Hi I'm Marlon, I'm a software dev who works with ruby and elixir. I fly RC airplanes when I'm not in front of the computer monitor. I have the cutest, most intelligent Cowboy Corgi named Potato. No, I don't think I'm biased.
.@drewharwell and I investigated the incident with the supposed Musk stalker and it appears to have absolutely nothing to do with the jet tracking account. The incident occurred 26 miles from the airport, a full day after ElonJet placed the plane in Los Angeles, and the alleged stalker had been monitoring and attempting to make contact with Grimes for years https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/18/details-of-musk-stalking-incident/ #twitterexodus #twittermigration #elonmusk #news
Musk blamed a Twitter account for an alleged stalker. Police see no link.

The incident last week underscored how Elon Musk’s personal concerns can influence his governance of a social media platform used by hundreds of millions of people.

Hello Mastodon!
If you're not a right wing extremist, I'm not sure what you're doing on Twitter any longer.

It's only a matter of time before the Mad King gets upset with you and bans your account for no reason.
Really gonna miss all that high quality discourse
Elon Musk is using his platform to advocate for the prosecution of Dr. Fauci—and his excited, aggrieved sycophants couldn’t be happier. I guess if Trump won’t rejoin the bird app, then Elon is determined to be just like him.
•266 years enslaved
•99 years of Jim Crow
•300% maternal mortality rate
•2% wealth of whites
•Explicitly denied GI Bill, FHA loans, & college access
•SCOTUS approved Black genocide in Buck v Bell
•Arrested 10X more than whites for same acts
AND THE LIST GOES ON!
Anti-Black racism from my fellow Asians is truly revolting. Anti-Black Asians should know better that proximity to white supremacy isn’t protection from white supremacy. You’re a means to an end & will be discarded when no longer needed.

Let’s be clear on what just happened here:

1. The richest man in the world bought Twitter

2. He gave info from Twitter to Matt Taibbi to spread right-wing talking points about Hunter Biden

3. Trump said those allegations were grounds to terminate the constitution

A former occupant of the White House wrote this, underscoring yet again why this malignant man must never again be near the levers of power: “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”

Given his long history of apologizing for Russia, Matt Taibbi is a terrible choice to explain the back story behind Twitter's (stupid) decision to prevent a shoddy NY Post story on "Hunter Biden's" "laptop" from going viral. He's an even worse choice to complain about the takedown of leaked Hunter Biden dick pics.

Having now been on #Mastodon for 1 month, a few observations:

- Mastodon makes me realize how much the #Twitter algorithm maximized user outrage to boost engagement for profit. Gross. Here, my feed is interesting & supportive.

- There's a culture of kindness - at least so far. It's extremely appealing & should be normalized on & offline.

- Beyond reactions to toots, people share songs, poetry & ask great questions. I can't remember the last time I found social media to be fun.
