I'm just curious to know, but why have you all left Twitter/X and joined the Fediverse? I'm sure we all have our reasons and stories, so I was just wondering.

Biden's White House invitation to Trump continues a tradition Trump shunned in 2020
Before he comes back for good on Inauguration Day, Donald Trump will return to the White House briefly at the invitation of President Joe Biden. That may make for an awkward encounter, especially given that, after Biden defeated Trump in 2020, the then-president offered no such White House invitation. He even left Washington before the inauguration, becoming the first president to do since since 1869. Biden has vowed to ensure a smooth transition. The meeting is set for Wednesday morning. It'll be the first time since 1992 that an outgoing president sits down with an incoming one whom he competed against in a campaign.
@luckytran Yes! Definitely! Mask wearing should be a lot more normalized, especially if your sick, any type of sickness, please wear a mask for the common good. It's annoying that now people are so worried or think I have covid when I show up wearing a mask. I just don't want to spread whatever I have.

@kissane This is so true! By repeating hateful messages, it only brings more attention to them and spreads it further, encouraging the ones who started these messages to keep going!

Galan Montgomery@kissane This got me thinking about the correct way to share information, without sharing the propaganda that's telling us to despair. And the best solution I can think of is to share stories that focus on the fight, and place the news in that context.
What we are doing, not what's being done to us.
The Nexus of PrivacyFrom Small Steps, Big Impact: Combating Hate Through Individual Actions -- it's phrased in terms of disinformation but applies to hate campaigns in general:
avoiding amplification
naming the motivations behind disinformation
avoiding posting the disinformation on other social media platforms
going on the offense and posting as much truthful information as possible
and using engaging content (graphics, memes, videos, etc.) that guarantees the spread of factual information.
Fifi Lamoura@kissane During the AIDS crisis most of what we were doing was tending and befriending. People on the outside saw the activism and there was lots of organizing among ourselves and with allies but the tend and befriend network of queer and straight people was the foundational layer. This isn't like organizing a corporate event or advertising campaign, you need to focus on care for those who need it first. There'll be plenty of work for the people who want to campaign too (as there was during the AIDS crisis) but any real movement comes out of taking emotional and physical care of each other.
