Really hoping someone sets up a UK railways server, I'd happily donate.

I joined this site a fortnight ago today.

I did not have a clue how it worked, or about its lore and culture.

Now, it seems intuitive - though not because I am adept but because networks and protocols are familiar and practical things.

We use them all the time: www, mobiles, emails, etc.

And this place is structured to encourage calm civility.

It was Twitter which was strange and, in many ways, inhumane - rewarding clicks and rage and vileness.

We just got used to it.

And now we are out.

I...do not understand how electricity works.

happy i chose qoto tbh, pretty friendly and nice here

keep seeing posts with way more boosts than likes. do y'all not like over here? how do you think people know you like their posts

A groundbreaking decision taken by world govs yesterday gives explicit protection to 54 species of sharks, some of which aren't critically endangered today, but soon would be without help.

This is a win for the planet really, as sharks are a 420M year old keystone ocean species that have survived 4 mass extinction events. Oceans need them to persist. No sharks, no oceans, no us.

Thousands of Twitter employees who are refusing to work for a petulant billionaire have demonstrated more courage than most Republican Senators and Congresspersons

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.
