Twitter verification is officially borked. After numerous trolls & spammers were verified internationally (it was suppose to be limited to 5 countries but Elon Musk did not think about VPN’s), Twitter now is declining new signups until they fix their system.

Also people who were previously verified before & who now pay $8 for Twitter Blue are receiving the dreaded “I paid Elon money to look important” & they are being dragged on Twitter for it.

The company might be bankrupt by next Christmas.

Despite the chaos, this is how I feel right now.

We are on the edge of a precipice, yes—but we are far from beaten.

A new generation is rising that will provide reinforcements & help us push back against the authoritarians are trying to strip away freedoms from us today.

It’s easy to give in to the gloom & doom, but we must never forget that we are not just fighting for ourselves but for the next generation as well.

I voted! Now I need to await the election results! https://darnell.app/p/darnell/495720853034817890

Yes! I do not know how @th3j35t3r is able to get sleep, but he is single handed defending his site against nefarious hackers who are jealous of what he has built! I can now access Counter Social via the API again!

That aside, if you have not upgraded to Pro, what are you waiting for‽ Do not be a Mooch! Upgrade today: https://counter.social/accmgt/getpro.php

Looks like the API for Counter Social is still down. Unable to connect via iPad right now.

🤣😂🤣 I think Elon Musk is at level 4 or 5 right now.

Content moderation is hard. It's why I solo host (Darnell.one) &/or join a heavily moderated forum (Counter.Social).

It's more of a potential long-term human extinction threat. Earth & the orbits of the asteroids are not in sync.

😂🤣😂 I came across some interesting promo videos for Counter Social on YouTube!

This is a random promo made 6 months ago: https://youtu.be/ol11OLA16ls

This is a rap video made 3 years ago (the hype is real bro!): https://youtu.be/gKpUi7pHmd0

Enjoy!

#CoSoTips If the Counter Social web layout is overwhelming (a complaint I saw here & on Twitter), I advise using the official Counter Social iPhone / Android apps instead.

For iPad I suggest using the official Mastodon iPad app. Unless you have a technical mind, one to three columns is usually the most people desire to handle.

If you desire to upload media (pictures & videos), you will need to use the official Counter Social App or Counter Social in a browser. Visit @CoSoTips for more tips!

Yeah, we will get a taste of this if Trump is re-elected President.

Jailing reporters would cripple the 1st Amendment.

#HoldTheLine

Authoritarianism is attempting to sweep the globe again.

I think this will be the most important midterm election of my entire life. To quote Captain Picard, “This is about saving the future of humanity.” Choose Wisely.
