This is your occasional reminder that all the cool kids are on #Mastodon 🦣 now, not this hell-site. I wish you'd join me there — you can find me as @[email protected]

Among the people I miss from this site: Darren Naish, NHMdinolab, Parody Andrew Rilstone, Andrew Beasley.

Just a reminder to anyone who remembers me here: I, and all the cool kids, are over on Mastodon. It's great: like Twitter was at its best, but not vulnerable to a takeover. Come and find me: sauropods.win/@mike

this one just disclosed a vulnerability that would have allowed people to gain control of the twitter accounts of users who merely clicked malicious links

'Twitter will collapse. It’s not a question of if, but when. You’ll have to rebuild your followings elsewhere. The only question is, do you start now, encouraging your followers to migrate while you still have access to them?'

Come to Mastodon!

The Mastodon server I use is — hopefully only for a short time — down. It's amazing to me how much more I miss it than I ever missed Twitter, even when it was at its best.

The Raab report triggered this, my bullying story, as a🧵:

In the report there are comments like this:

'Unreasonably and persistently aggressive.'

'Abuse or misuse of power.'

'Undermines or humiliates.'

I recognised these immediately.
