@thomas omg...

@thomas Wär gut, man könnte das irgendwie verifizieren.

@thomas "intended for current and previous twitter employees and their friends/family."
Ongetwijfeld ook voor een 'beperkt' aantal journalisten... 😇

@thomas dodo.social would have been a great name as well. Because that bird might go extinct as well soon ;)

@thomas Life surpasses Art.

@thomas

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 😂 😂 that's hilarious!

@thomas
If I was an ex-twitter employee, fired by Email, this is what I'd do.

@thomas @Tupp_ed That's v amusing, but solidarity too to all of them re having to deal with all that Musk crap.

@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.

@thomas Hahahaha nice. Funny but not funny at the same time 😅

@thomas PFFFT haha you can't make this shit up

@thomas@metalhead.club was soll wohl der Name macaw bedeuten?

@thomas Das ist cool. Freut mich.

@thomas fantastic

@thomas is Elon here yet?

@thomas he, keep on sharing the water! 🌈

@thomas

Absolutely love it! It makes perfect sense, too -- a self controlled, decentralised place for them to gather.

@thomas 😂😂 Superb

@thomas I love the smell of karma in the morning

@thomas I'm interested if we'll see something from wired, cnn, etc. in the future...

Headline:
When the Sh*t hits the fan: Ex-Twitter employees open their own Mastodon Instance

@thomas that’s just amazing 😂

@thomas welcome https://macaw.social/about! 👋

@thomas lol

@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.

@thomas 👀 @janboehm

@thomas I’m sure the fediverse devs are waiting for some great PRs 😅

@thomas be kind with them !

@thomas Moments like these is what keeps me breathing.

@thomas love the name!

@thomas maybe some of them will contribute to the Mastodon code base.

@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

Wonder if EM is on it.

@thomas I just blocked that instance.

@thomas
@GinnyMooy leuk voorbeeld

@thomas @McPatrick welcome aboard

@thomas I'm not one of them, but that's awesome.

@thomas so cool! Way to go.

@thomas journalists take note! @kathygriffin can you share with your journalist buds? @brooklynmarie

@thomas this is glorious😅

@thomas You love to see it.

@thomas that’s great news! I hope this verse gets lots of traction.

@thomas great!!!

@thomas

absolutely awesome..

@thomas I have to tag this #Twitanic

@thomas This is honestly not surprising considering what Musk is doing to Twitter.

@thomas Bummer! I wanted to "filter " Suck😢

@thomas I love the name

@thomas Is there a Genshin instance? Link pls?

@thomas

@thomas Too funny lol

@thomas good deal. Muskrat can go kick rocks.

@thomas
This makes me happy. I’m glad they’ve found a home!
🏠🏠🏠

@thomas сколько инстансов там уже забанили?

@thomas this really sounds like the Freenode incident, huh?

@thomas epic! #twittermigation

@thomas ACH! 👍😂

@thomas 👍

@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.
Still ;)

@thomas Well done!!!
