@DrPsyBuffy If there's a sensible path through this, I don't know what it is.

COVID-19 has been politicized since Donald Trump first perceived it as a threat to his re-election prospects. So what are you supposed to do? Not talk about it? Even when this *should* be seen as a public health issue?

It'a madness.

Want to know what the immunodegeneration of our kids look like in the very present?

"One or two children under the age of 10 die as a result of strep A in typical winter, but five children in England and one in Wales have already lost their lives this season."

As I stated on MSNBC: To the Neo Nazi Andrew Anglin that Elon Musk just let on Twitter "Give me the money I won in my judgement you deadbeat NAZI!" Plus MUSK is intentionally normalizing a Nazi. As I made clear: Elon Musk is no friend of the USA

@alaric @DataDrivenMD Exactly. As I’ve said before, people rationalize their staying as some noble act when, in fact, they like it there. The followers, the attention, and the immediate feedback. If there was ever a place to boycott, Muskrat’s is it.

@alaric @DataDrivenMD @jdp23 Well, I’m an old boomer and no techie. I got on easily.

No one is better or funnier than Out-of-fucks-Obama

He’s also been talking about issues that are of great importance to the people of Georgia like if it’s better to be a vampire or a werewolf.. This is a debate that I must confess I once had myself.. when I was 7!”

The decision to leave vs. stay at the fowl place shouldn't be framed as one about ceding ground because it's not— it's about complicity in proving a bigoted billionaire's business thesis.

That thesis is simply that there are enough individuals and organizations willing to remain despite rampant racism, antisemitism, and other expressions of hate.

Elon is banking on holdouts because he needs them to get advertisers to bend to his will. Staying on Twitter *is* ceding ground *and* fueling hate.

Mastodon which is incredibly hot, supports RSS beautifully.

Just add .rss to any account to get the feed. Amazing!

https://mastodon.social/@davew.rss

Open that in your favorite feed reader. It’ll work.

Post a screenshot, say what the reader app is.

And pass this on to everyone who uses a feed reader.

Spread the word!

This is a huge deal for the open web.

Observations after being on #Mastodon for about a month:

- At least so far, there is a culture of friendliness. It's quite alluring and it should become standard both online and offline.

- We were made aware of how much the Twitter algorithm emphasized user outrage in order to increase engagement and increase revenue. Our feed is fascinating and helpful here.

- In addition to responding to toots, people often submit poetry, songs and thoughtful questions. #Twitter was never so enjoyable.

@tmstreet @md Good question. It's inevitable that they'll infiltrate Mastodon. I saw one. I didn't report it because he was a low-key undercover nazi. How Mastodon handles nazis will set the stage for how much growth you'll see for Mastodon, 💯I would recommend a zero-tolerance platform for hate speech. If you're found to be in a known domestic terrorist gang, you should probably not be speaking on Mastodon very long.

Never give anyone else the power to define you.
