Unless something major changes, this is my last tweet. I won't delete my Twitter account for the sake of preventing imposters. I may lock it later. I'll still check DMs for a while, as that's how I communicate with a lot of people who are important to me. So, yeah. Bye. 🥲👋❤.

Social media exists due to all of us devoting our precious time & attention to it. Years ago I quit FB because I believed it was doing more harm than good & its CEO was unlikely to change for the better. I didn't want to be a part of that. I feel the same now about Twitter.

Twitter no longer allows you to post links to Mastodon profiles 🤨. And the link to my Mastodon profile that I already had in my Twitter bio now comes with a "this link may be unsafe" warning when youv click it. 😔

Twitter has shut down the official Mastodon account, which had about 175,000 followers:. Its bio used to say: "At Mastodon, we present a vision of social media that cannot be bought and owned by any billionaire."

Re-upping this tool because I just used it again and found a bunch more Twitter friends who have recently joined Mastodon. Also: Is anyone aware of a similar tool to quickly find Twitter friends on Post?.
This is the best tool I've seen yet for finding your Twitter friends on Mastodon. I just used it and it quickly found 160 accounts on Mastodon out of the 1,894 people I follow on Twitter. With one click, I now follow all those folks on Mastodon too.

A while ago I was asked if I could make a web app that estimates how much federal carbon tax you pay vs. your rebate. Finally had a chance to do that!. 🔗: Thoughts & feedback welcome. (It's based on the 2023/24 year, which starts April 1, at $65/tonne.).
@CBCFletch Do you have a 2022 calculator like this for the Federal carbon tax? Many people would appreciate it.

Every “chronically online” conversation is the same:. "People in their regular lives don’t react this way to things. It’s only on platforms where controversy and drama are prioritized for driving engagement where we’re rewarded for despising each other.".
