solve by just leaving the platform. 🍿

Mastodon is really having a moment in mainstream news coverage. CNN, BBC, TIME, etc.

The influx of users will continue at an alarming rate. Remember to be welcoming, and kind, and positive, and helpful.

This isn't just an opportunity to improve the idea of social media, it's an opportunity to shine a wonderful light on #opensource.
