The #DHS's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services really should look into #ElonMusk's naturalization file.
#NATO is fighting all but an official proxy war in #Ukraine against the #Russian aggressor.
This is not free speech. This is aiding and abetting the enemy. Some might even call these remarks #treasonous.
Also, it is a shame and a #SecurityRisk that #USCIS.gov is only on billionaire's-owned social-media platforms, including #Twitter, and not on #Mastodon.

@br00t4c #Musk and #Zuckerberg have given the #world every justifiable reason to dump #twitter and #meta including #instagram.
Since choosing to align themselves with #trump and #fascism their platforms have irrecoverably devolved into cyber hellscapes. No one needs this garbage.
Privacy Guides
X/Twitter time and time again proves itself to be an unfree platform, and a dangerous place to seek privacy and security advice.
Decentralized platforms like Mastodon are the most obvious path forward to avoid censorship and preserve free access to knowledge. Despite this, many continue to rely on Twitter as their exclusive means to stay up to date on the latest trends both in privacy/security and the wider world.
Due to this censorship, these folks will have increasingly large blind spots in their personal knowledge. How do we finally convince people to protect themselves against this ever-growing threat?

If Elon Musk hates Signal and bans all mention of it on Twitter, then you know it's good, you know it's necessary now.

You could hardly ask for a better/stronger endorsement for Signal.

Estoy leyendo toots sobre como #twitter se vuelve peor y peor, lo abandone justo a tiempo, también quisiera dejar Facebook y si bien por muchos años 2016-2020 no tuve Facebook activo lamentablemente si es un poco útil para encontrar información de eventos de mi ciudad y migrarlos fuera de ese ecosistema es casi imposible :(

How this weekend’s ‘#Tesla Takeover’ protests against Elon #Musk came together on #Bluesky - https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/14/how-this-weekends-tesla-takeover-protests-against-elon-musk-came-together-on-bluesky/ hugely important that bluesky is now big enough to take on the role that #twitter had before it descended into toxic madness

The era of #Mastodon being “small and comfy” is now over.
Because the #SocialWeb is the only space where actual decentralization of social media happens, and to that end, it’s time we invite actual marginalized people over here – regardless of whether they’re a “cultural fit”.
Why? Because #Russia is demanding that Elon Musk hand over names of dissidents, and it’s highly likely he will do it.
This isn’t the only time state actors have made this demand, but Big Social is now happily acceding to them.
Some folks believe that my advocacy of a bigger Social Web makes me a dirty capitalist. On the contrary, allowing the likes of #Facebook and #Twitter to own the public square is actual capitalism. Surveillance capitalism at that.
The power of a social network is only as good as its network effect. If Mastodon remains small, its impact will be minimal. But if it’s large? Then true democracy might just be preserved.

The rumors of the site formally known as #Twitter dying might be an exaggeration.
More brands are also returning, & I think it’s because (for better or worse), the center of the political social, tech, finance & sports is on #ElonMusk’s site.

The best alternatives are #Threads & #Flipboard, but neither are tolerant of the vitriol that populates X.
