That we do!

You just know it’s coming….

Let’s end the sentence here: “MAGA is revolting.”

“Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet—All the lefties fled to Bluesky following Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover. But CEO Jay Graber says the app is for everyone—and could revolutionize how people communicate online….” 🦋 💪🏽 ✊🏽 🛜 🌎 #Bluesky #bsky

The ACLU is no longer posting on Twitter. They have abandoned their 1.6 million follower account and are now posting on Bluesky.

Merle Haggard was born on this date in 1937 and died on this date in 2016. Here are a few of my favorite Hag mag and book covers (that last one especially!)

100,000+ people marched at the #HandsOff rally in New York!

This, in particular, has me feeling depressed lately…. 🌳 💚 #USGovernment #USPolitics #USA #TreeSky #nature #NatureSky

"How can so many voters be so politically selfish?" asks left-of-center journalist class that refuses to stop using a degrading app run by an antisemite because they personally benefit from it.

The government can’t use its power to prosecute and silence disfavored opinions.

We sent a letter pushing back on U.S. Attorney Martin’s message to Elon Musk about legal action against those who merely criticize, challenge, or “impact” DOGE employees’ work— an alarming threat to free speech.

Wow

You’re quite welcome. I hope that helped.

Hope this helps people move to more independent social media NOT owned by billionaire techbros.

It started as a reply in another thread to someone who was struggling with this. I’m reposting it here so people can easily share/repost it if they think it helps. 💟 Give me a follow, if you care to.

And, if you’re still anxious about which one to choose, just pick the original, and largest instance (I think)— pixelfed.social and go from there. Good luck! 👍🏽

This is a list of possible PixelFed servers. Just pick one and sign up.

You can even move to a different server at a later point, like you could switch email hosts if you wanted. If you did, likely only the tail-end of your username would change, the server/instance part.

pixelfed.org/servers

Think of it this way: it’s like signing up for email. You may want [email protected], or [email protected], or [email protected]. The servers on PixelFed are like those different email-hosting services. So you just pick one, like you picked one for email. There’s honestly nothing hard about it 👍🏽

For those interested in leaving dirtbag Zuckerberg’s 😡 Instagram who are confused by how PixelFed works (a la Mastodon) with the different servers and such… a short thread…. 🧵 📷 #PixelFed #FederatedSocialMedia #DistributedSocialNetworks #DumpZuck #DumpInstagram
