Guys there’s another way to do this! Since trying Mastodon I’ve noticed how I came to accept exposure to cruelty & hostility as part of the deal of being able to talk to you. The clicks algorithm is not necessarily our connection master. How refreshing to be reminded of that.

Update: company sources tell me that yesterday Twitter eliminated ~4,400 of its ~5,500 contract employees, with cuts expected to have significant impact to content moderation and the core infrastructure services that keep the site up and running. People inside are stunned.

It is so strange to come back to Twitter after being mostly on Mastodon for a few days. The anger of it all sticks out so much more. The constant rage and pain of it. It radiates from almost every tweet.

Story to be updated soon with more: Am hearing that several “critical” infra engineering teams at Twitter have completely resigned. “You cannot run Twitter without this team,” one current engineer tells me of one such group. Also, Twitter has shut off badge access to its offices.

This is a low-key announcement but raises the possibility of Tumblr federating together with Mastodon (the biggest ActivityPub-based network). That would be great! I've very little interest at this point in joining Hive or anything else centralised. Federation is the future.

I notice that it is *not* against the ridiculous new Twitter rules to link to your own personal website, which then contains links to all those other places to follow you. Another reason to set one up!
