Been a @gandi_net customer since the 90s and spent thousands of dollars with them. But now there's a bug in their configuration system and one of my domains no nameservers listed. I sent an email to their support and I've gotten no reply at all. I'm very frustrated.

The people at @BoldProgressive have begun texting me without me asking. The Republicans haven't texted me anything. It seems like the @BoldProgressive would like me to vote for Trump, based on their texts. I was planning on voting Harris, but @BoldProgressive seem insistent.

Why did you delete your tweet supporting terrorists murdering and torturing innocent people? Don't you want everyone to know how much you hate the Jews???@cupe_3906

In the last week, we've increased our active user count on Babka by a full 25% and the Fediverse as a whole has increased by roughly 10%. No hard sell... we're Jewish focused, and we're here for you. babka.social

I only come onto Twitter usually to promote Babka, but I decided to check out my feed... JTwitter, you all are great, but you're wasting your time here. The owner of this site is a hateful antisemite. There are better options out there, even other than mine!

Also, how do you all handle so few character per post?! Babka has 1008! (because it's divisible by 18).

I talked with Serge from @BabkaSocial for The Jews Are Tired podcast. Serge is working on a new Jewish online space -- starting with Mastodon, one of the many Twitter alternatives popping up. I used to be gung-ho about Mastodon, now not so much. We chat about that, too
The chaos of Elon Musk’s Twitter has chased users and news orgs away, while a wave of Twitter clones try to recreate a sense of community. Lev talks about what this means for the Jews with Serge, founder of Babka Social, a new Jewish social media platform. tcjewfolk.com/podcast/the-je…

I can't believe this ever had to be a selling point. Also we have API access for free as well.
Babka Social, we have working links.

I made an announcement via the Babka Blog for an anti-dog whistle tool that can be used on nearly any platform. It handles #antisemitism now, but we're adding other dog whistles soon! blog.babka.social/2023/02/an…

My thinking about Babka has changed over the last month or so, and I've been actively promoting it less here on Twitter. This thread on Babka explains how Babka and Twitter are so different. babka.social/@serge/10968180…

It looks like Elon changed his mind about banning folks who talk about the Fediverse, but that changes nothing for me. We have a small but thriving community of Jews on Babka with fun posts, in-jokes, slang, and debates over Jewish law. Who could ask for more?

Babka Social is my baby. I urge you to come with us. Jews, it's time to Twitter Exodus.
With Twitter's new rules, this account is likely to be targeted and shut down soon. I urge folks to come along with us, and for existing Babka folks to encourage their friends to join us. You deserve better, and you can have it. #JTwitter #Mazeldon #Jewdiverse

Mastodon's official Twitter account has been suspended. The unbridled, absolute fragility of this man.

Let this sink in: @elonmusk hath decreed that all links to Mastodon should be flagged as malware. This is, of course, a baldfaced lie, and he knows it. So the CEO of Twitter is lying to everyone on Twitter, and to all its advertisers, even to all of his defenders.

Over where I am, everyone is talking about how this site is in turmoil as accounts are shut down or others are closing down on their own. This is a quick reminder to all my followers that you can have a home on Babka Social if you want.
