@CaroleBristol @PaulEmbery Interesting. I ran a pub in Whitechapel throughout the 80s, so it may have been earlier as I can't remember this at any of the locals there. There was a pub that had strippers in Shoreditch, not frequented by many East Enders though. Most of them were pleased when it shut down.

@westontiger2005 @brianmoore666 Just pick an instance (server), once you're on you can follow people on different instances in the 'fediverse'. You can instantly set your time line to see people you follow, or everyone, or just the local server. My smallish instance is very relaxing chat, tech, games, democracy

@NobleBenz @elonmusk Getting harder to tell the parody accounts on here, on account of there probably really is someone out there who would actually think this shite for real.

@OzWeenie @dellcam The UK doesn't even have a written Constitution, let alone one that's been amended. We certainly don't want yours. Especially the gun stuff

@BaislaSam @sanjg2k1 @elonmusk 🤣🤣🤣

@MosquitoCapital I thought Space Karen had cancelled you

[Christine @NotMeAnother]

@MosquitoCapital @MosquitoCapital's thread is currently unavailable on my android. My subtweet also disappeared then came back with 7 likes, but still can't see your thread. It could be for any one of the reasons listed in the thread

[Christine @NotMeAnother]

@tomdunn26 None around here either. Didn't notice until you said that

[Christine @NotMeAnother]

@AlexAlexjwhite @Philsoccer3 @mrjamesob Good article.
I'm not a serial blocker, but Phil is both silly and boring. Got to be done

[Christine @NotMeAnother]

@Philsoccer3 @AlexAlexjwhite @mrjamesob Says the whiny person

[Christine @NotMeAnother]

@Philsoccer3 @AlexAlexjwhite @mrjamesob Ah yes, of course, this was never said before the year 2020 and only by people under the age of 22.
Also, weird is good

[Christine @NotMeAnother]

@AlexAlexjwhite @mrjamesob A brilliant thread here on all the reasons it could fall over https://t.co/IDdngUbFEV

[Mosquito Capital @MosquitoCapital]

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?"

As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

@Philsoccer3 @AlexAlexjwhite @mrjamesob Tell me you know nothing about big IT systems, without telling me you know nothing about big IT systems.

@satirical_p @oldval2 @Otto_English Edward Leigh? He's my MP, in the safe seat next door to the Lincoln constituency, no chance of shifting him and getting worse every year. The Lincoln MP, McCartney, is like Gullis and 30p Lee, he will probably lose his seat at the next election and good riddance.

@unfit2serve @MosquitoCapital @James_Savage15 As a recently retired 25 years prior SysAdmin and DBA just want to say if Twitter dies now, at least I've had this thread to let me know it wasn't just me that knew how both rewarding, but ultimately stressful it was x

[Christine @NotMeAnother]

@Mjausson @MosquitoCapital I love this thread, and all the understanding

[Christine @NotMeAnother]

@VirtualAndrewC @MosquitoCapital Yup

[Christine @NotMeAnother]

@ceebee76 @MosquitoCapital This whole thread has not only been awesome from the start, thank you @MosquitoCapital, but its also been cathartic, in that although it's made me cry and hyperventilate in equal measures, it's also thrown up a shedload of people who absolutely get it.

[Christine @NotMeAnother]

@Mjausson @MosquitoCapital No it definitely doesn't. Another problem is that some of these teams were together for years, together 9-10 hours a day, you know them, like family almost. then suddenly loads of them gone. I would find that difficult, even without the scary work thing.

@roversfour @Otto_English If it helps this was in Lincoln, where 59% voted Leave.

[Christine @NotMeAnother]

@roversfour @Otto_English I have grandchildren I voted Remain. But the staff, who I knew really well, believed this and other local homes had voted Leave because of their war time experiences, as my mother had said. Some of these staff were from the EU, it shocked and upset them, as it did me.
