Toots 🐘 💨 are my opinions only. Nine cubes. ⭕ Mi ankaŭ parolas Esperanton je la baza/meza-nivelo.

I'm thinking about moving my main account over to Shakedown.social for the Local timeline, but this account is from 2017, which means I won't be able to lord my faux authority/superiority over strangers. Choices, choices.

#Twitter has been a #Hellsite for years. #SpaceKaren just made it a Seventh Circle of Hellsite. And we're paying Satan's rent every time we visit or click those links.

Sure, the Bird needs to die in that fire as an object lesson to know-it-all billionaires and fawning dudebro Nazis. But it *really* needs to go because it's now far more dangerous to people not even there.

We. Can't. Fix. Twitter!

But we can starve it. By convincing everyone else we know still inside to leave and do the same.

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.

@jlori macOS has tab groups. Stash 'em, save 'em, and start fresh. You can always toggle back.
Twitter has stopped enforcing its covid misinformation policies

Twitter has quietly stopped enforcing its covid misinformation policies. This means the platform will no longer remove or label posts that contain misinformation about the virus.

EM: <tweets hate and muck>

Apple: pulls advertising from Twitter

EM: YOU'RE AGAINST FREE SPEECH.

Apple: No. We don't want to associate our brand with hate and muck. You're free to speak. We're free to walk away from it.

Note: Metatext is likely going to be in hibernation for at least a little while (see below). Wishing @metabolist a quick recovery.

In the meantime, I'm really enjoying using @tootapp, which is really a fantastic iOS app, really utilizing iOS animations, transitions, and design guidelines well. I can tell you that I think that "Toot!" is worth the $3.99 if you're someone who uses Mastodon multiple times a day.
