Morning folks. Nobody knows what’s gonna happen. Only thing left to do is make some calls and knock some doors for some of the dozens of winnable tossup races.

Day before the election, Apartheid Clyde who just took over Twitter says Vote Republican! You can’t make this up.
@justinhendrix omfg, are you serious
Pin the federated timeline to the advanced web view, embrace the chaos.

Little experiment comparing activity on #Mastodon and #Twitter.

One hour ago, I posted the Dutch news above (previous item in this thread) at the same time to my personal accounts on #Mastodon and #Twitter. Here's what happened in that hour:

* Mastodon, 24 favorites, 12 boosts

* Twitter, 12 likes, 6 retweets

That's nearly twice as much engagement on Mastodon. But I have more than 23 times more followers on Twitter than Mastodon.

For the otherwise sane folks on Twitter insisting that democracy isn't "on the ballot," I don't know what to tell them.

Chipping away at voting rights

Declaring all kinds of non-white non-straight non-Christian people out of bounds

Unwillingness to abide by democratic elections

Enabling--even encouraging violence.

The signs are all there.
Screaming sirens, not dog whistles.

#Protip: If you have two #Mastodon accounts and link to each of them respectively in your profile metadata using the profile URL, then they will verify each other. ✅
