Well, it can't be worse than Twitter, right?
CNN:
@drewharwell "Oh, you want an explanation? You were MEAN TO ME!"
- Elon
Statement from Washington Post Executive Editor Sally Buzbee:
Ironically, the Great Banning is the first time that Mastodon has felt like it's fulfilling the role for me that Twitter once did—a place to keep up-to-date on a fast-moving event, where everyone is talking about the same thing
@bulwarkonline 1st they destroy the trust in the courts, I guess the military was inevitably next
@RollingStone because, you know, free speech

Remember: Twitter is Elon's company, he has the free speech and free association right to run it pretty much however he wants and to ban people for petty narcissistic reasons.

And we have the right to laugh and point at his ridiculousness and at the free-speech pretenses of his gullible fans.

@luckytran I don't see a lot of traction, unfortunately.
@Euan_MacDonald No terror attacks against civilians? Weird.

The Holocaust did not begin with killing; it began with words.

Genocides do not start with mass murder. That's where they end up.

Genocides & other mass atrocity crimes begin with words - specifically, with powerful people dehumanizing a minority.

Once they are seen as less than human, anything is possible, even mass murder.
