Twitter refugee. Be nice to me. Australian. Leftie. Feminist. Opinionated but not evil about it. Living on stolen Awabakal land. #auspol #uspolitics #ukpolitics
You can tell how Star Trek: The Next Generation is set in a utopian future because every work meeting wraps up in at most four minutes with a decision about what the group is going to do, why they're doing it, who's in charge of doing it and who's supporting them in what ways, clearly communicated to all participants.

This was my "office" for 7 years back when I worked at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile. What a view, huh?

That's the Milky Way framed by the entrance corridor to the underground "residencia", where we sleep, eat, etc. I miss those views!

If you are on Twitter and want to find people who have opened accounts over here, someone made a little tool that scrapes Fediverse handles (and email addresses, since a lot of people drop the leading @) from the Twitter bios and display names of people you follow over there

We are no #Twitter. And we do not wanna become the next Twitter..

Mastodon has proven that social media can be fun and safe without bullies!

Engage in discussions without being harassed. Respect for each other is important here. You don't have to agree with everyone ofc but talking about it is so much better than name-calling for example.

I think we can show the world that social media can also be a positive factor in life instead of stress and a dark shadow

Love you guys ❤️

@mmasnick It's the relaxation of content moderation on Twitter that has everyone pulling up stumps there. Twitter can be toxic at the best of times, especially when you raise your head above the parapets on any contentious topic. Like politics, religion or sex.
@andrewstroehlein Where can one read your newsletter? #Twitterrefugee here. Women are already reporting increased harassment and it's being documented that there has been an increased in use of the N-word on Twitter. I'm still there but evaluating this site in case I need to crash and burn on Twitter.

I don’t have an unwanted pregnancy.

I’m not in Ukraine getting hit by Russian shelling.

I’m not facing ethnic cleansing in Tigray.

I don’t have a disability.

I’m not gay.

➡️ But I defend everyone’s rights.

✅ Because that’s what universal human rights are all about.

@islamicaudiobooks Thank you. I didn't want to be rude, being so new in here. 😞
@davidfield It's #twittermigration and your love of #selfhosing is just mildly disturbing. Welcome to the Heffalump place. 😎
