Lovely to meet you. Still very new here but, from what I have seen, I'm in awe.

About me. For more than a decade I have been involved in cutting edge projects in the field of Community Informatics, first as part of the team behind SENATUS private network and later, @mySingapore and @JapanCrisis.

Two years as liaison for @INTUG allowed me to see the extraordinary work being done online by the #EuropeanCommission.

Onward. A whole world awaits.

Journalists will never stick around this app long term sadly unless it adds quote posting. We desperately need it to communicate effectively, build on each others ideas, and add crucial context to posts. These are things replies simply do not accomplish. Also quote posting or reblogging does not = harassment! Tumblr, for instance, has had the feature since the beginning. We need it here now too 🙏🏻

@paulg elon is “smart” at pushing talented engineers and having a vision with electric cars and rockets. Socially—he is a moron.

@paulg Surprised to see Elon create such a heavy-handed policy. It makes me think he is seeing some worrying trends.

@paulg This is a private network we launched in 2008. Even then we knew that people would have accounts in many networks, thus the line up you see.

I haven't "left Twitter." I just don't want to keep using it while it's banning links to other sites. Plus given the way things are going, it seemed like a good time to learn more about Mastodon.

It soon became clear that the only way to make it a good revenue source was to gather data on users so that specific advertisers could target them. https://daily.jstor.org/whatever-happened-to-the-open-internet/

There may be a way out of corporate control of the internet, but it probably starts with money.

For the first time in my life I've gone private over on the other site. I don't know if I'll keep it that way, but I've seen too much bad faith nonsense going on, and it's just not worth dealing with right now.
