I’m in the process of escaping the hellsite; if you’re on Mastodon but don’t have your account in your Twitter Bio, can you @ me with it? Similarly if you notice me unfollow you here, it’s because I’ve found you over there. I’m trying to fully leave Twitter.

@LukeW Social media is a neutral communication platform for both of those things. Stop with the pedantic gatekeeping

social media is you doing things and people telling you if it’s awesome or not. social media is not you telling people that what you’re doing is awesome. that’s marketing.

@AlexDRobertson @limewire Limewire 😂 #throwbackThursday

Pretty unbeatable value for money from @limewire this morning. Or potentially result of location being off on my phone when trying to unlock the bike after the sleeper train.

Here’s @BeatsonsBS Edinburgh blocking road AND cycle space for kids on their way to primary school - mine included - at the busiest time (8.45am). When challenged the petulant driver refused to speak, but perhaps as his parking indicates he’s just thick as shit and can’t. @YPLAC

@AlexDRobertson cheers dude :)

Interested in cycling in Edinburgh? This weekly substack is invaluable for keeping up to date on what's going on. Loads of reminders of things happening, plus traffic and travel news. Great job @ben_seven edi.bike/?utm_source=su…

@oliphantly Tesco bois back under the same roof <3

Life update: Next month I'll be rejoining team CodeBase as VP of R&D. I'll be mostly based out of the office in Edinburgh so hmu if you want to catch up ☕️

Please make decisions in everyone's interest - including kids, who won't fill in this consultation but who live with the effects of high traffic levels every day. We just want to get around this city quickly, breathe clean air and not die in the process. 🙏 More modal filters!

Shocking to witness how pedestrianisation and the #waroncars has ripped the heart out of once-thriving Edinburgh

@JohnGailey10 @EdinburghTrams Wait til you hear what kind of stuff outdoor shoes end up walking through, ya weirdo

@EdinburghTrams Why would bringing a muddy, oily piece of metal ever be permitted?

Please be aware that bringing bikes on the tram is not permitted during the festivals in August due to limited space. Read more here ➡️ bit.ly/3DLBUT3

The ‘X’ is short for ‘eX-relevant social network’

@captainbadbeard Are you on Mastodon at all?

@anna_debenham For what it’s worth I’ve found the majority of the web folks I care to follow are around on Mastodon. Hopefully find you there one day!

I just can't take seeing this site being ripped apart any more. Uninstalling Twitter and logging out. I don't really have anywhere to move to, but if you need them, you can find my contact details on maban.co.uk. So long and thanks for all the fish! 😢

@EdinburghTrams @CllrScottArthur @camobscura That ‘yay fun font’ thing you’re doing in the ‘family day tripper’ bit of this tweet is an absolute nightmare for anyone with accessibility needs using a screenreader, please, please stop doing it.

Our online exclusive 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 ticket is just £8 for up to 2 adults + 3 children and comes with great offers including 10% off at the @camobscura gift shop! A great way to spend a day in Edinburgh with the whole family! bit.ly/3rcQzUb

@edintravel Still passable by cycle? Closed to pedestrians?

Johnston Terrace will be closed in both directions between Castle Terrace and Granny's Green Steps from today (29 May) for 3 weeks for rock face works. Marshals will be on hand at Lawnmarket / Castlehill to assist with bus movements. #edintravel

@JimGR Bruce willis was dead all along

@MichaelMacLeod1 Edinburgh Minute, possible link; great roundup post on extensive Lothian buses routes and timetable changes over at reddit.com/r/Edinburgh/co…

@udprdjm @ldaviesmusic @david_mccraw Then stop nit-picking how sentences are made, you utter fud

@ldaviesmusic @david_mccraw I never said that.

@CllrScottArthur Ah sorry about that! And thanks

@ben_seven It is not my Ward, but I shall try to get an update.

@CllrScottArthur hi - are you aware of the closure for ‘maintenace’ of the playpark at seven acre? It’s been out of commission for over four weeks with no actual work taking place. Between it and Buckstone’s playpark there’s a lot of tired and borderline unsafe kids’ facilities.
