I like riding bikes far.
This was a good way to kill off lurkers that could not make the break. Good riddance.

So from what I can gather the people who paid $8 for blue ticks are getting mad at the people who used to have blue ticks but refuse to pay $8 to keep them, presumably because the people who paid $8 for blue ticks are at some level of consciousness aware that without being able to dubiously pretend you belong among the people who used to have blue ticks having a blue tick isn't worth anything.

OK.

I love how the #SanFranciscoDA called out #ElonMusk for his bullshit spread of misinformation on $8Chan over the murder of #boblee

The thing the #twitter refugees hate the most about #mastodon is the thing I love the most about Mastodon.
Who would have thought a #Discord server focused on "mutual love of guns, military gear and God" would be the center of such a giant security leak? /sarcasm (updated with Gift Link, thanks @BakerRL75 !) wapo.st/3UGyRmQ

@nockee @ClaudiaZahn @Thompson I don’t think he is taken by the propaganda. He is good mates with Murdoch, they have direct lines to Putin and probably Xi. They are interested only in further dividing and destroying any semblance of democracy so that an actual fascist government can seize power, abolish elections, create a new world order.
