Mastadonians of #sfbasocial,

I am handing in my #bayarea residency card (wine country chapter). If you wish to continue following me, will be eventually moving servers to something more friendly to Playa Del Rey.

You read that right. As a lifelong #NorthBayCA resident, born in #SF and a lifelong #sfgiants fan, I regret to inform you all I am moving into Dodger territory as a resident of LA county.

Begrudgingly,

Ryano

@jake I'm a Woodford fan.

@Jacopo I believe you. Now relent and repent.

Infuriating that journos are allowing themselves to take the bait of that non-statement as a policy, when the actual story is "Elon Musk says he isn't ready to quit yet; despite poll saying he would"

Elon Musk to fake-quit as CEO of birbsite at some point in the future when he eventually wants to

There, I fixed your headlines folks

@Jacopo I think this is the first time I've questioned following you...

@ai6yr dude...these leaves are HUGE.

Here’s what really happened in the stalking incident Musk cited to ban @elonjet. Read @drewharwell and my latest story https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/18/details-of-musk-stalking-incident/ #twittermigration #twitterexodus #twitter #tech #technology

@ai6yr @chadgoode the best.

Also, even if you're not there substantively anymore, a good time to rerun Fedifinder (or similar tools) to see how many folks have transitioned since you last checked, since those tools will likely be *much* harder to use reliably very soon https://fedifinder.glitch.me/

lmaoooo when they roll out the autoblock soon it's gonna hit Jack too

Twitter formalizes blocking of accounts and tweets that encourage readers to follow you on other social media sites, including Mastodon.

Specific examples of violating tweets given in the policy:

> “follow me @username on Instagram”

> “username@mastodon.social”

https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/social-platforms-policy

There's always a tweet.

@micahflee what a petty little prick.

I'm not saying there are a lot of viral infections going around right now, but when the NY Times feels the need to publish a list of symptoms so you can figure out which of four illnesses you have, that might be saying something.
The rate of COVID positive testing is at its highest point in three months in the US. The US rate of flu hospitalization is up 50 to 100% in the past two weeks across all age groups. Masks on to protect yourself and your family this holiday season!

@micahflee what a perfectly useless endeavor.

@JoshMend I am riveted to read this when it's published.

Twitter just disbanded its trust and safety council, per an email shared with Platformer

One thing I'm seeing a lot more of since #TwitterMigration is Black and Indigenous people being inundated with comments about how we just don't know how masto/fedi works and that's why we're not finding community.
Problem is that it's developed into a trolling tactic by the altright/nazis et al to create a hostile environment for #BlackMastodon and PoC in general, so my recommendation is to block on sight.
White people who Aren't Like That: you've got the chance to not become collateral damage.

@froomkin none of the words used in either sentence mean anything other than a "wash".
