It seems like a good day to highlight this short video presentation I made last year at an academic conference and posted to my own website:

Sharing this thread again because like, yeah, lots of people are really into Mastodon all the sudden but you know what's better? not getting stuck in the dopamine trap that is an endlessly refreshing engagement-oriented timeline
Just a reminder, the best way to follow me and find ways of getting in touch is from my personal website, beesbuzz.biz. Personal websites are great since control of them ...
Not sure why, but seems like a lot of people on Twitter are sharing this link about downloading an archive of your data: twitter.com/settings/downl…

Back to the open web I go! 😃 Everything I publish from here on out will start on my own properties and then get syndicated elsewhere. I'm done creating content for walled gardens…

There’s no such thing as a “religious absolutist”. We call them religious extremists. @elonmusk is a free speech extremist.
That’s funny, the damage doesn’t look as bad from out here.
Apropos of nothing, but since there’s a new flurry of Mastodon users, this is me: xoxo.zone/@nadreck
People “cleverly” referring to Elon Musk as an “African American” as if that makes him any sort of minority is one of many reasons why the term “African American” was never actually a good idea.
This seems fun: @DraculaDaily
It's not just Twitter. I'm using Revue for my personal blog's email newsletter, which is owned by Twitter.
I'll likely switch to @ConvertKit…they've been great for my @fullstack_ruby newsletter. Yay for the indie web is the takeaway here I suppose. 🤪
I won't be deleting my accounts and leaving if Elon Musk buys Twitter.
However, I will simply use them to link to content I publish elsewhere. Goodbye Twitter community....
While we'll never be able to recreate and recapture precisely what Twitter is (was?), I do think that the best option for most people looking for community, a great place to post and read content, ease of use, and appropriate moderation, check out Micro.blog.
Apple has hired well known anti-union lawyers in an escalating fight with workers who are unionizing with the Communications Workers of America. It’s the same firm that is representing Starbucks.
Also, I’m back from leave. Send me tips!

Whoa. If I didn't have Important Things To Do, I'd immediately be livestreaming about this private acquisition of a publicly traded company from a securities perspective.
This is a good thread about some issues with federated social media. It also ends on an important note: if the who-blocked-who drama of servers doesn't bother you so much, it's worth a shot.
Because I'm sure the topic is going to come up now that Twitter is being bought by everyone's least favourite dickhead, so I'm going to try to briefly explain why Mastodo...
oh my, recruiters going to have a field day at twitter
