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.
Used https://t.co/0x42aAH1in to find the people I follow here on #Mastodon. 19/70 of the people I follow are already there! Thanks @bbatsov for the pointer.
Very eager to move to #Mastodon. Revived my old https://t.co/ZLykONn1BM account.
Does anyone know if there's a perceptible difference in responsiveness (e.g. home page load time) between different Mastodon instances? Should I migrate to a smaller instance?
The only appropriate response to Putin’s belligerent threats is to double down on supporting Ukraine. More sanctions on Russia. More weapons to Ukraine. More solidarity with Ukrainians. More businesses pulling out of Russia. More determination to hold Russia accountable.
The latest poll: 93% of Ukrainians say they are sure Ukraine will defeat Russia in war.
98% call Russia a hostile power.
As one can see, Putin is failing bitterly at trying to force Ukraine into surrendering via atrocities and his massive bombing campaign.
Ukraine says it will give Russian soldiers taken prisoner back to their mothers, literally.
Russian mothers need to make it to the Ukrainian border -- and they will meet their sons in Kyiv.

This is one of the Top 10 most prolific contributors to the Python programming language. He contributed more code than any currently sitting Steering Committee member. His life is in danger.
There is no "keeping politics out of programming", tech consists of real people.
