Elon Musk is not showing signs of becoming any less erratic - and so it's making more and more sense to build community - for the long term - on the fediverse.Also there are more people developing the knowledge, love-of-concept and comfort/habit of Mastodon needed to make this a reliable environment to build in.And there's a lot of creative potential too.I'm very much liking it.

We now not only have all our #Bylines publications on Mastodon......but are now shifting them to our new Mastodon server (http://Bylines.Social) We're the first UK media outfit, that we can see, to take the step of setting up a Mastodon server (instance) to provide content.I think that's worth a little love ♥️ So please do follow and assiduously reblog:@BylinesNetwork @YorksBylines @NWBylines @NEBylines @WEBylines

If you're wondering what the #JohnMastodon thing is about......here you go. Captured by the Wayback Machine for you, as the author has since realised he'd misread the Join Mastodon account name. 😂 And thusly, the legend of John Mastodon is born.

@greenback Lol yes - always a possibility.Although he seems to have calmed down with that and it just churning out garbage lowbrow political opinion instead.

Wowzer. Absolutely scandalous. We live in a profoundly corrupt country.

Just saying it as it is... Brexit is a failed experiment. It's fine to experiment, but we can't just sit around now. It's time to plans to rejoin, step-by-step, rebuilding our business links, cultural bonds, opportunities, trade, science, security & more.https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/mike-galsworthy-brexit-has-failed-and-we-must-be-ready-to-rejoin-step-by-step/

"In December last year, Resolute 1850 Ltd was incorporated in the UK. With a thinktank soon to be launched and funds from MAGA, American Big Tech and the US religious right already pledged, it seeks to use Reform as a vessel to bring Project 2025-style policies to the UK." 🤬https://yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/resolute-1850-reform-uk-ltds-maga-plan-to-turn-britain-into-little-america/

Nothing good has come of privatising the Uk’s Critical National Infrastructure, so there is now a strong case for renationalising. https://northwestbylines.co.uk/business/why-renationalising-the-uks-critical-national-infrastructure-is-vital/
