In the past I use to think Elon Musk was pretty cool, I mean he made most of his money with internet stuff and setup a space company from the ground up..! Things I would also love to do..

But seeing what he has become the past years.. He has just become one big disappointment. I thought he was more "nerd-like" and kind to people but he really is just an ass ​ Not even arms or legs..

No all fun aside, personally I find it very sad to see such a big platform as Twitter just gets manipulated into being bought by a silly man who has way to much money.. We are small but I like to think this platform is all of ours and we all have a saying in it even though I mostly pay the bill. A social network isn't fun with a weird captain like Elon Musket or Mark Zukc-a-berg ​

Also, things will become slow. Some instances will have hiccups. There is a *lot* of new traffic coming their way!

Be patient, give it some time. I can assure you your instance admins are aware and are trying to figure out how to deal with all this. Give them space. Pressure won't help.

At the end of the day, fedi will be still there tomorrow, and the day after. The wave will pass. Improvements will have been made. We will all emerge a bit stronger and wiser. 😃

Welcome all new users!

If you try to escape the Musk Twitter thing you are in the right place

I made a browser extension that changes the word “billionaire” to “oligarch” and, well, it’s about as perfect as I was hoping.

Sometimes taking care of the hard things is self care. Get them done and you'll free yourself of that stress.

RT blocked me lol..

I hope they get blocked worldwide. Otherwise I'll do it myself, that's not even a website anymore 🕳️

#BREAKING Meanwhile fighting in most major cities right now, a tractor driver steals Russian military equipment in Ukraine. Things are so unorganized on the Russian side.
