Good read. It feels similar here. We've been programmed for decades to feel that Palestinian lives don’t matter, but younger generations are seeing through that bias.

There’s a big reason Joe Biden is losing younger voters: Israel and Palestine

What I love about #Mastodon is that when I "accidentally" refresh my timeline after having seen an interesting post, I can still find it! Just like where it was before!

I'm all for an algorithmic timeline (for myself - I've got a punch of ideas how I'd like my feed sorted, and if you want it perfectly chronological, more power to you), but heck, it needs to be a stable sort.

Just spent 30 minutes on Meta #Threads. And that's enough for me. It's as though Instagram and Twitter had a baby.
When it federates, it'll bring a lot more content we can follow on Mastodon, particularly from brands and "influencers."
I think Threads will be of great interest to #Twitter users who want to leave but dont know where to go, most of whom probably have an #Instagram account anyway.

Threads obviously brings potential of huge audience without the #Musk fiasco.

Look, the Threads app is not for me. I'm very happy in #Fediverse and existing beyond a Meta product. But I think its going to bring some good content to Fedi, and could bring Fedi platforms a lot more users through exposure. It's a fediverse on ramp for those afraid to pick a server.

Prigozhin was allowed to trash the elite for so long because of his usefulness on the battlefield and as a frightening reminder to the elites what awaits them without Putin. But Prigozhin had his own plans, it turns out.
