@christyxcore I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
@christyxcore Wait - was Ivory released, or do you have a beta?
@marcelias Must either be a new thing, or my server is so small they don’t recognize it in my profile.

I reviewed the ShiftCam SnapGrip on Digital Trends. It’s becoming another favorite MagSafe accessory of mine, but you can also use it with any phone thanks to magnetic stickers. It turns your phone into a pseudo-DSLR with the wireless shutter button and grip! It’s also a battery pack for MagSafe devices! Pretty cool and highly recommend it!

@TransitBiker Marco Hall. They have it in for him and don’t want to get their own hands dirty. They want someone to deck him.

Remember: Running a Mastodon server well isn't free or even cheap. If you have the means consider financially supporting not just the Mastodon project generally, but also your local instance.
There's likely to be another stampede of new users here, and while more voices will make this system richer and more useful, they can also put a strain on existing resources.

You’re not going to fight him by staying on Twitter. You’re going to fight him by helping him fail. That means staying *off * Twitter.
Do I have to draw a diagram or something?
@Anarcat@kolektiva.social Are you asking the developer to create a donate button for every instance? Just do it from the web.
@juddlegum If you fly on *his* private jet.

The purge has begun
Journalists suspended from Twitter so far tonight:
• @atrupar (WaPo)
• @drewharwell (WaPo)
• @rmac18 (NYT)
• @donie (CNN)
• @mattbinder (Mashable)
• @micahflee (The Intercept)
• @webster (freelance)
The man is embarrassing. How he even made it through med school is beyond my understanding.

I volunteer to write the next chapter of THE TWITTER FILES on how the decision was made to deactivate the accounts of a bunch of journalists that reported on Musk
Just send me all the internal communications.
My email is in my bio.

Remember: Twitter is Elon's company, he has the free speech and free association right to run it pretty much however he wants and to ban people for petty narcissistic reasons.
And we have the right to laugh and point at his ridiculousness and at the free-speech pretenses of his gullible fans.

@donniecash818 Because people are leaving Twitter for Mastadon. Same people are still on the waiting list for Post, so it’s no competition.
