  @superc4tt @Mastodon Not again, it just took a couple of days to write the press release. @Mastodon I just want my timeline in order & not be overloaded with ads! Some things becoming clear: @Mastodon @Mastodon Elon musk is going to get into well deserved legal trouble he doesn’t know what he is doing #mstdnsocial suspends pro #Ukrainian #Mastodon accounts for sharing #Russian #Propaganda. Ignores your appeal, emails and toots and won't allow you to ever access your profile info again. You can't even download your profile data as the files are corrupted. But hey let's carry on trashing Twitter. This is what I left #Twitter for apparently 🤷♂️ Worse experience in my life. Sorry #Ukraine I tried. @Stux and your team. Very well done! You give Mastodon a wonderful name! :clapping: "This is a stark reminder that centralized platforms can impose arbitrary and unfair limits on what you can and can’t say while holding your social graph hostage."   @Mastodon if they’re shooting at you, sad truth is they know you’re right and threatening their bullsh—way of life @Mastodon Ya know,, for someone who's a free speech absolutionist Musk sure does a lot of censorship  @Mastodon Nice read on why Mastodon, and the FediVerse in general, is different.  @Mastodon Tarde o temprano la gente debe darse cuenta de que hay vida mas alla de estas plataformas centralizadas. Quiza estemos asistiendo al comienzo de una nueva era sobre redes sociales.   @Mastodon I had never imagined such a thing happening on the bird site, a couple of months ago. But all the events that happened during past few weeks points to the importance of decentralized platforms like Mastodon during the internet age. All the best to Mastodon and Fediverse. @Mastodon Absolutely can confirm that anyone can run their own instance. With a GoDaddy created, #WordPress website, and an SSL certificate, I was able to set up my own instance, which allows me to instantly share my blog posts to Mastodon without effort. It just took configuring a plugin. @Mastodon The core message is good, but perhaps add the coda that the account and Mastodon links are working again, at least for now? @Mastodon Sharing that account on #Twitter was a cheap and a passive aggressive move. Like hoping to get blocked.  @Mastodon wow, didn’t know that @EU_Commission or German government runs a mastodon server. Maybe Austria will too someday... @Mastodon And there we go! Actively going to war with other platforms now. @Mastodon What can ya do. #ElonMusk is a douche bag who is proving that he can destroy share prices better than a global financial collapse. Rather than stating the obvious - let’s focus on how many people are moving from #Twitter to #Mastodon. The Mastodon community: free speech that is fact-based, respectful of diverse opinions, and fun.  @Mastodon As of right now, you’re visible and I followed you there… and #Mastodon is #TrendingNow plus others are visibly displaying their handles. It’s not working too well for Elon! @Mastodon That ban on the account and on sharing links was literally lifted yesterday. Old news, move on. @Mastodon @Mastodon Yeah, it sucks what is happening to Twitter but it's wonderful; because of it I found Mastodon and the Fediverse. Surely enough, my feed is coming alive with interesting post from interesting folks. Love it!  Even though Elon was voted out AND his content board had a poll asking if they should ban people linking to other social media account .. currently sitting at >90% voting against it  @Mastodon Musk's birdsite is a laughingstock! A pathetic, oppressive laughingstock, shitting on the very democracy that it freeloaded on to thrive. #MastodonsFree #MastodonsAlive #CommunityCounts #LeaveTwitter @Mastodon I really wish all my connections would move to the fediverse so I don’t have to use Twitter anymore. I’m hearing their ridiculous ban was lifted, but I’m still wanting to phase it out. |
@Mastodon "This is a stark reminder that centralized platforms can impose arbitrary and unfair limits on what you can and can’t say while holding your social graph hostage."
Bingo!
