Please media people, start your own Fediverse servers! This is your chance to be in control of what you publish!

By remaining on Twitter you are helping Musk control you and your readers. You used to be in control before Twitter. The Fediverse is your chance to get back that control before it is too late.

It is really cheap and easy, even non-technical people can do it, it starts from about $8 a month:

The @TexasObserver has just started its own server, for example.

Rat

Instead of a small, furry creature loitering around your dumpster, imagine a ten-foot-long, 2,200-pound monster of a rat that could comfortably fend off saber-toothed cats and meat-eating birds. That’s the story of the Josephoartigasia monesi, an ancient, bull-sized relative of the rat and the world’s largest recorded rodent.

With Twitter blocking Mastodon links in profiles, tweets and DMs you can still tell people where you've gone. Just make a little image and add it to your Twitter header or tweet it and pin it to your profile.

Somewhat overthinking this I've done mine in Comic Sans font to make it harder (?) for OCR. If that later fails I'll handwrite one!
