If you're from #Twitter with the #TwitterMigration, RIGHT NOW is the time to let your people know you're on Mastodon. Don't wait until that channel is shut off (if or when).

I absolutely do not know everything about #Mastodon but as quickly become an evangelist for it and the greater #fediverse.

If you, or anybody else you know, need assistance getting onboarded, just ask. There are plenty of friendly, non-judgmental people ready to help.

Keep in mind: THIS IS NOT TWITTER.

There are 23427 media files in the BBC Micro Bot archive which I've downloaded for safe keeping. I need to make a gallery for the fediverse.

So... if I'm following this correctly, a week ago Elon ended remote work and said everyone needs to come into the office.

Then he demands that by end of day today employees sign a "I'm hardcore" oath, which less than 50% signed.

And now... he's shut down all the offices that he demanded everyone come back to for a few days in order to officially fire everyone who didn't sign?

Y con este maravilloso logo y este anuncio me largo a la cama… por cierto, dicen las malas lenguas que el vw escarabajo está basado en este coche de Tatra, una maravilla aerodinámica de la época. Como el Bugatti 100P, casi se podrían considerar arte! (Del Bugatti dicen que es un avión Art Decó)

I decided to delete my Twitter account, so rather than procrastinating, Just got on with it.

I am not sure what is wrong with the image shown but thankfully here we don't have to put up with nonsense such as this.

I've just made a quick-and-dirty FIFA World Cup Viewer for Atari 800XL with FujiNet's json parser. #Atari #FujiNet #OpenLigaDB #8bit

What gets me about this is how badly wrong people are consistently trying to use Birdsite.

It is a *micro* blogging platform.
Threads are useful for all sorts, but planning long-form text to a microblogging system shows a failure to understand the platform (or the web).

That Twitter is encouraging it is worse (if unsurprising).

Microblogging: Twitter, Mastodon

Blogging (or Macroblogging): Wordpress, or other full blogging platform

Somewhere in the middle: Tumblr

I've requested an archive of my three most important Twitter accounts. I have a feeling that if Twitter starts having issues, the **Request Archive** feature probably won't be a priority. 🤣

Right now @Raspberry_Pi #Pico is made in the UK in the #Sony factory in Wales, right alongside our "big" boards, and in Japan. Soon it'll also be #MadeInKenya by Gearbox Europlacer, https://pcb.africa, in Nairobi. #RaspberryPi #RaspberryPiPico #RP2040 #Kenya #Africa

The EU is on Mastodon:
