True to form, Starmer is backing nuclear power because it’s the worst and most expensive option available https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/06/05/true-to-form-starmer-is-backing-nuclear-power-because-its-the-worst-and-most-expensive-option-available/. Is there no bad policy that Starmer will not now endorse?

The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?

I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...

@parcel why limit users to 200 tracks? Or why not automatically remove the older tracks?

@sarahlehmann @jon I’m afraid it’s Jon who’s performing a spectacular miss here! Wake up! Almost all Western media is self censoring at best!

FediTips has moved!Dec 18, 2022

The reason Mastodon and the Fediverse is spread out on so many servers is it protects it from being taken over by anyone. Not even the richest can buy this place.

Centralised services like Twitter are incredibly easy to buy out. If you move from Twitter to another centralised service, sooner or later that will get bought out too.

The point of the Fediverse is to break this buyout cycle, to let people be permanently in control of their accounts. More info here:

Mastodon has cracked the top ten social networking apps in the App Store. For context, Signal is at 15.

Honestly moving to Mastodon from the bird site feels like I just switched to PBS after years of exclusively watching a reality TV show called, I don't know, EXTREME HATEFEST: ORGY ISLAND or something.

Like, yeah, of course it's going to be a little jarring but trust me it's better this way.

#JohnMastodon is proof that things *CAN* go viral here on Mastodon, but the key is that *YOU* are the algorithm. The reason that the John Mastodon meme showed up on other people's timelines is because so many users boosted the posts.

The lesson here is: please don't just favourite something if you really enjoyed it; BOOST it so that other people can enjoy it, too! This is the only reason why I bother to create as large a social graph as I can on Mastodon—to act as an amplifier. You can, too!❤️😉
