A quick thread on why Mastodon is superior to Twitter and how to do it for those who are initimidated
(It is not hard but is a bit more lo-fi than Twitter)

Mastodon is a decentralized network
Rather than being a single server handling all posts, it is a bunch of servers, each with individual administrators
But all the "federated" networks talk to each other- like email clients
So there is no single corporate overlord

This is advantageous in several ways
First, each network can be personalized a bit with a different focus and administrative rules
It also means you can pick a server not run by a billionaire megalomaniac
(most servers allow you to edit posts too)

Okay despite being a tech policy "expert" I am actually not very tech savvy. I was pretty confused when I first started getting myself set up on #mastodon, but i figured it out pretty quickly (with some help from friends!) and you can too. Here's the steps I took if helpful🧵
First, our brains our so trained to think of social media in a centralized way, so some of the terminology around #Mastodon can feel a little confusing. But really it's pretty simple. Think of it like email. Choose an address on a provider (server) you trust, or host your own
I kind of agonized a bit over choosing a server. I thought about hosting my own on a domain that I own like evangreer.org (this gives you the most independence and control, and means you aren't relying on someone else's server or trusting some admin with your DMs)
🧵Okay it's #ElectionDay (go vote! voting is a valid harm reduction strategy.)
I know this birdsite is going to hell in a handbasket, but while we're all still here, I put together a THREAD on what the midterms will likely mean for tech policy fights that impact human rights.

This is going to be a bit of a ruthless analysis of how I see the election results impacting hot button tech policy issues like Section 230, content moderation, privacy legislation, the FTC and FCC, antitrust and Big Tech accountability, etc.
I'm not gonna spend as much time explaining the substance of each issue, more just how the political dynamics around them are likely to shift depending on the makeup of the House and Senate. But I'll try to link to relevant campaigns / news coverage to dive deeper.
