This is the most accurate characterization and narrative of Musk I have seen. A worthwhile read, and much appreciated.

Does anyone know why I can't see all of someone's followers or the people they follow? I only seem to be able to see one or two.

Twitter users, as of this morning (12/18/2022) can no longer add #mastodon links in their Twitter profile, because any link to any mastodon instance is apparently considered #malware by Elon :-( cc #edtechSR #ConCW #ElonMusk #MediaLit #ElonsWarOnMastodon

A front page article on the Washington Post telling people how to get started with Mastodon?

That’s a big deal.

I’m calling banned journalists, for instance, to never ever go back. You do not need to be on Twitter to cover it. I’m frankly agnostic about holding onto an account. Right now I’m doing that, but use it to criticize Melon until I’m somehow banned at some point. I deleted my DMs and almost all my posts and don’t communicate via DM anymore. I post a fraction of the volume I once did. At some point I’m sure that will end, too. There’s no utility to it.

Good Morning Mastodon.

‘By saying that numerous, completely benign Mastodon servers are harmful, they make it more difficult to tell when there's an actual threat. It's a betrayal of the very simple idea that you should only tell people something is dangerous when it's actually dangerous.’ —@maxeddy for PC Magazine

Something to think about.

@JoParkerBear I suppose #genx is just used to changing platforms. Switching it up is whatever, nevermind. Record player -> Walkman -> MiniDisc -> CD-ROM ->Streaming

I'm still annoyed over Beta vs. VHS.

FWIW: Many #Xers have lived through DOS, Dial-up, BBS, computer monitors heavier than a car, floppy disks, dot matrix printers, and Kings Quest. So we have some tech skills and learning something a little techie like #Mastodon is neither bothersome nor a big leap.

🖋️ Elon Musk y la purga del periodismo que encantó a los ultras

“El dueño de Twitter levanta la suspensión a varios periodistas norteamericanos en una polémica que vuelve a dejar de manifiesto su carácter errático y su adicción a las teorías conspirativas”

In today's #Linux and #opensource news video, we have an unholy group of companies working on a FOSS competitor to #Google Maps, the death of adblockers on #Chrome being postponed, and #Apple working on allowing 3rd party App Stores on iOS, plus #XFCE 4.18 being released, and the @PINE64 PineTab 2 being announced:

In terms of #introductions, I'm an avid tech writer at work and often found writing blog posts and reading about music, data analysis, metadata, machine learning, data ethics, borders on the web, accessibility, inclusivity, and more.

I'm a big fan of cultivating community so I stay aware of local politics + housing/transit/bike/pedestrian advocacy here in SF as well 🙃

Hello! I'm Elías. I'm a teenager from Venezuela heavily interested in the meeting point between science, education and sustainability.

I love Chemistry with a flaming passion and I have won some medals in Chemistry Olympiads at national and international levels. I'm also a huge fan of The Lord Of The Rings and rock music.

Always willing to have a good talk!

#Introduction
Hi everyone! My name is Jess and I’m a junior Binghamton University (class of 2023). I’m a #chemistry major, a #biology major, and a #politicalscience major! This semester, I applied for PhD programs (and was recently accepted!) in #Chemicalbiology and adjacent fields in hopes of one day becoming a professor! Currently, I’m a #research assistant in the Lees lab studying Organometallic anion sensing. I like cats and I’m here for @academicchatter & @phdstudents ☺️

Hi FediFriends!

Looking for fellow instructional designers, adult educators, tech educators, technical writers.

Where are y'all hanging out?

#EdTech #TechEd
#InstructionalDesign
#TechnicalWriting
#Andragogy

I'm dead serious.

Let's do a #TwitterWalkout next week.

A day next week where everyone commits to not using the site.

Take away what Musk needs from us: our content and our eyeballs.
