@th3j35t3r It wasn't even just failure to protect. Even when he was complaining about too many bots to buy Twitter, it was clear there were tons of bot farms paid *on his behalf*. It was super disingenuous. It sure seemed like someone putting a fly in their soup to get a discount.

You are - for failing to protect your platform. Go on, ask me how I know.

Hey if you are not on Spoutible.com, you should try it out. I'm QuadCityPat over there too. So far it runs like Twitter when it was good and it should because Chris Bouzzy hired a bunch of fired Twitter people

RIP @CorreroM - I didn't know a lot but I knew enough. You were a good friend while I had the privilege of your aquaintance.

You will be missed and I wish I'd taken you up on some of your offers to go for a beer some time, some where.

Everyone I know who knew you, and those that I don't know, who knew you all say the same thing....

'WTF? He was a good man."

Just thinking about everyone and letting y’all know that I appreciate y’all and think of you often.

You may remember me posting to try and find someone who runs to run with my dog. It was a failure, lots of shares but nobody could run. Luckily, I figured out a solution. A treadmill.

This is your chance (lucky you!) to help fund it, it's a $600 toy and I am a disabled senior citizen on a limited income.

Feels really weird putting this out there like this but if you don't ask, you don't get. Apollo needs to run safely. ? $sri3m

My Apollo - i'm having a fundraiser to get the funds to get him a treadmill. I need to raise $600. Any help gratefully appreciated!

I have a little problem I need some help with. This is my very fine border collie service dog. As you can see he's getting a little portly. That's happening because I can't run with him because I need my knee replaced. If there are any kind hearted runners in Seattle who might like to run (and be shown up by a border collie while running, he is fast!) please get in touch? 🙏🏼

I had the absolute strangest dream last night. I was being chased by Jason Voorhees but when he finally cornered me and caught up to me, he just handed me his character sheet for a tabletop game. I was so bewildered I just stood there reading it and looking between it and him because I was worried he was still gonna stab me.

Some Xer asked: “If you had to pick an Anthem for Generation X... What would your choice be?”

It got me thinking more seriously than OP probably intended.

As a kid, it probably was Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” or “Fight the Power” by Public Enemy.

As a young adult, probably “Bittersweet Symphony” by The Verve.

But, in middle age, I think it’s got to be “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” by U2. There’s a lot of angry, confused folks in my demographic.

<shrug> My 2¢.

Gaetz doing this is like when my sister would take a puzzle piece and hide it and then find it at the last minute miraculously to complete the puzzle and claim the glory

Wow, Pete Aguilar calling out the seditionists and the sad truth of division and default.

Nominates Jeffries.

Amen.

@_L1vY_ I don't have a Mastadon account, but I do love the creativity and generosity of someone who creates, and then shares a work around 😀

@Superstitionsee I think he was somehow involved in CoSo too! I guess they're the same software 🤷‍♀️

@TessaForDemocracy Yeah, there is a whole lotta suck happening at once 😞 Makes it harder to stay afloat.
