Anyone else reading this #WindsorFramework and seeing that it going to explicitly lead to divergence North/South and as a result, a harder and harder border in Ireland over time?

I guess $44 billion buys you the right to decide how a billion people communicate. $44 per person. It's on the people involved to stay or leave. I'm just here to watch him unravel. Moving to mastodon.

When your town government runs 100gb fiber into your basement or garage, it will have a much harder time blocking you from, say, running a #Mastodon instance devoted to election denial or GhostGun production than your commercial ISP will. 21/

At Mastodon, we present a vision of social media that cannot be bought and owned by any billionaire. Your ability to communicate online should not be at the whims of a single commercial company!

Getting pretty sick of this. I’m at a UN biodiversity conference, ten sandwich/bagel/wrap options at cafe here. Only one that doesn’t contain meat. How is this message not getting through. #Cop15 Also hardly any mention of dietary changes in the text. (1/2)

Twitter is not a public square, it is a personal fiefdom. Pick one of the three first platforms, and set up around account. There are tools to migrate your followers. Get off with your social graph while you still can. #IrishTwitter

Great to see @mastodonie at the top of the @opencollect monthly leaderboard. I've been delighted to see so much of my #IrishTwitter network move over, would be great to see the other half over there! Mastodon(dot)ie has hit a critical mass of users that it is worth the the move

Emperor Musk ruling Twitter with the capricious 'wisdom' of the baying mob rather than any principles or policies. Is this a platform you want to be invested in as a user in 2023? theguardian.com/technology/2…
