no longer on Twitter - @[email protected]

As of a few days ago, Twitter shut off third-party API access, and leaked messages indicate it was intentional. And with that, I'm out. It's been a ride - see you all in the Fediverse! https://t.co/KHRQUMLaJO

People probably haven’t noticed, because I never posted that much and the algorithm just fills the timeline anyway, but I’m pretty much gone from Twitter now. For microblogging/social networking, I’ve found the fediverse (mastodon) to be vastly superior for almost everything. 1/n

If you’d like to see anything I post on a microblogging platform now or in the future, you can find me at @[email protected] ; and if you’d like to know more - I already wrote that: https://t.co/dbp60cfAH1 5/5

As a result, I’m about to commence the final step of all-but-leaving twitter: The Great Unfollow. It is very likely that if I currently follow you, I shortly won’t. It’s nothing personal - I’m unfollowing almost everyone. The criteria for not unfollowing are extremely narrow. 4/n

@JustJimWillDo “A pint’s a pound the world around” is a perfect encapsulation of imperial measurements *because it’s wrong in multiple ways*. A US pint of water weighs (only approximately) one pound, and that’s the only kind of pint that does.

@aliterative Wonderful!

@aliterative are you bringing Twist (or yourself in any other form) to the Melbourne Comedy Festival? I know shows are launched in batches, but I can’t see you there yet.

@thewildgoose well, not until now I didn’t…

@yarratrams tram number 3520 is leaking significantly from the roof, especially near articulation

They can hardly end it after they are elected in March 2023 if they already voted to end it now, can they?

@Reynardo_red @thewildgoose @HeyIts_Meg @spaghettithighs @chaucerburnt true… I guess we own the ship now. Is 120GP expensive for a ship? Wonder what it had on board…

If a website’s search function has a “did you mean …?” feature, which automatically returns those results instead of what you actually typed, it should be legally required to provide a “no I fucking didn’t” button.

According to this, @FionaPattenMLC has voted against abolishing group voting tickets. This seems incongruous, considering how much Reason generally supports democratic principles. Is there a reason behind the reported defence of preference-whispering?
