@StephenKing @HeidiPitlor All the individual network sites can choose to talk to each other and let users follow each other across sites.
"Anyone can use the software" includes Trump's tech staff over at Truth Social. They copy the software to their servers. Most other sites choose not to talk to TS.

@StephenKing @HeidiPitlor (Mastodon also has the edit feature already, so I could add the missing _has_ in the first sentence of my previous tweet :p)

@StephenKing @HeidiPitlor This obvious problems + obvious benefits: if you want to "join Mastodon" it is hard to figure out what site ("instance") you should join. However, if you find one based on interests or professions you are very likely to find interesting and likeminded people for networking.

@michaelharriot May I follow you on Mastodon somewhere? Always enjoyed your threads.

I'm surprised by how little understanding of a classroom context went into such a design decision. These kids are not even allowed to install random apps on the school's tablets. You violated the teacher's expectation of how the content would appear for nothing at all. #nearpod

[Hallvord R. M. Steen @hallvord]

The worst thing about testing #nearpod in the classroom was to have to teach all the pupils to close the "install our app" banner obscuring the content of the fast-paced quiz I had designed.. Ugh. Not well thought through :(

A dark money group is running ads promoting fossil fuels and attacking clean energy in the final weeks before the election.

The PAC has spent more than $1 million to reach voters in 7 swing states.

And someone just sent me documents revealing who's funding it.

Hi @sveltejs - can we please get this fix soon? I have hit this a few times in my Svelte-based side projects, and it is always hard to understand. It can also crash apps for users without devs realising due to common extensions like Google translate :(

Years ago, before verified accounts were a thing, back when I was on Eastenders, I was contacted multiple times by parents of children who had been “conversing” with me online. 11-15 year old children that had been talking with a fake me.
I was informed one of these children-

"I can think of no other internet executive who has done as much for actual free speech online than Vijaya Gadde"

Let THAT sink in..
