As you may have noticed the bot is fully functional on Mastodon, its new home!

You can try it now by adding #BbcMicroBot to your BASIC toot.

It may take up to 24hr to respond while I tune for the fediverse (CWs... visibility... tags vs mentions).

Also video puts load on a community instance - so just use the 🚀 for a screenshot for now.

WRT LB: woot woot looks like the cryptoshit that stole #Gemini's name is collapsing!

Since people seem to like the foxes, here's another one from right outside my garden door (my desk is right inside) a couple of years ago. This one was brave enough to just lay right back down again and go to sleep even after it noticed me right inside the door.

So an apparent reason for disabling #Twitter's employee badges is that Elon is afraid some would sabotage the company after the (non-hooman) ultimatum

If he had just acted with a little hoomanity in the first place he wouldn't be in this mess..

I wonder what's next...

Which browser do you use?
Thanks for any boosts! I wanna know!

I have seen many of these views ,and this one is so different in a different way, love it so much ,actually can't stop,it touches me in a feel good place ,really hard to describe💖💖

The British people ‘just got a lot poorer’, says IFS thinktank - https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/nov/18/british-people-poorer-ifs-uk-autumn-statement maybe giving the tories an untouchable 80-seat majority wasn't so clever, #brexiters...

A lot of us moved our blogging to places like Twitter, because it was convenient and easier to be seen.

If this meltdown leads people to going back to their blogs, or at least learning the essential downside of centralization, that will be a positive outcome.

You will end up paying 8$ a year instead of per month and keep your identity for as long as you live.

I'm glad the Twitter migration happened first, I have a bit of work to finish so Pixelfed can keep up with the inevitable Instagram migration 😅

Thankfully IG is also owned by a ego driven billionaire who has a talent for driving away users!

Hey new folks to #Mastodon!
Geez. I post one lil thing about traffic, & wake up to my biggest reboosted (RT’d) toot (post) here. 👋🏽😀

Also, let me say I see a lot of people going over to POST social. I’m now a decentralized #SocialMedia fan.
Post is owned by the folks at Waze mapping.
I don’t know if they are good people or not. I know their navigation app bites.
As Dave Winer noted about Medium, if you post all yr work on a centralized, single owned platform, it can be shut down like #twitter.

We have decided to create an account at Mastodon. We need time to learn how this platform works but also how to synchronize our work here with the Twitter account.

Thank you all for joining us here. No matter where we are, the mission stays the same. We are in social media to commemorate the victims of Auschwitz and educate the world about the tragic story of the camp.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy – they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

#twitter

Oh my god with the drama. Yes we get it, you've never been forced off a platform integral to networking in your profession and earning a living before. It's the end of the world🙄

It happens regularly to marginalized folk and we all told you you'd be next. You didn't give a shit

@ariadne I feel sorry for people on visa who had no choice but to stay. It’s gonna be some horrible days for them.

As @pilhofer would add if he were here more 🧐 members of his Tiny News Collective, LION, INN, et al depend on section 230 more than the bulging-pocketed and much-lawyered platforms. We must defend #230 and defeat #JCPA for the good of this future vision for American journalism.

@syrus @mehdihasan Engagement levels on Mastadon are also way better than Twitter

@mehdihasan Yes, and with a federated, decentralized alternative like Mastodon, they can still have a voice. Funded by the masses on federated servers in hundreds of countries around the globe.
