Kinda worried that the (apparent) wave of new Twitter refugees is a bunch of banned QAnon weirdos. I hope that's not the case because, if so, ick.

One of the things I enjoy most about Mastodon is the refreshing absence of a certain presidential moron trying to start a war or doing a whole array of varied and malicious racisms.

So, what's happening now, Mastodon?

Also, today Twitter is considering a subscription model, so. There’s that.

So, what did I miss? Seems there was a kerfuffle about Gab and Nazis or something?

Mastodon is looking swanky. It's come such a long way in such a short time. That's pretty cool!

It's always nice to see Mastodon is still chugging along nicely.

Wow. Mastodon/the fediverse got really ugly really quick. It took Twitter years to get that bad.
