if you are at all able (or able to learn), i highly recommend:

• on your own domain

Well, this truly feels like the final days, so for a possibly one last tweet, if you look at what Elon Musk is doing with Twitter, this is why people say that billionaires shouldn't exist. This is a direct result of concentration of power.

The recent Twitter meltdown reminds me of the last leg of Freenode, an Open-Source IRC network. It has been subject to a hostile takeover, and the new "owner" tried to force "free speech" rules onto everyone.... (cont...) 🧵

On Elon’s Twitter, you are now banned from tweeting publicly-available information about the location of his plane because of “safety”— but you are not banned if you incite a deadly insurrection against the US government.

So among the ~30 accounts of Sweeney's that got suspended include (NOAA), (NASA), and (Air Force) that tracked government agency planes.
