Senator @Paulatics Paula Simons rose today in Question Period in Canada’s Senate to ask the government why (the hell! - my words lol) Government is still using that platform of hate, misogyny and Russian misinformation called X!?

Boost to support the Senator!! And ask your MP, MLA, or other government representative wherever you are to do the same!!

Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter stops publishing on X.
“Since Elon Musk took over, the platform has increasingly merged with his own and Donald Trump's political ambitions, while the climate on X has become more harsh and extreme. Therefore, as it stands, we will not publish anything there from our official accounts”, says editor-in-chief Peter Wolodarski.

If you’ve just left Twitter/X welcome! You’ve come to the right place.

There is no algorithm here so we encourage lots of following and “retweeting”. You can also follow #hashtags as well.

Posts are sometimes called toots. Retweets are sometimes called boosts or retoots.

If you want people to follow you, be sure to have a profile picture, something in your description about you, and some engagement: posts, comments, stars, boosts. People also usually do a post that is an introduction to them (be sure to use a hashtag, #introduction) and it can help to pin that to your profile so people can boost it.

One thing we always try to do is add alt text to images for multiple reasons, you can read about that here:

People have added additional tips in the comments below which you may want to check out.

Many of us (all?) are grieving the US election now so comedy is appreciated.

Any other #FediMods / #FediAdmin seeing a #TwitterMigration right now? I'm seeing an above-average number of new #Fediverse users saying they just closed their Twitter account...


Victorian medicine chest, which contains medications for pain relief, such as opium. It also includes a set of scales, weights, a pill tile, and a spatula. It was probably used in the home or by an apothecary.

A photo of the Victorian medicine chest. It is open at the front to reveal glass bottles inside and various drawers containing instruments.


Hey Mastadon admins.... you might want to negotiate for some additional data space with your hosting partner. I gotta feeling there might be another surge of Twitter refugees...

During WWI, Marie Curie created a vehicle that contained a hospital bed, a generator, an X-ray machine and photographic darkroom equipment. These “petite Curies" (below) could be driven right up to the Front. Curie also helped train 150 women as radiology technicians.

Why #Mastodon and the #Fediverse are so important:

“Relying on market-based means of communication made it inevitable that sooner or later, the ruling class would get to determine who can speak and how.”

Fascinating analysis from the Economist: “In the four days after Elon Musk took the keys to Twitter, Republican members of Congress collectively gained around 470,000 followers. The opposite was true for Democrats in both chambers. Their House and Senate representatives lost 420,000 followers.”

Dear #TwitterMigration folks, an important tip on #privacy on the fediverse:

There is none.

This is a public medium; please treat it as such. Just as you have no privacy on Twitter (Elon Musk can read all your DMs), you have no privacy on the instance you’re on (your administrators can read all your posts).

You can set the visibility of a post but that’s a viewing suggestion, not a privacy guarantee.

Think of your posts as postcards, not sealed letters, and you should be fine.
