*10s of millions sign up for Threads shortly after launch*

Australian health minister is useless
Today’s media reports of the Health Minister ignoring the advice of his own expert health committee on vaping policy, is evidence that the only thing he cares about is protecting the Australian Government’s addiction to tobacco taxes.
#Tips for the best ways to access #Mastodon:
Using Mastodon on mobile? I highly recommend using an app, and not the official one. My personal favourite is Woolly for iOS @woollyapp, many other great ones exist like Ivory or Ice Cubes.
Using Mastodon in your web browser? The native interface isn’t great, try elk.zone or phanpy.social on both mobile and desktop.
Using a computer and want an app? Woolly, Mona and Ivory are great options.
