Please tell me again about how Mastodon is harder to use than the site where you have to keep track of how many posts you read each day.

Stop worshipping billionaires.

Elon Musk threw away tens of billions of dollars to buy Twitter, and has spent the last year running it into the ground.

When billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech.

It’s a win for oligarchy.

Fran W boosted:

Ok friends I need you to listen closely:

Elon Musk doubling down and compounding his bad decisions is NORMAL. This is how rich assholes behave.

This is how they ALL behave.

We're going into a climate crisis. One that requires immediate action. We have unprecedentedly unchecked corporate power structures and an elite that has zero understanding.

And they will make WORSE decisions the more they are pressed.

The rich will destroy the world rather than admit they don't know what they're doing.

If this Government’s outright onslaught on British liberties - restricting our right to protest, robbing millions of workers of their right to strike & stripping back human rights doesn’t terrify you it damn well should! If you watch just one thing today please make it this!

There’s nothing that screams “free speech” like limiting the amount of posts people can view.

For the last two days, Elon Musk has been publicly freaking out about "EXTREME levels of data scraping," so added "temporary emergency measures" like blocking logged-out views and adding tight rate limits on viewing tweets. But, apparently noticed first here by @sysop408, a Javascript bug in the Twitter web app is self-DDOSing their servers, sending an endless loop of requests — which seems related to their scraping panic. https://waxy.org/2023/07/twitter-bug-causes-self-ddos-possibly-causing-elon-musks-emergency-blocks-and-rate-limits-its-amateur-hour/

The government had to make a choice as to who would survive Covid. The choice was people or financial services. It made the wrong choice. https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/07/02/the-government-had-to-make-a-choice-as-to-who-would-survive-covid-the-choice-was-people-or-financial-services-it-made-the-wriong-choice/

I will NEVER pay to use Twitter.
Musk can do one.

#twitterdown
I can’t post anything on the platform.

What an absolute joke.

Listen as an EU official, invited onto GMS to discuss Brexit, finds the interview hijacked but refuses to play along with Martin Geissler's attempt to suggest an Indy Scotland would find it difficult to join the EU. This kind of thing has been going on all morning on GMS. #bbcgms
