I joined @joinmastodon about 4 years ago. It was full of Linux users, people who were attacked on the bird site and special interest groups. Now-everyone is jumping ship I will add my handle here, its a Taiwanese instance I hide out on: @[email protected]

It’s time to confront a hard truth: Brexit isn’t working.

It’s had a detrimental effect in our capital and across our country.

We need a shift from the extreme, hard Brexit the Tories have imposed. https://t.co/qtZWD6tWOl

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

The disaster of Brexit, at a time when events mean we need European unity, is clearer than ever.

The British nationalists who predicted a Brexit domino effect couldn't have been more wrong!

Anyone can set up a Mastodon. The hard part is developing a follow graph over several years. Medium has that follow graph so setting up a new Mastodon + Medium suggests a lively experience rather soon. I've just signed up to https://t.co/x5SlCtTM7x and you can find me @[email protected]

WOW. Elon Musk's Twitter straight-up banned the account for #Mastodon. It had 174,000 followers.
I have to say that Mastodon has been really fun the past few months. More and more content over there.

Congrats to NIF for achieving this major breakthrough in fusion! For the first time an experiment reached fusion ignition.
#ITER DG Barabaschi said that future generation will recognize this achievement as a major milestone.

@jack thanks for mentioning us :) We're in the middle of a $ crunch currently (https://t.co/5QuIkx8rkd) and it would be amazing to talk funding, especially as we don't exactly compete with bluesky (or ActivityPub), being realtime comms rather than social media. 😇

The way to end the energy crisis is to help Ukraine win the war !

Weak sanctions give weak results… on both Russia and Iran !

What happens to Twitter can happen to Signal. They’re both cool, convenient platforms!

But decentralisation like @matrixdotorg provides is key. We need to be able to withdraw our trust and switch providers without losing access to the service. If not, we’re hostages.

[Derrick Johnson @DerrickNAACP]

In our meeting, Elon Musk made a commitment that he would do his part to protect the integrity of these midterms. But just days later, he fired employees at Twitter who oversee election mis- and disinformation.

So we called on companies to pause all ad spending immediately.

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

So one man @elonmusk now owns the biggest debate in the world…

The need for rules and accountability is bigger than ever !

Self-regulation in social media has never worked… even with lesser characters than his

@repkord @alienslacker @joshuartaylor This machine only recycles the walls of a bottle. However about 75% of the plastic by wait is in the top & bottom part.
Looking forward to a machine that can do the full bottle.

However it seams she has been taken back to Iran and has released a very forced sounding statement.
