Hey, it's monday and for us here in Finland the week will end with vappu next sunday, the biggest drunkfest of the year. May day for the rest of you.

@dangillmor I think the difference with Mastodon and all the new Twitter alternatives, is that Mastodon was quite happily trucking along as a viable community long before Twitter imploded. These other platforms need to become The New Twitter in order to survive, Mastodon doesn't
CNN:
Have you learned nothing from 2016?
