When the status quo shouts "time to get back to normal" you can always reply, "time to make things better."

Twitter is cracking down on the sharing of Mastadon links and handles and will be suspending accounts. https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/status/1604531261791522817?s=20&t=x6XTplXyG9RK5YdbuL-12Q

@emptywheel @dangillmor Perhaps, get yourself on the various google docs and lists of verified journalists and their mastodon accounts to help us find you. And maybe when you delete your phone # if you were using it for 2-factor authentication, set up an authenticator app).

Good thing that little kid at parade-side didn't depend on twitter to say the emperor has no clothes.

Earlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am *permanently* banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

If you're still on Twitter, go into your settings and delete your phone number from your account, if you've added it. If you're using it for 2FA, switch to an authenticator app instead

Here’s my #introduction.

I am a climate scientist who studies the ocean carbon cycle and marine CO₂ removal (#mCDR).

I’m a professor at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. I’m also a co-founder and Chief Science Officer at [C]Worthy, which is creating open source tools for monitoring, reporting, and verification (#MRV) of mCDR.

According to the New York Times, here are my interests.

@bethsawin “Time to queer the norm.”

@ConserveChange yes! i was thinking the same thing

I really enjoyed the #JohnMastodon foolishness yesterday, really reminded me about what fun social could be..
But it’s worth noting: everyone notice how all the #AI renderings of him came out Caucasian? #Racism runs deep my friends, finds every crack to seep into unless we actively excise it.

The biggest irony of our times might be that the resistance to change is what will lead to more extreme climate change.

Time to expand the notion of change we can tolerate to prevent change that we can't.

When the status quo shouts "time to get back to normal" you can always reply, "time to make things better."

One thing that makes #ClimateChange inevitable is the belief that climate change is inevitable.

Going to put this message in a thread because I know a lot of you won't end up listening to/reading our year-end episode of Movement Memos, but may still need to hear this. "So if you’re thinking, 'I don’t know if I am ready to talk about hope, right now, Kelly, I feel like shit,' I get it, and I want to start by thanking you. I want to thank you for not shutting out the things that hurt. Because we all know it can be done. We’ve watched it happen, en masse." https://truthout.org/audio/navigating-grief-and-cultivating-hope-at-the-end-of-2022/

The CEO of Post.news founded Waze, which I was very early to join because I thought an independent mapping service was important to support. Then he sold it to Google for a billion dollars.

How high does the valuation have to go before he sells Post.news to a tech giant?

Some people "Things can't go viral on #mastodon

#JohnMastodon: "Hold my beer."

I can’t believe Elon Musk banned for tweeting this 😵‍💫 #twitter #elonmusk #twittermigaration #twitterexodus #tech #technews #journalist

As Twitter kicked me out of the so-called digital town square, I'm trying to embrace the open source Mastodon with high hopes.
Please say hello and help me to navigate through this new app.
