Oh wait, mastodon is trending on birdsite...

I remember one of the things that motivated me to look into the state of decentralized social media (and ultimately begin working on Mastodon) in 2016 were talks that a controversial billionaire might buy Twitter.

There will be a downtime of 2 hours, likely later today, as we upgrade to a larger server. #QOTO #Mastoadmin

Ok, we found the problem. Upgrading all servers now to fix it.

I'm really starting to think that anything short of a WW2-scale government-led mobilisation effort to fight climate change is just a bit of window dressing. Individual actions like flying less or going vegan, or corporate actions like carbon offsetting are just not going to scale fast enough and are probably just a distraction from meaningful change. The technology is there and the transition will (probably) happen eventually at this point, we just need the political action to drastically reduce the timeframe.

what exactly are Elon Musk's principles of free speech? as far as i can tell, they're exactly the same as every other obnoxious squillionaire techbro: "i should be free to say exactly what i want at all times, with no comebacks ever"

Hey @elonmusk if you care about free speech on twitter then make them to join the fediverse (https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/REC-activitypub-20180123) so that people can use any client e.g. https://fediverse.party to use it from decentralized network.

While climate change disrupts farming practices, a crop named false banana could be the answer to food scarcity issues. Scientists say that it has the potential to feed more than 100 million people. Watch the video to know more

Apparently #facebook doesnt own the #meta trademark but is using it anyway... I really hope this ends with them looking like a fool.

Oh yeah, it's that Halloween thing today, right?

Happy Halloween, Fedi!
