Took them long enough.
- What's it looking like for a third party? Action 2.5 years later isn't action at all. We tried the "please barely don't be fascists" and it didn't work. Where are we going to put our vote to move forward?
There are real risks with relying on a private company, owned by Elon Musk, as a channel for communications
Damn right. Time to fire up a mastodon instance.
- The government really should be using Mastodon since it is decentralized and FOSS.
Everybody should leave X.
- Join Bluesky and Mastadon

  Why? So the same thing can happen as with X? Jack Dorsey is yet another unhinged billionaire with problematic views of his own.
  Federation is the only answer.
Too little too late
