  1. Around 88% of Twitter's staff have now left since elonmusk took over. I've downloaded my archive just in case the whole lot comes tumbling down. Come and find me at Mastodon. It's much nicer over there. simonlucas.social/@simon

  2. I’m really enjoying being on Mastodon. It feels just like Twitter ten years ago. Plus I’m not beholden to any huge, profit-focused social media companies using it. I’ve started my own server. If you know me and would like to give it a go just let me know. Free of course!

  4. Rather enjoying playing with Mastodon at the moment. I like the lack of ads and the fact that it’s decentralised and not owned by a billionaire. Seems like a great antidote to many of the ills of the existing social networks. I’m (now!) at @simon@simonlucas.online. (Posh, eh?!)

  5. I’m currently exploring Mastodon. First impressions is that it’s very quiet. Lots of tumbleweed rolling around and very few people I would follow. mastodon.online/@simonlucas

  7. Ooh people in the UK can now get Twitter Blue with verification! For just $7.99 *and no proof of ID* we can get a blue tick to “prove” that we are who we say we are.

  11. Reading this back perhaps I should clarify that it’s the cafés that are tired and dirty, not the disinterested staff! simonlucas/1588931673009180673

  12. It used to be a real treat to visit a CostaCoffee. They all seem to be shockingly awful these days. Tired, dirty, disinterested staff, poor availability, and today, unable actually to process any transactions… Thank goodness for new wave independents!

  13. I really don’t get this… When we use Teams to meet remotely at work (a) I don’t have to wear a cumbersome headset, (b) I can actually see my colleagues and not a weird avatar, and (c) we have legs… I would ask if this Meta stuff has legs-but clearly it doesn’t! MetaQuestVR/1585693017373016077
