There’s a lot of political commentary about Marjorie Taylor Greene resigning, but one important point is this: she entered Congress in 2021 with an estimated net worth of about $700,000, and is leaving in 2025 with a net worth of roughly $25 million.

Centralised platforms shape the conversation to serve their interests.

#fediverse #socialweb #canada News!

mastodonserver.ca is now thesocialweb.ca

Its Fediverse handle should be updated automagically (i think?) to @directory

All servers and instances in Canada are welcome to get in touch and have their server listed on the webpage!

I'm proud that my Senator Mark Warner (D-Va) is consistently one of the smartest voices on cybersecurity in Congress. Warner took to the Senate floor today to warn about political purges at the FBI, and the apparent collapse of U.S. cyber defenses under this administration.

Mental note of an idea before I forget and never tell anyone: @thunderbird should adopt and dig in deep on being the best in class mobile and desktop client for #deltachat in addition to being an email and RSS reader. Compete on simplicity and features against closed, commercial Messangers, not […]

@robin.berjon.com is setting the stage at the #EuroSky summit in Berlin today. I hope it is being recorded because he has lots of interesting insights that pass by too quickly to even take notes.

Signal just released a "poll" feature with great fanfare, while all #deltachat apps already integrated a full suite of chat-shared apps, checklists, polls, shopping lists, calendar, editor + tons of games.

Better, anyone can create new apps, eg as […]

On #internationalmensday here's your periodic reminder, fellow AMAB prostate carrying people who are over 50:

Go see your doctor. Don't put it off. Ask for a DRE or a PSA test. Yes, DRE means a finger up your bum, get over it.

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I […]

We’re still an absolute skeleton crew of 14 people, competing with teams sometimes 100x as large as ours. To get to our humble team size was only possible through the less than 1% community members who donate to Mastodon, a handful larger donations, & EU grants, all of which we are forever […]
