@sp6ina @blaine You're free to say whatever you want. You aren't free to make everyone listen to you. That's just an incredibly entitled definition of "free speech."

And nobody can restrict your freedom to think any thought you want. So what exactly is the problem?

Currently in Málaga 🇪🇸 and came across this young couple performing to raise money for Ukraine. Absolutely joyful scene, quite a crowd had gathered.

Police came and stopped them, took their amp and issued fines. Crowd started booing and throwing money in their collection box en masse. Quite a few people started crying. Policeman led them away and gave crowd the finger. It was all a bit heartbreaking to be honest 😢💔

@adamdavidson I'm still in the mode of looking at who's following me so I can follow back folks I know. I'm eager to move to reading the home feed that results more.

Well ...... who expected this...

POLL: If you've been on #Mastodon for over a week and used it each day, how likely are you to go back to using Twitter on a regular basis?

Boost for a larger sample size please.

TIP! If you don't want to see something on your #timeline, you can click #settings on the web app, then #Filters and Add new filter.
Enter the Keyword, where you want to filter it from and ADD NEW FILTER.
Hey presto, gone!
For instance, I was annoyed at seeing so many #Tweets copied on my timeline so I added a #filter for '@ RT'. Now I don't see those cross platform tweets in #toots but I can still see other content from that account!
Thanks to @steveumstead for showing me! #MastodonTips

Indeed this is a topic about which every Earth citizen should be well-informed - and not just via the media.

1/ OK.

I'm trying an experiment.

I'm going to try to create a thread on Mastodon -- which may be old news to some, but isn't to newbie-me.

So here goes.

It's about what the loss of Twitter takes with it.

RT @CopernicusECMWF: 🌡️ Warmest October on record came right after the warmest summer on record.

Among all the drivers the #heatwaves are disproportionately affecting us, getting stronger and longer.

The #climate in Europe is changing in a dramatic way.

"CIRCLE’s state-by-state analysis shows that young Americans backed Democrats by wide margins in the Pennsylvania Senate race (70% to 28%), New Hampshire Senate race (74% to 23%), Michigan governor's race (62% to 36%), and Wisconsin governor's race (70% to 30%)."

Remember, just as soon as #BirdFuhrer's fixed Twitter then we all get brain chips & he's flying us to Mars.

Who can see your toots? Whose toots can you see? Found this clarifying graphic at https://axbom.com/mastodon-tips/

The best way to increase everyone's feed diversity is to go follow interesting accounts on other instances :)

This is a helpful overview of why the search feature is intentionally limited

What if we call these record breaking temperatures in the UK a "heatwave" given how much hotter it is compared to normal?

Met Office forecaster: “So we are way, way above where we should be for this time of year.”

Oh, the Irony: Climate Change-Related Catastrophes Put Green Energy Infrastructure in Peril
