in the past people dunked on mastodon for being a place for tech industry weirdos and dudes into polyamory. now they'll dunk on it for being a place for tech industry weirdos, dudes into polyamory, and the most insufferable leftist dipshits on the planet and I can't express how proud i am to be a part of the third group

@h @mattcropp No, they totally Did A Thing this time. Starting today, Twitter is killing off most mass blacklists so that it's harder to block known nazis and abusers. Among other trashy things twitter is doing right now, that one really stands out

@rodneyrehm A really good (and accessible) alternative for the "original UI" is pinafore.social by @nolan . I was never a fan of Tweetdeck and the user experience on pinafore is so much - in lack of a better word - calmer

And to corroborate your point:

"Finally, we highlight that the mass of humans is an order of magnitude higher than that of all wild mammals combined and report the historical impact of humanity on the global biomass of prominent taxa, including mammals, fish, and plants."
