A reminder for fedi-vetarans 

For example, watch out for newish account posting frivolous comments about important issues. These are *not* intended to start a good faith discussion, but to signal allegiance to one tribe or another. So responding with anything other than enthusiastic agreement will result in being blocked or, much worse, dogpiled by their tribe. For the sake of your own mental health, please don't take the bait. I've always fallen for this once, so this reminder is for me too ☺️

There's still a social contract at the Fediverse, you can't just go around being a wanker and demanding people be okay with it.

This is also true at Twitter, with a number of users hoping they'll be allowed to call people retards again.

I saw on Twitter one user saying they didn't want to leave because they had "...built a community here", but this, *this* is the great strength of the Fediverse. You can't be evicted from something you own.

So to be clear, small instances (many cooperatively) run trying to make a fairer and decentralised alternative is *shuffles deck* BAD

There's a communist on Twitter (Okay, we're already in the toilet at this point) who is arguing Mastodon is bad because it's not state-owned, and what they should really do is take over Twitter.

The worst things about eternal september is morons on Twitter trying to dunk on Mastodon when it's clear they're normal oeuvre is complaining about clippy

I've said it before but I love the multilingual timeline I get here. It's like sitting in an airport lounge and just listening to everything, even though you don't understand it, you take warmth from the flow of people's conversation.

Imagine your Tesla EV encountering another vehicle which does something you don't like. With Twitterverse integratiion your car can automatically tell that other car to go and fuck itself, and with FreeSpeech+ (10.99/month) they can't even complain!

Is Elon Musk buying Twitter really a bigger reason to leave Twitter than Twitter already was? Are you still on Facebook? Isn't Zuckerberg rich enough to leave?

I have made on offer on sully.site, and sully.site's shares are currently suspended on the NYSE until they decided to accept my 15 fucking dollars

I've made it to Babylon 5 S3 and I'm very impressed with the long form writing. I don't think you'd see something written like this now, not because people wouldn't follow but because showrunners have an extremely low opinion of viewer's ability to do so.

Someone really needs to get the word out that .social != the fediverse,.

Plus his behaviour during the nascent Pleroma days was very fucking suss.

I can't quite put my finger on why I think this, but I see Eugen as little better than Musk. An inveterate self-promoter that has done very well out of Mastodon. Whenever anything happens at Twitter, he's *always* ringing the bell.

"Fuck YOU ASSHOLE"

"CAR DO NOT TWEET THAT"

I cannnot wait for twitter to be integrated into the Tesla OS
