    Keep pressuring all journalists, celebrities, brands, and influencers to delete their accounts or at least stop posting there (and publicly say so). Twitter’s only power to spread untruths is the eyeballs still watching it.

    I know this will shock everyone, destabilize the entire Xitter platform, and here goes… I will no longer post there, either.

        I got locked out of twitter years ago pre-musk. Would have deleted my account, but it was a hassle. So I left it behind like the POS it was and still is. Onward!

    Seems Vance threatening tariffs to nations that limit musks political bull.

    Has made the political corruption so obvious it can’t be ignored.

    Good guy The Guardian. For my fellow Brits, here is your regular reminder that there are only two major independent news outlets in the UK: The Guardian and the BBC.

    Responding to the announcement, Musk posted on X that the Guardian was “irrelevant” and a “laboriously vile propaganda machine”.

    The Guardian is rubber, and Musk is glue.

      We don’t have a Mastodon server, do we?

      I joined Mastodon years ago, but the server I joined was always a bit moribund and I sort of lost interest. Wouldn’t be against someone doing a Fedwitter.uk

      (It should not be called Fedwitter.uk under any circumstances)

        I mean, we should be able to interact with mastodon via fedipub, right?

        If we had a separate server, it might be messy, as then there are two sets of accounts.

          You can use Mastodon to interact with Lemmy content and vice versa, but generally speaking the user experience isn’t good. Lots of manually typing URLs and trying to figure out what you’re looking at when you get there.

          In theory you could host a Lemmy and Mastodon server under the same domain (using subdomains, e.g. lemmy.feddit.uk and mastodon.feddit.uk), but they’d be different servers in most ways that matter. I presume they would maintain separate user account databases (without some concerted hacking).

            I presume they would maintain separate user account databases (without some concerted hacking).

            I’m hoping at some point that different services will allow shared logins (with APIs it should be relatively straightforward) or a separate ID service (ActivityPods?).

              I don’t know why I forgot this, but there is of course already a solution for this; mbin/kbin, which has both Lemmy-like and Mastodon-like interfaces on one platform.

              Not that I’m actually suggesting anything you understand. Just recalling that this is a thought process someone’s already had at least once!

      Immediately critising someone/a group for doing the right thing but not doing enough/quickly enough is probably one of the main reasons its so hard to get traction for progressive politics. It’s incredibly tiresome.

        Agreed, it comes off as petulant and is really grating when fellow supporters get all smarmy when said individual/group doesn’t immediately adopt the next thing in progressive politics the nanosecond it enters public discussion.
