Now is a good reminder that Nashtodon is a thing and it's awesome.

I've moved over from esq social (which was a great place!) to the Nashtodon.com community that @n8foo created, and so far I love the local experience. That was what I enjoyed about twitter anyway.

I'm desperately bored of Elon news cycles but this obviously pretextual, post-hoc change to policies to protect his own private jet info is hilarious and makes the stuff exposed in the Twitter Files look like an absolute model of considered, deliberative policy-making.

Hi, Twitter Fam just wanted to say our final good byes. It’s been a pleasure serving you this past 11 years. Twitter really made us feel apart of the culture and we will never forget that. 🎤🎤 drop

Twitter emailed San Francisco-based nonprofit Swords to Plowshares to tell them they’d no longer be sending a $10,000 donation they’d pledged “until the new leadership provides guidance."
The email said Twitter "paused indefinitely" all of its donations.

WTF, no, it's not like leaving your country, at all. Social media is entertainment. When it STOPS being entertaining you turn it off. If it becomes your actual life you need to spend some time reflecting.

Bad news sir. We had surprisingly few takers on our offer to work twice as hard for the same pay on a site that caters exclusively to neo-Nazis

I'm told that in Twitter's slack, scores of staffers have posted the Salute emoji, as many appear to reject Musk's "hardcore" ultimatum. (The salute emoji has been what tweeps post as they exit.) A former exec who recently left described to me what's occurring as a "mass exodus."

Shout out to all the workers at Twitter. You all built a vital place for connection and deserved so much better.
Millions of people appreciate the space you built and the hard work that went into it. Thank you 💙

Over 1 million people have joined Mastodon since October 27. Between that and those who returned to their old accounts, the number of active users has risen to over 1.6 million today, which, for context, is over 3 times what it was just about two weeks ago!

I heard twitter is now down to a single employee on a bus who has to keep it travelling at over 50 miles per hour or the site will implode.

To those who would like all of the power and none of the responsibility -- too fucking bad.
