Noticed a flood of new people showing up / following on Mastodon so I figured some kinda fucked up shit was happening over here. Do feel free to migrate, the weather is fine on the non-profit, ad free, Elon Musk free alternative. Miss you all ... well most of you.

Already 47k people following ElonJet on the platform Elon doesn't like.

FYI twitodon.com has a handy script that will quickly scan your twitter follows for Mastodon addresses.
