I can’t in good faith continue to add content to this platform.

Just short of sixteen years here and it looks like it’s over. I’m very sad it’s ending, but hopeful that new, kinder, more equitable places will arise in its place.

On Mastodon, I now follow 25% the accounts I follow here.

Found https://t.co/UXbVdac5yD an interactive tool to follow folks you followed here, much nicer and simpler to use.

Not likely to be deleting, also not likely to be moving on instantly anywhere else.

Keeping unused accounts for your handle across social media helps to combat the risk of losing access and having someone else spew shit with your name.

The fundamental issue any Twitter competitor hits is Gail’s Law: “all complex systems that work evolved from simpler systems that worked.”

But Twitter refugees will undoubtedly want feature parity from the get-go.

NASA’s Orion capsule has reached the moon, whipping around the far side and buzzing the lunar surface on its way to a record-breaking orbit.

It’s the first time a capsule has visited the moon since NASA’s Apollo program 50 years ago.

@rahaeli This thread is really powerful. Thank you so much.

I’m so worried about all the people happily spinning up Mastodon instances with no idea of the hellish problems they will likely encounter.

Without Twitter, Ahmaud Arbery’s killers would’ve never been arrested. George Floyd’s death, even with the video, likely wouldn’t have sparked national outrage.

Without twitter, we’re at the mercy of news outlets for reporting & you see how they publish police reports as fact.
