@jer_gib @tobycmurray @nuclearpidgeon While I'm sympathetic to wanting a functional replacement for such things to want to migrate, I definitely don't trust that my DMs are private on Mastodon. But then, I no longer trust they're private on Twitter either - I now don't really see a difference between the two on this.

@tobycmurray @nuclearpidgeon Disagree. If the "pub chats" you want to follow are happening on Mastodon, you should join, whether or not you think of it as a replacement for Twitter. If you're worried about DM privacy, don't DM.

Have you (like me) been procrastinating joining #Mastodon cos you’re not sure which instance to choose? Lots said about moderation policies but, given that it’s #databreach season, has security featured into your thinking? Which instances have a reputation for being secure?

@tobycmurray While I appreciate how all this has made explicit the question of trust in the operators of each social media website, it was the question of whether I trust them more than the owner and moderators of Twitter that made it easy for me to move without full answers to such questions

For the case that Twitter actually collapses or I find it is becoming incompatible with my values (both seem a real possibility), I've set up a (presently dormant) Mastodon account: @gernot" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">fosstodon.org/@gernot

I'm moving my social media activity largely to my Mastodon account on SDF's server @robs@mastodon.sdf.org (@robs" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.sdf.org/@robs) and don't plan to be spending much time on Twitter any more

Adviso to news outlets: It’s not ‘[name], who identifies as a trans man,’ or ‘[name] identifies as a trans man.’ It’s ‘[name] is a trans man’ or ‘[Name], who is a trans man,’ When you use ‘identifies as,’ you move confirmed information to a speculative, theoretical framework.

I was once stuck at a job due to a H1B, and let me tell you it's fucking miserable. Recruiters, please start reaching out to folks still at Twitter. They'll be unusually receptive. Hiring someone with a H1B is *trivial*, last I heard it cost $6K and took two weeks

if twitter goes away, it’s really lousy news for those of us who get paid to tweet by the cia. i mean, i put in LOTS of work. i developed this op from the ground up. they paid me $2500 per tweet. and i guess i just thought it would last forever. i don’t know, it’s just sad

I mean, right, in the ideal world, nobody would feel the need to be closeted at work. This is, however, not the ideal world. Around 50% of LGBTQ academics choose not to be out at work. This proportion is similar across many work sectors.

There's a tweet I keep seeing reposted that claims that academics should disclose our privileges (gender, sexuality, nationality, socioeconomic background, etc) before announcing our accomplishments. I don't often do this, but let's unpack the claim.
