Governments, agencies, and all other entities around the world should be immediately reevaluating their existing relationships with Twitter and all other Musk-controlled firms. - Report: Twitter dissolves Trust & Safety Council of ~100 experts, created in 2016: https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/12/twitter-disperses-the-trust-safety-council-after-key-members-resigned/

Migrating from Twitter to Mastodon

I assume many of you are watching the Twitter soap, waiting for the moment that the social media platform burns down completely.

Hello, after lurking around more than a month here and seeing the birdsite falling apart, I guess it's finally time for a proper #introduction toot!

I am a 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇪🇺 #EarlyCareer #scientist, specialised in #polar #climate #science, especially interactions between #ocean and #ice, both #Arctic and #Antarctic.

Next to "pure" research, I like to do fun stuff for #SciComm, like #blogging, #SeriousGames, #SciArt, ...

I am curious to meet and interact more with the #Mastodon community!

Love this

To all Mastodon-admins: seems like there's an attack on all instances by troll accounts. Servers get slow because of it.
They use thousands of subdomains of activitypub-troll.cf. My 'pull' queues skyrocketed.

I now blocked the domain activitypub-troll.cf and all is back to normal. Please check if you're hit too.

Something quite serious now.

For the past 2 years on the birdsite, I've enjoyed being part of Sarah Millican's #JoinIn - there for anyone on their own over the festive season who would like to join in a group chat to help pass the day.

We've had some great times, and I'm planning to support it here too this year.

If you're lonely, just post #JoinIn so we can spot you, or search for the #JoinIn hashtag, and just join in!

Good idea? Give it a BOOST!
