So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.
If you go to https://spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction
If you want to link your #Mastodon account on #Twitter, you can use a URL shortener to bypass the filter that #SpaceKaren put in place. I can highly recommend this one: https://spacekaren.sucks
@hehemrin You could also just use the messaging platform that works with literally everybody with an internet connection. https://pocketnow.com/10-ways-delta-chat-is-better-than-whatsapp-signal-and-telegram/
@DavidDarnes Hyperlinks, yeah!!
@joannastern Don't forget to explain how it relates to the Fediverse. Mastodon is just one piece of an even larger federated social network.

I made an archive of all 60,000+ of my tweets to put on my own website using Tweetback and @eleventy. Since this is a pretty useful thing to be able to do, I wanted to write up how I did it in detail; it's still a bit of a technical process, but hopefully a step-by-step guide will help more people be able to do it.

@shanselman Oh wow!! That's cool.
HOW TO: Use your own user @ domain for Mastodon discoverability with the WebFinger Protocol without hosting a server https://www.hanselman.com/blog/use-your-own-user-domain-for-mastodon-discoverability-with-the-webfinger-protocol-without-hosting-a-server

A little #ElonMusk meme I created for #Twitter. I’m getting a lot of use out of it lately. 🤣

@raccoon Ah, thanks. I don't understand it all very well yet.
@raccoon True, but wouldn't a computer be able to enumerate what the art it creates is inspired by (more so than humans can)?
