Neither jolly, nor English

My brain runs fast, but my attention span is a little faulty. Home is wherever there's water deep enough to swim in.

Interested in everything, but particularly:

#languages, #history, #politics, #travel, #maps, #photography, #nature, #films (#movies), #pratchett & #gaiman

I hope NORAD have set up a #Santa tracker account here on Mastodon. Would hate to see #Elon ruining #Christmas for millions of kids by nuking their #Twitter account on Christmas Eve to save "doxxing" St Nick.
So if you want to deactivate your Twitter account but don't know how apparently the simplest way to do it is to mention @elonjet?

Noticing a lot of weekend chatter about helping new people onboard and I literally cannot stress the enough - the experience changes entirely once you follow about 200 people.

Then your home timeline fills up, and you find more people to follow/weed out some of the randos you followed at first.

This place is NOT going to get "busier" if you do not follow people; there are so many posts going on that you are not seeing.

Use "Federated" and "Local" find ppl; follow liberally. It works.

There is a widely held belief, or fear, that rejection of "elitist" institutions & liberal norms is a strategy with no downside - a cost-free means to rally alienated populist voters. This week's US results suggest that, even in a deeply polarised country, that's not true

Horses are weird. A large dog that's also a car? That doesn't sound right.
