Hello to all.
I no longer feel safe on Twitter.
Please be patient as I learn a new format!

I just read all 103 pages of the EU regulations that would cover #Twitter.
It's time to start reporting to them the actions #Musk is taking that harm people. They won't act immediately, but they need to see how he's enabling "actual & foreseeable negative effects in relation to gender-based violence, the protection of public health & minors & serious negative consequences to the person's physical & mental well-being"

Argentina’s vice-president and former president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, has been sentenced to six years in prison and given a lifelong ban on holding public office after being found guilty in a $1bn fraud case related to public works.

I actually really like the idea of DOIs, but I get upset every time I see one because it means there's a 99% chance it's some paywalled article from some crappy academic publisher

Kevin McCarthy is threatening to not pay military members and their families if he can’t kill them.

We aren't imagining it. https://gizmodo.com/twitter-down-notifications-breaking-elon-musk-layoffs-1849856992

so, planning on spinning up an instance for small businesses in Aotearoa New Zealand.

It'll be paid, like Cloud Island, and use the Cloud Island tech stack, and use a subscribed blocklist.

I'll be admin and moderator of this instance.

Are you/your company interested in being on this instance? DM me if you are, or email me at aurynn@eiara.nz.

Boosting this would be helpful.

Twitter is NOT the public square.

It literally exists on a server farm owned by Elon.

If he wants, he can literally pull the plug on Twitter.

No one should base their online life on that thing. Or anything owned by Meta, for that matter.

I've said this previously in a reply, but it deserves its own thread 🧵

In just two days, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case that has the potential to upend American democracy by giving unprecedented power to state legislatures.

If you care about democracy, you need to pay attention to Moore v. Harper.

Reminder: A vote for @ReverendWarnock@twitter.com is not just a vote against Trump. It's a vote FOR democracy.
