My team at work just launched new research on the #TwitterMigration: We analyze which platforms are growing - especially #Mastodon, #Tumblr & #Post.
We look at which sites users are adding to their Twitter bios, posting to their friends about & downloading apps for.
Please do boost this, and love to hear any comments or feedback on it!
Download it here:

Please vote for us for the indie of the year award hosted by Indie DB and sponsored by mod.io ! Head over to https://www.indiedb.com/games/0-ad and cast your vote!
I fully back that standpoint. It is important to gather evidence, arguments and then weigh everything up before making a decision.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
At the time, I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 55 now.
HIV treatment works and it means I can’t pass it on - we call this #UequalsU.
HIV changed. Tell everyone.

It's not enough to squat a Mastodon handle that you never use.
It's not enough to automatically repost your Twitter timeline.
You have a chance to be part of something new. Something important. To shape it in the right way.
With all of us.
Breathe life into *this* community and *this* network by posting here, creating here, connecting here.
Be here now.

European Commissioner Thierry Breton just joined Mastodon!
His first post, published right after a call with Elon Musk, made it clear that there is still huge work ahead for Twitter to comply with EU law:
1. Reinforce content moderation
2. Tackle disinformation
3. Implement transparent policies based on objective criteria (i.e., not via Twitter polls)
4. Limit targeted advertising
5. Prepare for an independent audit

@godpod Well if Elon is happy to lead the way, we can decide AFTER he has had it for a few years.

“People Are Mocking Elon Musk’s Announcement That Neuralink Will Be In Human Brains In 6 Months”

@liaizon Ah thanks, :)
@danie10 Sounds good, I have not done any coding for years, but nice to see existing tools being updated and adapting.
@81732bit Agreed, people have been tell them for years what the soluton was.
A good point made on BBC Spotlight, they want the status of care home (and similar) workers changed so they are key workers, so that they can actually FIND a place to live.
There is accommodation for key workers, but if you're not classed as a key worker you are then excluded.
Staff are available but have no where to live.

The BBC asking "what can be done to reduce queues at A&Es and waits for ambulances?".
It's simple.
More funding. We need more money for social care to allow people to be discharged who are otherwise medically fine. We need more money for beds, Des & nurses in the hospital's. We need more money for more ambulances and paramedics.
12 years of underfunding by the Tories. This needs to stop.

I'm in the Fediverse since 2019, but never did an #introduction so far:
I'm a #Linux #sysadmin, digital #forensics expert and #Debian developer. Programming in #Perl and #shell most time.
I insist on a #mechanicalkeyboard.
I like #Citroën #oldtimers (#2CV, #HY, #CX) and the #CityEl. I travel with #motorhome and #Brompton.
I'm going with #BikeToWork and like exotic #bicycle types: #foldingbike, #recumbent and #trike.
I am and always was a #nonsmoker. Have #asthma, though. I am #vaccinated.
I think we should just carry on, as long as the people here produce, favourite, boost content that is positive and helps promote inclusion for all then there is less reason to block us.
Over time let things change for the better through positive interactions.
