Looking at some rough statistics for the Fediverse tonight and it appears that since November 4 that there are now 1,785 more instances or nodes in the network. About 60 of those are WordPress-based sites!

Waaaahhhh, we hijacked the Republican Party with our fascist nationalist movement centered on election denialism and a Trump personality cult that destroys anyone who disagrees with it.

Why won’t the old party normies help us? Waaahhhhhh. https://t.co/VtFnQdE6jQ

I mean... We went from "power to the people" to "there is no choice but for Twitter to be the final arbiter" in like a week and a half of confusion.

Maybe next time you burn billions, take a minute to understand why the business you bought operates the way it does. https://t.co/yn7ymaa3nL

I’m not saying Mastodon wouldn’t benefit from some UI improvements, but I suspect that at least some of the people complaining about how complicated it is weren’t early adopters of Twitter. And by "early adopter", I mean anything before 2010 or so. Trust me, early Twitter was fairly complicated.

Regarding the Fedified project: I’m against its desire to be a centralized verifying authority, but I also recognize that for a lot of Twitter expats, they don’t have a website they control on which to place a link to their Mastodon profile with a rel attribute, and I think those of us who have been part of the fediverse/federation/indieweb for a while should probably grant some space on this.

Bulletproofing Embedded Tweets by Adrian RoselliAdrian Roselli (adrianroselli.com)
You may rely on embedding tweets in your posts as a quick and easy way to quote or reference a person or subject. There are two challenges to relying on this, however: A tweet or account may be deleted or go private; The content may not be accessible to users…

Useful for when Twitter goes completely sideways.

Yet again another example of how when someone says they're a 'free thinker' or 'independent minded', it just means that they're a generic RWer too embarrassed to state it publicly. https://t.co/5WupM5vDKZ

“I hope EM succeeds with Twitter” is becoming an indefensible position. I hope Twitter survives, but his behavior, including the childish response to Sen. Markey, makes clear he is a fundamentally unserious person who has no business running anything important.
