Now would be a good time for all European politicians and journalists to setup accounts on Mastodon.

I don't think I've ever encountered those. Their appearance is distinctive. Usually if I get a call about ants in the winter, it's because they are living under a slab house where the ground is a little warmer. usually Lasius or Tetramorium.
@ajroach42 I'm interested, but I'm old and I can't even change the clock on my VCR. How does this work?

#Mastodon is super lively these last few weeks. I love it. I have met lots of interesting people and the conversations are more involved, deeper, and more people are contributing.
Thanks to all of you contributing to make our own corner of the internet fun ❤️

So, the Melon Husk wants to charge $1 for new twitter accounts.
Therefore I just created a new twitter account before his flying monkeys could implement that feature.
Hint: it's called @cstross_exit for now. When I delete @cstross on November 6th, I'll immediately rename the new account to @cstross, thereby hopefully stopping folks seeing all the should-be-deleted-but-probably-aren't tweets from the old account.
Because fuck you, Dilbert Stark.
