It's been a real busy day and I think most of you on mstdn.social has noticed we are almost an hour behind on the timelines..  

Past night around 11K new people joined mstdn.social via invite links and this was a little too much to handle  

So instead of running in circles, I have setup another public #Mastodon instance with the same rules as on mstdn.

To lighten the load on mstdn, perhaps some would care to migrate to the new instance?

Looking forward to getting my flu vaccination later today. I have no fear of needles and a definite concern about getting violently ill from a preventable disease.

PSA: please get vaccinated from influenza to help make yourself and everyone else safer. And while you're at it, get your damn COVID booster!

Six years is a long time for Herschel Walker to be in the Senate. Think twice, Georgia. This isn't a game.

So the new billionaire owner/CEO of a social media site with 450+ million users just told everyone to vote Republican tomorrow. Huh.
Elon Musk on Twitter

โ€œTo independent-minded voters: Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic.โ€
