Joe Hill, IWW, Oct. 7, 1879 – Nov. 19, 1915 "Fire — go on and fire!"
The copper bosses shot you Joe,
they killed you Joe, says I
Takes more than guns to kill a man
Says Joe, I didn't die
Standing there as big as life
Smiling with his eyes
Joe says, What they forgot to kill
went on to organize!
I never died, says he

As many have pointed out, Twitter serves as today’s “digital news wire” and recreating that is essential to a competitor platform’s success. Only if news organizations migrate to Mastodon (even if they keep posting on Twitter) will the platform truly grow.

important advice for leaving twitter
don’t deactivate or delete your twitter account unless you’re happy for someone else to get your username and perhaps post “as you” after the grace period, or sooner — with sinkboy who knows

Here’s an interesting fact: Trump’s Twitter account just came back online and it has only 2.8 million followers. If memory serves, this is down from more than 80 million when the account was suspended. What explains the more than 90 percent decrease? Is it that a huge number of his followers left? That they were purged in bot purges? That they were fake to begin with with?

The guy who complained about bots on the platform used a poll knowing full well that bots would vote to reinstate 45.
I don't recall every tweak I made to the email config, but this helped

This helped in sussing out the correct S3 bucket policies
Setting up a mastodon droplet on Digital Ocean was fairly quick and easy (just took some fiddling w/ email & Amazon S3 settings)

And we know what a stickler Trump is when it comes to following federal regulations and ensuring shareholders’ rights are upheld
Mayes: 1,254,096
Hamadeh: 1,253,246
There are an est. 1,200-3,600 remaining Maricopa County ballots to be counted, including the final early ballots to be cured, provisional ballots & Election Day ballots. The "door 3" ballots have all been counted.
Officials will update with another drop on Sunday.
It's worked fine for me. Give Debirdify a shot as an alternative
Maricopa reports an estimated 3,359 ballots yet to tabulate in Arizona's election.
Maricopa County tabulates 1,948 ballots, with Kris Mayes padding her margin by 199 votes, as she leads Abe Hamadeh by 850 votes in the race for Arizona attorney general.
2,590,701 ballots have been tabulated in the election.

The Awesome and Powerful Musk has decreed -- after floating a meaningless "poll" guaranteed to come out the way he wished -- that Trump will return to Twitter.
Silver lining: It'll burn the sucker investors in Trump's laughable "media" company.
