I have found @TribelSocial to have many good points, but at present it seems overwhelmed, glitchy & under-resourced, although established users seem OK with it

Trying Mastodon now - useful article:

Good news for Cornwall, very alarming news indeed for low lying coastal regions everywhere

HUGE amount of good news about the #environment to offset the bad

Yes indeed... and we also need clean sources of electricity for charging, plus large-scale energy storage for wind & sun generated electricity

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Electric vehicles are the future. They also require thousands of microchips per single vehicle.

America is making semiconductors again, not just to strengthen our supply chains. But to ensure the clean energy economy is made right here at home.

Twitter friends! I’ve asked this before, this type of post has truly helped my account rework itself (post Musk takeover). With people not seeing tweets. Would be unbelievably grateful if you could engage again. So if you can see this, could you put an emoji ��🏻. So appreciated!

@TribelSocial
My 2¢ so far:

Very nice use of audience & interest categories

Much more notice taken of new user's posts than on Twitter

Hate-free atmosphere

Not about making money

Some clunky implementation features but easy to communicate both ways with Tribel's developers.

[Brian Tooby @AirToob]

@TribelSocial Nice feature 2 throw up a list of compatible people 2 follow when you follow a particular person

However the only option is 2 follow ALL the suggested people

Would like to bring up those suggestions again and visit each of the suggested people before following

[Brian Tooby @AirToob]

@wenwar69 Yeah, I doubt I'll vanish completely

People joining elsewhere should drive Musk crazy though...

Profits B4 People:
The price of antibiotics needed to treat Strep A has rocketed from 80p to £18.

Suffering and death are just another profit opportunity for corporations.

Labour 2019 manifesto was right. Govt should produce generic drugs.

New coal mine? In 2022?!

[Brian Tooby @AirToob]

Don't know how long I will remain here after posting this

One way or another...

Rishi Sunak's desperate attempts to push through voter ID laws are nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to stop people voting

Proud that Lib Dems have tabled a fatal motion in the Lords to stop these Trumpian measures in their tracks

Sea otter mothers cradle their pup on their chest away from the cold water and give them almost constand attention and cuddles.

Nature is amazing. Protect it.

1.1 million Americans have died of COVID since this tweet.

Barely 36 hours after the end of the midterms and gas prices drop below where they were at the same point last year. Funny how that works.
