So many people opted out of the sneaky landgrab of users' rights, that Xitter have now decided to post new T&C with it all baked in:

So it's time for us to stop posting here. We get a lot more replies and shares on Mastodon anyway:

Just created a new profile on Mastodon. Anybody following us here who's also on there should follow us there instead. You're much more likely to see our posts there, without the Twitter/X algorithm picking and choosing what you see and what you don't.

@BuntlineAtSea Not keen to repeat the mistake of trusting a single company or service again. There are already thousands of independent servers federated with the #ActivityPub protocol that #Mastodon uses:

I think there are BlueSky bridges under construction though 🤞

"Last week a senior IDF officer quietly admitted what the international community has long been reluctant to acknowledge: that #Israel is carrying out ethnic cleansing in #Gaza, and deceiving the world about its true objectives in the besieged territory."

"Threats of the wealthy taking flight abound, but LSE evidence surveying the top 1% found none actually planning to migrate. After all, that top 1% have done astoundingly well, making 31 times more wealth than all the rest since 2010."

"Now that @realDonaldTrump is headed back to the White House, with @ElonMusk in tow, there is not even a pretense of hope on that platform for anyone who voted against Trump. It’s better late than never, but it’s well and truly time to cut @X loose."

"Now is the time to abandon @X. As citizens come to terms with a declared antidemocratic US president, propped up by the misinformation and hate speech of @ElonMusk, no one who believes in the rule of law can justify remaining on this platform."

"Keir Starmer's recent diary is a stark reminder of just how much he has been abroad. The PM has been out of the country 22 of the 77 days from 1 September to next Wednesday when he returns from a four-day trip to the #G20 in Brazil."

"Heseltine described the advent of Right To Buy as "laying the foundations of one of the most important social revolutions of the century", but was selling off council houses simply laying the foundations of a housing crisis?"

“If they protest in a way that gets noticed, they go to jail” - @mrjamesob cuts through with clarity & truth.
Complicity in the politics of “don’t look up” is hastening ever greater #climate breakdown - we can’t say we didn’t know

[Harry Pettit 🇱🇧🇵🇸 @HarrygPettit]

Amsterdam defies the ban on protest. We say no to zionist thugs, no to weaponising antisemitism, no to genocide

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

🚨‼️MUST WATCH and SHARE before Elon Musk bans it:

Since US media won’t tell you, UK activists, Led By Donkeys, dropped this video on how Elon Musk and his use of X helped get Donald Trump elected.

The first Remembrance Day since Israel killed 3 British Veterans in a precision strike, while they were delivering food to starving children.

Remember John Chapman, James Kirby and James Henderson, and think of their families who deserve justice.

They want you to forget them.

[Walid Mahmoud @walidmahmodrouk]

A Dutch teenage journalist has gone viral after his coverage of the clashes in Amsterdam for the page "Bender" has gained critical acclaim.
He documents the Maccabi Tel Aviv hooligans carrying wooden planks and poles, running in packs across this city earlier this week.
He also gets instructed by one of the hooligans to 'stop filming for his own safety'.

🚨 BREAKING: JUST STOP OIL SUPPORTER ARRESTED AT HOME

⛓️ Following the @Daily_Express "undercover investigation" at a publicly advertised "secret meeting", Sam has just been arrested at his home.

💻 @metpoliceuk have taken his son's school laptop, and his wife's laptop for the second time.

[Howard Beckett @BeckettUnite]

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese once again nails it:

•It is not a ‘war’, there are not two armies;
•This is a settler, colonial occupation;
•It is a genocide and needs to end now.

Stop arming Israel 🇮🇱 today

Recognise Palestine 🇵🇸 before it’s too late.
