I'm not likely to sign up with threads, but this explainer from @Mastodon has me kind of rooting for federation. Feel like we each have the tools to let Meta enhance, ruin, or leave unchanged our experience here.

I did not have Stellantis on my bingo card to come to the rescue of small & midsize EV cars, but here we are. 435 mile forecasted range! https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/business/stellantis-says-new-small--and-medium-sized-evs-will-get-up-to-435-miles/article_a6cad274-1b6e-11ee-b3a2-8b77d7ec64ad.html?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter_nwi
Tunnel reconstruction really messed with logistics of getting friend to Logan from Red Line Cambridge-
Blue Line? There famously remains no transfer point
Silver? Lol, it’s going to implode like a carbon-fiber sub by tomorrow
Drive her there? I’m far too selfish
Bike? I wish
Got a taxi, and outsourced the problem of getting out of the airport
The rate limiting incident in Twitter isn't really what pushed me over to use Mastodon more and more. Currently there is a hashtag on Twitter related to the French riots that's calling on the expulsion of all Muslim, African, and Arab immigrants from the entirety of Europe. The trending hashtag (at #2) is filled with images encouraging mass killings and lynchings of Arabs. There is no come back from this.
Hey everyone! I'm Allie, the only transit activist in Las Vegas it seems. Follow for my latest craziness: riding every RTC Transit route in one day! #TransitIndependenceDay
Re #Introduction to me, for all the new folks.
Basics are in my bio. I talk a ton about #transportation, #VisionZero, #cargobike, #biketooter, #urbanism, #bikebus, #ClimateChange, & other similar stuff.
Also, lots of personal oversharing. Bad jokes. Local #Boston #CambMA stuff. Etc.
I like it a lot here, hope that you will too. If you follow me, and appear to have any sort of shared interest, i'm likely to follow back. If you scroll thru my "following" list, you'll likely find your people.
Joe McGuirk running for #cambMA council again.
So Mallon and Carlone definitely out. Sobrinho-Wheeler, McGuirk, and the anti-bike-lane woman running.
Have i missed any?

Hey #SomervilleMA - please gimme your best low-stress route from the Community Path/ Davis Square to Assembly Row
I should add that I try my best to be a ‘safe’ follow for women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and members of other marginalized groups.
I am a cishet white man, but won’t clog your replies with “explain it to me” requests, I’m hopefully not gross, and I try to support and elevate rather than snatch the mic.

#Introduction
Howdy, I'm #Knizer - the janitor here at #TootBoston, my tiny #hometown flavored mastodon instance. I live in #SomervilleMA & generally try to boost/promote #Boston #NewEngland #MAPoli #MBTA area events, news, and #a11y tagged photos.
Its smart to build #community - get to know your #neighbors & how your local #politics machine runs!
I encompass multitudes, and also share the #art, #music, & #books that speak to me.
Bikes and stuff. Widow, dad, taking it bird-by-bird.
So many things are improved by 🦪,🚲, & 🪕.
Just me, very much not my employer. Opting in to be searchable via #tootfinder. #fedi22
