Trump's comment about how it should be made president despite the constitution and losing the election is not helping to convince me that he's fit for the job.

When Mark Hamill comes to Mastodon (the new hope) we're going to party like it's May 25, 1977.

Hey Fediverse:
I am a `developmentally disabled/physically disabled` adult, who is looking to hire a part time assistant. To help me run errands, clean/cook and stuff. And if your computer savy i have a pile of abandoned projects that need attention. I live in upstate NY. Syracuse area.

No prior experience with working with the disabled community is required, but it is helpful in some situations.

What is required is a positive attitude toward Neurominoriies. A drivers license, and a willingness to undergo fire safety and abuse prevention training before starting.

Pay starts at $17/hr but varies quite a bit DOE.. hours start at 15/hrs a week, but will be going up to 20 sometime in the next six months or so. Interested. DM me for contact info

Please boost it would really help me out

‘Deeply Underwhelmed’: Right-Wingers on Musk’s Overhyped ‘Twitter Files’

"I think that the singular evil of our time is prejudice. It is from this evil that all other evils grow and multiply. In almost everything I've written, there is a thread of this: a man's seemingly palpable need to dislike someone other than himself."
ROD SERLING, LA Times, 1967

Hooooooo boy. Student spouting misinformation about Covid vaccines in their microbiology homework. Makes me want to fail them from the class (this student should NOT become a nurse without some re-education, oy). I won't, of course, but I'll send them a message with my concerns, for what good it will do. There are times when I hate the Internet.

This is your daily reminder that free speech is not a synonym for hate speech.

Hate speech is the anti-free speech, weaponised speech intended to intimidate and silence others. People who call hate speech "free speech" do not support or protect the speech of others.

When you use free speech as a euphemism for hate speech, you help them spread the idea that free speech is bad into popular culture, which is the first step in dismantling it.

Call hate speech what it is.

It was the best platform I found, and I looked at all of them. For many reasons. Mastodon is a great goto product for onboarding users and new admins, but there will soon be a rich landscape of tools that serve a wide variety of needs, tastes and use-cases. I want a highly extensible platform to plow those fields while adding some value "on the side" of existing networks like Masto.

@Ted_Cville @duaneaubin @mjf_pro @Lady_Star_Gem I'm not too worried about that. It's not just users who are deserting Twitter, it's advertisers. The more of us leave for saner pastures, the more Elon's advertising revenue declines.

@atomicpoet

Twitter took journalisim, commoditized it and turnied it into a mouthpeice of the the media companies. None of these entities actually seek for good coverage or stories (hom
pefully that is obvious at this point), they really only care about generating profit. Twitter was exactly the tool to focus the spotlight on them in order to generate traffic.

Twitter was never good for information exchange. The radical change in the platforms management, operation, and content in just the past month has driven that point very hard.

@bettyboo Blue Sky has been around since 2019. IMO, it's vaporware.

Why? Because people with a *lot* less money have built protocols and apps that do the same thing. You can use them now. And they have an actual community that builds and uses them.

After 4 years, I'm out of patience with Blue Sky.

Fuck the RIAA

I don't agree with all of Eve Fairbanks points, but what a great article about the demise of Twitter and its devastating effect on modern journalism.

Won't lie. Seeing Twitter die fills me with jubilation.

People really should understand how toxic that Blue Check was not just on journalism but on public discourse itself. https://www.wired.com/story/musk-denial-true-cost-twitter-implosion/

@atomicpoet lol, it verifies them as the twitter hall monitor secret police
