wmd.social on Mastodon
Goodbye Xitter or whatever it's name is.
wmd.social runs on Mastodon which provides the best of another micro-blogging platform without the evil. And we are also on BlueSky but rarely post on either of them.
Mastodon puts social media decision-making back in your hands. Each Mastodon server creates their own rules and regulations, which are enforced locally and not top-down like corporate social media, making it the most flexible in responding to the needs of different groups of people. Join a server (join our server!) with the rules you agree with, or host your own.

It was immediately deleted from the Android phone)
