@jayarnold I wrote a piece on this. Mastodon Is Not Hard: https://medium.com/@infospace/mastodon-is-not-hard-bb8625245754
If you enjoy someone's post on #Mastodon go ahead and click the star. If someone tells you that's meaningless because there's no #algorithm, ignore them. Sure, boost the post too if you want others to also see the post, but don't think telling someone you like what they posted is somehow unimportant. In real life I don't tell someone, "good job," or "well said," or "I love that," for the sake of some algorithm, I do it because I'm human and they are too. It's fundamental to being truly social.
@freemo I have some empathy for the situation Eugen finds himself in, but caving to Nazis is never a good idea (not to mention, never the ethical choice).
26 November 1942 | The German ship S.S. Donau left Oslo, Norway, carrying 532 of Norway’s Jews, en route to the Auschwitz camp where they arrived on 1 December.
A total of 772 Norwegian Jews were deported for extermination. 26 of them survived the war.

Elon Musk plans to reinstate nearly ALL previously banned Twitter accounts — to the alarm of activists and online trust and safety experts. The decision will have dangerous consequences, particularly for vulnerable communities. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/24/twitter-musk-reverses-suspensions/ #twitter #twittermigration #tech #technology #elon #TwitterMigrate
Just a WTF observation along with a long rambling post follows.
I found it fascinating that, from a behavioral perspective, the despicable human nature to attempt to profit on anything, everyone and everything just seems to disappear and fade away instantly with regard to this particular topic...
March 2022 During reconstruction efforts of Notre-Dame de Paris, French archaeologists announced discovery of a lead sealed sarcophagus of "remarkable scientific quality" that potentially predates the layer of 18th century church floor layer it was under.
The Internet "lights up" with interest with speculation about who was entombed “forever” beneath an 800-year-old holy site.
On April 14 Archeologist announce plans to open the sarcophagus on Easter day, Sunday, April 17th 2022 after already having broken the lead seal with an endoscopic camera to peek inside the sarcophagus and finding parts of skull, a pillow of leaves, fragments of textiles, and several other contents and objects.
Also on April 14, Elon Musk made an unsolicited offer to purchase the company; Twitter's board initially responded with a "poison pill" strategy to resist a hostile takeover, but unanimously accepted Musk's buyout offer of $44 billion on April 25.
Now the Internet, unfortunately known as a never-ending source of revenue for anyone and everybody posting click-bait about what was found in their grandma's old cookie jar and what their kid just left in the toilet goes wild on what was discovered and what yet may be discovered inside the unopened tomb.
April 17th 2022 (Easter Sunday) comes to pass.
The Internet *crickets*
Since late October 2022 after the deal closed, the dead-bird site has accelerated its efforts to reinstate the vilest of grifters, traitors and other dark creatures spreading misinformation, and horrid videos of mass murders as well as other violent crimes against humanity and society.
The news updates and posts regarding the sarcophagus simply stop appearing on the Internet on and after Easter (A few older articles are reposted with later dates but nothing new is forthcoming).
Even the penny grifters going for cheap click-bait revenue don't take advantage of the story and try to make a few bucks lying about what was or was not found..
I find the episode and apparent lack of collective knowledge to be very weird given similar events in the past few decades. Heck, Geraldo hyped up a television event back in the 80s when they dusted off some Al Capone Scuttlebutt and opened an abandoned cellar in Chicago.
There is absolutely no need to spin this up into a new conspiracy theory. I was bored and the Twitter interweave came as a funny coincidence.
Clarifications or factual corrections are always welcome in the comments. Enjoy! Pictures of the contents after the Easter opening would be a plus if anyone has any. No pictures of demons please. I have a weak constitution. ;)

Birdsite
Elongated Muskrat releasing all the suspended accounts from the naughty vault sounds just like the plot of many a fantasy film/novel where the evil sorcerer unleashes an army of the undead / evil spirits...
On the positive side: It never tends to end too well for the evil sorcerer.
That said, much bad stuff also has to happen till we get to that point.
Blegh...
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
