Going to filter out all Twitter retweets from my timeline here. Nothing personal, but since I won't click through to Twitter itself, there's little point in seeing these posts.

If you do want me to see something that's drawing attention at the birdsite, please post a link to the original URL (not the tweet/RT about it).

In defense of Elon Musk firing all those people (in the why, not the how), considering how little man power is required to run Mastodon, why did Twitter employ over 5000 people? 4700 sales people?
