…this dude mansplaining to Sir Paul McCartney what the meaning of a song should be that was written by Sir Paul McCartney.

Is there a “Razzies” for social media? Because this guy just won the award!

This is brilliant. The Biden campaign should be and is courting Nikki Haley supporters. It's a reversal of the so-called Reagan Democrats of the 80s. Call it "Biden Republicans" of 2024. 🙌

Statement From President Biden on Nikki Haley Withdrawing from the Republican Presidential Primary "It takes a lot of courage to run for President - that's especially true in today's Republican Party, where so few dare to speak the truth about Donald Trump. Nikki Haley was willing to speak the truth about Trump: about the chaos that always follows him, about his inability to see right from wrong, about his cowering before Vladimir Putin. Donald Trump made it clear he doesn't want Nikki Haley's supporters. I want to be clear: There is a place for them in my campaign. I know there is a lot we won't agree on. But on the fundamental issues of preserving American democracy, on standing up for the rule of law, on treating each other with decency and dignity and respect, on preserving NATO and standing up to America's adversaries, I hope and believe we can find common ground. We all know this is no ordinary election. And the stakes for America couldn't be higher. I know that Democrats and Republicans and Independents disagree on many issues and hold strong convictions. That's a good thing. That's what America stands for. But I also know this: what unites Democrats and Republicans and Independents is a love for America."

    This has totally been a non-issue for me, both on this instance (thank you @tchambers!) and several other instances including two different single-purpose ones I operate myself.

    Compared to issues of spam I've had to deal with even on commercial services in years past, this has totally been a nothing burger. As far as I'm concerned, it just highlights how strong the really is in dealing with temporary glitches.

    @jaredwhite I'm so glad the normal users have had such a passive experience with all this considering the sheer amount of spam that was actually coming through.

    I bet most Fedi admins were having panic attacks because of how much it was and how it was flooding the instances with so much useless crap.

    It really does show how those with thousands of users put a lid on the situation as best as they could.

    I'm just so happy here on and the that microblogging and blogging finally feel like two peas in a pod…they go hand-in-hand, one reinforcing the other.

    As it should be on the open web!

    One isn't trying to "take over" from the other, or turn knobs up and down in some algorithm to lock people in. Instead we just have blogs and microblogs and links and boosting and sharing and nothing's a walled garden and everything's a level playing field and…

    …I'm just so happy y'all. 😍
