welcome, new Mastodoners. Some (serious) advice:
1. Include an image and a bio. I'm not inclined to follow you back if you don't.
2. If you follow me, I don't feel obligated to follow you back. If I follow you, you don't have to follow me back. It's not a high-school cafeteria social scene. Personally, I'm trying to keep my follow list manageable.
3. Try to spend a month Mastodoning before sharing all your great ideas about things that should change to make it more like the bird site.

I do not believe anything Elon says unless it is backed up by solid corroboration.

Elon is trying to say what I’m posting isn’t public information.
ADS-B and ACARS are all over public frequency and are acquired by organizations like ADSBExchange.
This is like saying AM or FM signals aren’t public and that reciciving a frequency is private.
Aviation enthusiasts have been reciciving this information over the air for atleast a decade now. Even companies like FlightAware and FlightRadar24 rely on hobbyists to receive this data.

Just signed up for Mastodon. Hope it doesn’t become a dumpster fire like twitter. This feels like that movie where the humans have to go find another planet suitable for life after messing things up on earth.

can i just say... and im not gonna talk about the horrible south african so much if i can avoid it... the suspended account was posting the flight path of his private jet! that is only dangerous if you expect random enemies in the US to have... antiaircraft missiles???

“SAY IT.”
“I’m a dirty little plant.”
“And what do you want?”
“I want you to water me.”
“I’m gonna water you so hard.”
“That’s how I like it.”

This is how easily all the little infosec tools none of us think very deeply about can become subverted as tools of fascism.

There will come a time when we will each need to make a stand.

Clearly a link to a Mastodon account is not an instance of

+ malicious links that could steal personal information or harm electronic devices

+ spammy links that mislead people or disrupt their experience

+ violent or misleading content that could lead to real-world harm

That leaves

+ certain categories of content that, if posted directly on Twitter, are a violation of the Twitter Rules

But which of the rules is beig violated? I can't figure that out for the life of me.

@theintercept @micahflee Corrupt as they come.

Dr. Simone Gold, a convicted U.S. Capitol insurrectionist and ringleader of a network of right-wing health-care providers that have made millions selling so-called alternatives to vaccines, has offered to help Elon Musk assemble a team of doctors to fact-check medical information on Twitter.

@SwiftOnSecurity astronomy too, omg. You can feel guilty for not spending many thousands on just a telescope.

One of my last posts on the other site before it suspended me without notice:

Self-proclaimed free speech champ #ElonMusk is now banning the #Twitter accounts of the journalists who covered him. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/elon-musk-twitter-journalists-banned-1234648351/

I volunteer to write the next chapter of THE TWITTER FILES on how the decision was made to deactivate the accounts of a bunch of journalists that reported on Musk

Just send me all the internal communications.

My email is in my bio.

As a rule, there aren't enough bunny butts on Mastodon.

I'm here to fix that.

I bought my wife one of those mood rings.
When she's happy it turns blue. 😊
When she's not happy it leaves a red mark on my forehead. 😳
