Mastodon has just passed over 2 million active monthly users, a new record! People are voting with their feet. The future of social media doesn't have to belong to a billionaire, it can be in the hands of its users.

Do you ever get text messages meant for someone else? Maybe sth like "Are you Linda from the pet store?" And because you're nice, you reply and say they got the wrong number. Cindy Tsai, a lawyer, did just that. By the end of it all, she would lose about $2.5 million.

Twitter doesn't get to take a lap until they get rid of algorithmically surfaced, unmoderated trending topics which have been and are currently a common misinformation and radicalization gateway.

Dukat’s supporters tried to storm the station today. Everyone here is ok, but he and his supporters are clearly terrorists and enemies of the Federation. I need a bloody drink.

While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: @ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & @ReverendWarnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.

A friend just said to me "Are we supposed to be working during the coup?" and honestly it was the most American thing I've ever heard.

I propose we rename Google messaging services with the year of release, just like a copy of Madden or FIFA. The provides for easier tracking and better communicates the ~yearly lifecycle of these apps.
