Immensely disgusted and put off by Twitter's new policy to ban Mastodon and other competing social media off the platform.

Elon Musk took me, and many others who thought to give him a fair chance, for fools, and we were naïve to think he deserved the benefit of the doubt.

It's no coincidence that this was announced during the World Cup final. The dishonesty is more than skin-deep.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the collective FOSS community can help Mastodon and similar projects grow.

this site is a dangerous place to solicit advice, but... if you can think of a way that I can link the bots to their fediverse equivalents, I'm all ears

I'm annoyed with myself that I didn't get the Mastodon URLs into the profiles of my birdsite bots earlier, where they could've been useful to migration tools. Now the links get flagged as "malware" if I try to add them.

what an absolute slap in the face to anybody continuing to embarrass themselves with claims that twitter or elon were acting out of some commitment to free speech

this is hilariously bad. it manages to stand out against a background of two months of bad decisions. a bank freezing withdrawals does not inspire a lot of confidence
