@JimmyB do you think this will get more people off shitty platforms?
Really?@noodlemaz I’d also point out that the line from GPNI is effectively ‘X is now so bad we can’t stay’.
Really? It took the latest outrage? Really?

I agree, would like to have seen party taking this stance on principle rather than optics. Looks as if all the racist, homophobic, misogynist and climate denying shit was okay. It's just the kiddy-fiddling they object to. @greenpartyni

stay away from all corporate social media and stick to the fediverse. Build your own server that doesn't rely on any corporation.
meta is a fascist platform that supports genocide

@greenpartyni What #Meta #google #Amazon does out there. And this is just the tip of the iceberg:

@noodlemaz Yes. In the case of a thinking organisation, I do. Pressure works sometimes. Saying nothing is sometimes the wrong thing to do. We all have our lines.
If it’s an individual I say nothing because we have to live in this shitty world and all of us - myself included - make compromises that we hate making. But where it’s an organisation that wants our support *because they are the ethical choice* then I’m going to say something…
@JimmyB @noodlemaz Organisations need to compromise too in this ugly world.

@JimmyB @noodlemaz Organisations need to compromise too in this ugly world.
@harri @noodlemaz sure - but they can frame it that way. Not - hey look: we don’t like paedophiles so we’re quitting X.
That’s just rubbish. After all - what’s the difference between X today and X pre-latest scandal? Or X and Bluesky, Threads, FB etc?

@greenpartyni If it took you this long to get off X then it's not surprising that you are still on Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram and Threads. It's 2026 for God's sake. Are you not paying attention? Time to wake up! Stop being a collaborator.

@JimmyB do you think this will get more people off shitty platforms?
Really?@noodlemaz @JimmyB maybe, but it's not that I shouldn't stop doing something I can't stand just because others continue to tolerate it.

@greenpartyni Good for the moment, folks - but your journey has only just begun.
That journey is not just to oppose Elon's Grok Child Porn on his X Porn Thrower Platform - it's about a few more values:
Stand up against commercial antisocial media platforms enshittifying the internet.
Resist the attention industry's surveillance capitalism and targeted advertising.
Refuse to become complicit by posting on their platforms and feeding the algorithm trolls.Stand by your own slogan: DEMOCRACY DESERVES BETTER !

@greenpartyni OMG - you do a good thing and so many don’t think you are doing nearly enough. They seem to fail to understand that ONE good thing is a start. There’s no perfect solution and it’s important to reach audience somehow, somewhere. It’s a step in the right direction, and you have to be on media that the bulk of people you need to reach are on. Having high morals in a desert isn’t going to grow the party, but the naysayers don’t seem to understand that. 💚

@greenpartyni Good move. 👍

Scolding is definitely the very best way to persuade people. The BEST. -

@MichaelMcWilliams it would be great if everyone we need to reach was on one perfect channel. Unfortunately they’re not. We maintain presence on platforms we personally may not like, but getting our messaging to potential members, volunteers, and voters where they are is fundamentally important.

There is a level of divisiveness in the media and video editing style that I would equate with the Trump campaign, and with American politics, it's edited a bit like an Alex Jones ragebait or WWE. I suppose this is where politics is. -
@greenpartyni I’m a big Green Party fan and I try not to wade in and piss on others’ parades but continuing to use Meta platforms, and only leaving X now isn’t somthing to be celebrated…
@JimmyB we’re a small political party. We have to use platforms to reach potential voters, even if we personally agree with your sentiments.

All social media platforms — Instagram, Facebook, Threads, X, and Bluesky — are partners in the genocide carried out by Israel and the United States against Gaza.I say this honestly: I did not find any platform that truly embraces Palestinians and gives them safety to publish, except Mastodon.
Welcome to the world of Mastodon — a place where there is no space for those who control and support genocide.

My school is recruiting faculty in computer science! We are particularly focused on hiring folks in computer systems and computer architecture.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-SZ) is a unique university in China. It is a very international institution (all of the faculty in my school have done PhDs or post-docs outside China). It also operates differently from a typical school in mainland China, instead following a North American model in terms of faculty organization and tenure.
Shenzhen is a vibrant tech hub, and is especially well connected for folks doing systems research and collaborating with industry.

@DismalManorGang Johnny Mandel wrote the music for it. Definitely no amateur.

Bill’s arrangement has a bit more passion than the movie version. The song does have an interesting back story — “the stupidest song ever” was written by the director’s 14 year old son. Don’t know who did the original melody. It’s almost an ear worm. #music #nowlistening.

@dansup It's nice that there's a great Instagram replacement that even my normie friends are starting to get interested in.

I personally like the 'gamify' approach:
Gamify Literacy: Boost Comprehension, Collaboration and Learning by Michele Haiken, 2017
Literacy is at the heart of education — and what better way to teach this important subject than through the motivational techniques built into gamification? With Gamify Literacy, teacher Michele Haiken brings together top educators and gaming professionals to share gamification strategies...

@RoRo I have been a high school English teacher for 30 years and am happy to talk! I’ve done a lot of this kind of work. What’s your goal? Where / how are you starting?
