I deleted Twitter from my phone a week ago and have been exploring Mastodon. Mastodon runs on open source software and is not owned by anyone. It's not as slick as Twitter but nor is it as unhealthy. I'm enjoying it and plan to stay @markfoden" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.social/@markfoden

For anyone wondering, Mastodon got over 70K sign-ups yesterday alone. Let's keep the momentum going! The "public square" of the web must not belong to any one person or corporation!

@Ox1Digital Presumably the owners of each instance will set their own rules. Ok when small but if Mastodon takes off, the likes of mastodon.social might have tens of millions of accounts. Am wondering if there’s something different about it that will avoid the problems of Twitter…

Politician always backward-looking, noxious air nauseating, ultimately (4-4)  Clue from yesterday’s Guardian crossword. Its setters are not sparing the government at the moment (or ever really)

@chrisgreybrexit @Juergen_Maier But Sunak could order some well-resourced citizens panels to look at the options. If they thought SM/CU were sensible options it might lend legitimacy to a national debate. As things are none of the big parties would want to start one

We’ve dug up the tree and it’s been on the lorry for months. Bitter arguments about where it’s going to be planted. Arborists shouting animatedly about its deteriorating health. New driver has no HGV experience… markfoden.com/blog/2016/12/m… from 2016

@jtweeterson Ha. I once worked with someone (now senior) in a UK agency who suggested a War Cabinet to manage a big change project. “Fucking what?”, I said. Or similar. And so it was one of the most significant digital transformations in government was run by a kitchen cupboard

“In a clash with traditional finance, the new behemoths of financial capital - hedge funds, private equity firms, and real estate funds - have started to cohere around a set of political beliefs, promoting libertarian, authoritarian, climate-denying, and Eurosceptic views”

My experience at DWP was that there was little interest in the question of whether the threat & imposition of sanctions 'works', or the wider impact this approach might have on people's mental & physical health - it was just seen as an inherent & necessary part of the system
Chaminda Jayanetti@cjayanetti

NEW: The DWP has pulled the plug on a long-planned study into the impact of benefit sanctions on claimants' health, after reneging on a promise to share sanctions data with researchers The decision comes amid soaring sanctions rates By me, for the Mirror mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
