George Aylett"Why should we help refugees"
Because THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS. They're not another species, it's not 'them or us'.. THEY ARE US.

5/ The old thing I loved is dying and there isn't a replacement. Mastodon isn't Twitter. It doesn't want to be, can't be, and shouldn't be. It can't replace it because it's not the same thing. I do believe I will keep finding things to love about Mastodon as time goes on and I get to know the community better here. I see a lot to like already and I'm glad it is its own entity and not a halfhearted clone.
But I do miss my Old Thing sometimes. The one that's dying. I wish it didn't end like this.
@auschwitzmuseum visited the site this year we were told in the tour to not look at the numbers but to look at the individual. Pick a shoe it belonged to a person not a number. I think everyone should visit aushwitz but also visit krakow to see more of the Jewish history
Auschwitz Memorial21 November 1942 | A transport of 726 Jews deported from #Westerbork in German-occupied #Netherlands arrived at #Auschwitz.
After the selection made by SS doctors 44 men and 35 women were registered in the camp as prisoners.
The remaining 644 people were murdered immediately in a gas chamber.

Qasim Rashid, Esq.Truly upsetting & I hope Democrats reading this run for local school board—because otherwise it will get worse for our kids.😳
The Berkeley County School District in South Carolina swore in 6 board members who were elected last week & endorsed by the right wing “Moms for Liberty.” They immediately fired the district’s first Black superintendent, fired the district’s lawyer, & banned CRT.

19 November 1943 | A selection took place in the female camp in Auschwitz II-Birkenau. 394 Jewish prisoners were selected. On the way to gas chambers, Bina Braun and Rosa Theberger, who tried to escape and hide, were shot.
The list of selected prisoners was signed by the camp commander SS-Untersturmführer Hössler. A copy of the list was stolen and turned over to the resistance. The picture shows the third page of with the Hössler's signature.
Robin the Mod (fka Josh)A gentle reminder to folks who are new to Mastodon. In solidarity with those in the disabled community who rely on screen readers, we ask that you:
* Add alt text/image descriptions when you post media
* Capitalize the first letter of every word in a hashtag #LikeThis
* Avoid emojis in your display name
UPDATE: So many great questions! Please check the replies to see if your question has been asked and answered ❤️

Andrew (Television Executive)Here's your irregular reminder that:
Twitter was a multi-billion dollar company with thousands of employees.
Mastodon is a niche hobbyist product run by volunteers
The fact that we're being seen as a viable alternative to them is an admission that a federated, decentralized future is not only possible, but desirable.
Mastodon is not one thing, or one place. It's a network of many things and many places. We don't have a spokesperson (I mean, there's me. I'm the official spokesperson for 💯 of the fediverse, but beyond me there is no spokesperson) we don't have consensus on moderation or blocking or tools or what is good and what is bad. Some of us are professional SREs and Sysadmins, some of us aren't. Some of our instances have been around for 5+ years, some won't be here in six months.
And that's good! All of it, every last bit of it is good.
We're wrestling power away from the billionaire class, in real time, and reclaiming it for the People.
