 Haha ex-Twitter employees have created their own Mastodon instance 😅 "This server is intended for current and previous twitter employees and their friends/family.

@thomas this user https://macaw.social/@jredmond has a verified link back to a website that seems pretty legit, their twitter account also links to their macaw.social profile. My bet is on it being real. Twitter employees have been very much on my mind and heart lately. I wish all of you the best and hope you are able to mutually vent and support one another. @JoergSorge da das wahrscheinlich nur ein loses Kollektiv ist... Hmm. Schwierig für nen Normalo. Außer jemand kennt jemanden, der wen kennt und so. 🤔  @thomas "intended for current and previous twitter employees and their friends/family." Hello Thomas. This sounds to me like a very interesting and somehow also - for the group - important solution. I can only congratulate, welcome everyone and keep my fingers crossed that everything works out as the group has wished. @thomas Twitterfolks, you wanted to gather here and be social, and ex-Twitter employees have set up a place you can do that! Say Hai if you want.   Absolutely love it! It makes perfect sense, too -- a self controlled, decentralised place for them to gather. @thomas I'm interested if we'll see something from wired, cnn, etc. in the future... Headline: @thomas I, for one, welcome them. Their having to put up with the last few weeks of Musk speedrunning their old workplace into the ground has been trying enough for them, I'm sure.   @jahway603 @thomas At the very least they have insights from running Twitter and what not to do that will prove invaluable. @thomas Funny how we were all thrown off Twitter for not meeting community standards of inclusiveness. But it’s only women who are expected to let everyone in.  @thomas journalists take note! @kathygriffin can you share with your journalist buds? @brooklynmarie  @thomas This is honestly not surprising considering what Musk is doing to Twitter.   @thomas "macaw"? Couldn't find a more difficult name, no? And people complain about "Mastodon" *LOL* But, yeah, I guess it's because it's nice looking bird. |

Tbh it's difficult to verify, but seems plausible.
