Hey friends who post #wordle results and other emoji-based graphics, do our visually-impaired screen-reader friends a solid and post your results behind a CW so they don’t need to listen to their screenreaders struggle to narrate a bunch of boxes 😁
Some strange potential information suppression happening on Musk’s twitter. Our viral piece about Voter Suppression and Photo ID on @BylineTimes now being marked as “potentially spammy” (is that a technical term?)

@PeteWharmby have you seen this? x
@EmmaKennedy that's glorious 🤩
@BlokeOnWheels new slippers working well then, Joe? 😆
I stumbled upon this Armstrong & Miller sketch from 2007. Framed as a TV email segment, but it's a *perfect* preemption of the social media that was to come 😆
@Spinybadger Aha, clearly made quite the study :D I've never noticed the gap narrowing. I don't think I'm at your level of expertise!
@bluehazy 1. the boost button retweets. 2. see 1 ;)
Retweets here are not "quotable" so it's a single action of just sending it out to your audience.
I also have an Instagram I run that I just use for my village. Fans of all things #Cornish might like that one. https://www.instagram.com/mevagissey/
Is now a good time to mention some other social media stuff? I have a personal Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/kimbomeva/ for a start.
@Spinybadger I'd think the two hours *is* the margin of tolerance and the number is just calculated using last completion time plus expected travel and they haven't bothered with any rounding.
@Spinybadger thank you, I've been doing Wordle and Quordle regularly but that's a bit different. Mind you, after the second go I had to go back and check what the colours meant! 😆
re: News on potential collapse of Twitter
@estherlimtf @mikegalsworthy "You can’t fire your key execs etc". Point of order: apparently you can, it's just not a terribly good idea 😂
I've found this social media site called Twitter.
It's like Mastodon but you can pay $8 to pretend you're someone of significance, everyone hates each other and you're posts are monitored by a billionaire who wants to run the whole thing by himself but doesn't have a clue how to.
It's all rather entertaining.
@RDHale it’s certainly a more pleasant experience so far. I’m looking for history, science, geopolitical types to follow if anyone has any recommendations I’d be happy to follow the suggestions and indeed the “suggestee” - if that’s a word!
I thought it was important I share this picture of a #squirrel with a #donut in its mouth to the entire #Fediverse because when I posted it to #Twitter, it got one like. And I know #Mastodon will not allow such injustice.
Sweary and opinionated. It's best not to take it personally. Also hilarious but that might be less obvious.
