Last year, I started an anonymous twitter account called @NFTtheft to document the harm that NFTs are causing to artists and fans. I wrote a thread about why I started that account, and why I had to stop. mastodon.social/@docpop/109361…


Under pressure from ̶h̶u̶n̶d̶r̶e̶d̶s̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶a̶c̶t̶i̶v̶i̶s̶t̶ ̶e̶m̶p̶l̶o̶y̶e̶e̶s̶ @elonmusk, Twitter deplatformed dozens of journalists , critics, and competitors (like @joinmastodon) today, even though they didn’t violate the rules. Here's a thread of some of them:

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell. Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.



I've begun sunsetting this twitter account. I'll leave my existing posts up, but I've completely stopped checking this site. I might still post occasional updates (announcements, work stuff, etc) here, but not checking timeline/replies. I'm so much happier on Mastodon.


Cleaning UTM codes from URLs and typing out "=butts" used to be a tedious process. Now I have a Chrome extension that does all of that with the click of a button! chrome.google.com/webstore/detai…

Same energy, but I always update the referral link to include a cheeky message.

Before sharing a URL with friends, I manually remove any UTM codes/tracking info and replace them with "=butts". This has been a tedious process for years, but no longer!!! BUTTER is a new Chrome extension that removes that crap for you! Get it here: butterurls.com

There are many alternatives, but I think Mastodon is the best place to build your new home on. It has a strong foundation, a focus on accessibility, and friendly neighbors. joinmastodon.org

With Mastodon, you don't need to pay 8 dollars a month to see half the ads. Because we don't allow them. At all. 🤯 joinmastodon.org

My weird pandemic hobby was learning to play music on bicycle handlebars. What was yours?


Here's how to turn off those super-annoying notification sounds when using #Mastodon in your web browser.

“I believe that ⁦@NFTtheft⁩ had a huge impact on the conversation around NFTs. We proved they weren't working as intended.” You sure did. Thanks so much for all you did in raising awareness & piercing the hype around NFT’s. Y’all were trailblazers. mastodon.social/@docpop/109362…

Thank you to everyone who has worked at Twitter in the 15 1/2 years I've been on here for keeping it going, 💙 I am sorry for all of you who have gone through the last few weeks.
