Voters WAY over 30 don’t answer unknown cell calls either.RT @oneunderscore__@twitter.comBefore the next election, you might want to find a better way to poll anyone under the age of 30 since they would rather pick up a pinless grenade than a call from an unknown number.🐦🔗: https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/1590223092315750403

Musk says he will eventually not even show the tweets of people who don’t pay, unless users go and search for them on an entirely different page. Thus, effectively killing twitter’s utility in terms of both broadcasting and culling information.RT @gabehudson@twitter.comThen Musk described how Twitter will become only for Blue subscribers & non subscribers’ tweets will never be visible🐦🔗: https://twitter.com/gabehudson/status/1590483960085086208

RT @DanLamothe@twitter.comMilley asked: Is the time right to consider diplomacy in Ukraine?Milley says "there has to be mutual recognition" that a true military win is not achievable.Draws comparison to World War I, where victory was not achievable after 1914. Millions more killed in next few years.🐦🔗: https://twitter.com/DanLamothe/status/1590498643785961472

I’m still not understanding this US claim that Ukraine can’t win this war, when it keeps advancing on the battlefield, and the Russians are up a creek. As I’ve said before, Ukraine can’t win this war because the US doesn’t want Ukraine to win this war. We’re afraid of Putin.

RT @BenjySarlin@twitter.comIt's impossible not to see Trump WH/Elon Twitter parallels everywhere, but one early one is soft defenders going "Well, it's probably OK because there's this highly respected person there handling the real business" and then the person ends up resigning🐦🔗: https://twitter.com/BenjySarlin/status/1590824405583527938

RT @WillOremus@twitter.comTo be clear, Twitter employees were told *last night* they had to be in the office a minimum of 40+ hours per week starting *this morning.* Many do not live anywhere near a physical Twitter office, thanks to the firm's previous "work-from-anywhere" policy. https://twitter.com/HelenKennedy/status/1590769984242057218🐦🔗: https://twitter.com/WillOremus/status/1590770903348301825

This is the point I tried to make the other day: How freaking bad do Tesla’s have to be if this guy makes them? He’s all glitz, just like Trump, but there’s nothing under the hood.RT @EricKleefeld@twitter.comElon Musk took charge of Twitter less than two weeks ago.Would you want to get in a car he’d been in charge of building?

To everyone, like me, who is new here on Mastodon -- I swear, I feel like I'm in Canada, escaping Gilead -- here are two posts by the primary developer of the platform (and owner of the non-profit that holds the trademarks etc) explaining that you should ignore people lecturing you about what you should and shouldn't post here. I now consider this issue settled, and will no longer respond to these folks. Time to embrace Mastodon! Thank you for welcoming us.

@stux @kathygriffin @rmayemsinger The thing is, decent people know what's inappropriate, or at the very least, what should be behind a CW wall. It's not like simply because we come from Twitter we'd post pics of dead bodies, racism and explicit sex (though Twitter itself seems fine with the latter two!).

After earlier sharing a homophobic conspiracy theory about Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Elon Musk is now sharing a conspiracy theory about the Democratic Party How is someone this unhinged being permitted to handle defense contracts?

So, Mastodon just banned a post I made sharing a Newsweek article about the horrific crackdown in Iran. Yes, now Newsweek articles about the brave women in Iran are too much for you folks over here. Your community guidelines are actively harming marginal communities and the international human rights struggle. Just think about that, and think about the women in Iran, the next time you complain that it's too much to bear that some guy shared a Newsweek story.

I'm on the verge of publicly recommending that no one come over to Mastodon. Is there any server that isn't overrun by the always-offended crowd? We're talking folks who don't think all political posts are offensive, that food posts should be behind a trigger warning, and that posts sharing Newsweek article about the struggle of women in Iran aren't offensive and in need of deletion? Does any server meet these criteria?

I have NEVER had as much drama on Twitter in 14 years as I've had with you folks over the past 11 days. It's ironic, since this place is supposed to be the anti-Twitter, but in some ways, some of you are far worse. I'm taking a breather and getting backing to trying to help Ukraine, because I just can't anymore.
