Over 1 million people have joined Mastodon since October 27. Between that and those who returned to their old accounts, the number of active users has risen to over 1.6 million today, which, for context, is over 3 times what it was just about two weeks ago!

Having issues with the streaming for #dotnetconf ? Watch the live stream at youtube, it seems to be more stable: youtube.com/watch?v=sMOGPRbsβ¦

A modest proposal:
To fight the #hate speech that @elonmusk is unleashing, every time you see an advertisement on @Twitter, block that advertiser.
Every. Single. Time.
Theyβll stop advertising.
The #HateSpeech billionaire may lose billions.
Iβve made an arrangement of Highland Cathedral - Itβs on You Tube: youtu.be/mw8bFbM3EgY
I didnβt know this until a few moments ago, but The melody was composed by German musicians Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb in 1982 for a Highland games held in Germany.
Iβve also uploaded it to my Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/colin-mackay-β¦
