I can't believe it's actually come to this but the blue tick / $8 shitshow that Diamond Mine Space Junk boy is turning this site into means I'm way less invested in this social media feed. If anyone wants me, I'll be over here 👉

It's unconscionable to me for people I know and respect to say "Oh I just can't be bothered" or "I don't understand those other platforms well", and instead choose to continue to tacitly endorse Twitter's values by remaining & engaging with the platform. There are better options!

@buildmaster @buzzyNZ @mexisme @DevNxt_NZ So it turns out the answer is "yes, most talks are". We'll edit the raw audio and publish it in the coming weeks. Follow our Discord server for details.

@Gutensie I think I worked out the confusion from last night about who's following whom. I thought you were talking about Mastodon. You can follow me there?

@five15design Mate, you know I admire you immensely and have all the respect in the world for you, but what sort of school did you think your boys were enrolling at?! The entire culture is structured around not changing.

My opinions about Musk's latest money grab by paywalling basic security like 2FA are over here: Come join me because I refuse to engage here and help feed Space Karen's ad revenue.

There’s only one day left to find your pals on Mastodon via Twitter before the free Twitter API gets shut down. Even if you’re not planning on leaving Twitter, it’s probably worth doing it anyway. Services that are still working:

So when Twitter shuts down its API access in a week, migration tools like the great from @Tibor will stop working. If you want to migrate your followers do it now!

@johncutlefish Incidentally, I appreciate it's yet another social media property you'd have to consider & curate, but it would be great if you opted to also join Mastodon. There's a pretty respectable community there now these days as well.

Absolutely irreparably fucked. You know where I'll be. This is utterly disgraceful, desperate and a completely anti-competitive assault on the free speech Space Karen so audibly rants on about. All well and good until the free speech comes for you, huh Elon? Petty little shit.

The zero-width space is a special character you can search, select and copy from the Windows character map, then paste it between characters in your #Mastodon URLs to obfuscate them and allow people to see the URL text before Elone gets his grubby hands on it.
