Amazing that only a couple of years after we stood on our doorsteps and clapped nurses, they're having to strike. The Tories are utter utter bastards.

A ‘town square’ cannot be owned by a billionaire. That’s called a mall, and malls suck.

Some people coming over from the bird site seem to be annoyed at Mastodon’s inability to cope sometimes, the glitchy apps and rather convoluted federated system. But that’s the trade off for a horizontal, non-commercialised entity. This place is run by the users. It’s more like co-operative housing - with all its glorious DIY mentality on show - than a 5-star condo and that’s the whole point.

The whole idea of the town square is that it belongs to the town. No one should be able to buy it. And honestly, they can’t.

Twitter isn’t really the town square, any more than Facebook is or MySpace was.

We are the town square. It goes where we go. No one can buy that.

Seeing Mellor tonight in #Shoreditch in what is the first proper gig in ages (since lockdown). I don’t care if they suck, just being in a live music venue will rock hard enough.

@js_eskau I'd use a few more choice four-letter words, but yes, otherwise bang on!
