#Cycling, #jazz, Music and a few other things. I hallucinated I was riding with a Mastodon on my first ultracycling race. RAAM solo 2016, TransAM 2019

42 years ago today - what an outstanding line up

In the end - oh, so ironically - we'll owe Elmo a sort of "thank you". He plunged a stake into the algorithm's heart.

The world needs an information crossroads public space. But - we now grasp - no one can own it. No individual, no corporation, no country - NO ONE.

The #fediverse is the future.

Twitter Is Dead; Long Live Mastodon!

Elon Musk and his pals deliberately destroyed Twitter. The joke is already on them. Mastodon has risen. Long live Mastodon!

How To Live BULLSHIT-FREE
Guessing it’s an organized reporting effort by the far right and Twitter no longer has the staff to do the work to understand this. Since the CEO talks directly to grifter Andy Ngo about who to ban, who knows though.

Elon Musk appears to have out-sourced decisions about who to ban from Twitter to the platform’s right-wing extremists https://theintercept.com/2022/11/29/elon-musk-twitter-andy-ngo-antifascist/

This last week, at the request of right-wing extremists and in response to platform manipulation, Twitter has banned the accounts of @chadloder, @VPS_Reports, @CrimethInc, and @efjbgc.

This article, written by me and @robertmackey, quotes heavily from Mastodon, and embeds a Mastodon post

Left-Wing Voices Are Silenced on Twitter as Far-Right Trolls Advise Elon Musk

Elon Musk appears to have outsourced decisions about who to ban from Twitter to the platform’s right-wing extremists, like Andy Ngo.

Shout out to the mods on sfba.social, and in general to all the mods in all the federated servers.
You're doing a terrific job, I remember when I first tried Mastodon a few years ago, I would run into a lot of rubbish and scammy posts. Now it feels a lot cleaner and I'm finally confident to recommend this to family!

Is it me or or is Mastodon smashing it now? So much good vibes and content.

2005: Rupert Murdoch paid $580m for Myspace.
2009: he sold it in $35m.

2008: Bebo was sold for $850m, to AOL. The founders later bought it back for $1m. It was regarded as one of the worst deals ever made in the dot-com era.

2013: Yahoo paid $1.1bn for Tumblr. 2019: they sold it in $3m.

Elon Musk paid $44bn for Twitter. If history has taught us anything it's that this isn't going to end well… when there wasn't a viable business model in the first place.

It’s unreal he responds to Andy Ngo at all.
I found https://movetodon.org/ today and it’s the best tool I’ve encountered yet for quickly rebuilding your Twitter following list on Mastodon, without manual imports or the like. (Thanks much @Tibor!)
