  1. Can someone #help me with the language here-- when I click on "create a starter pack" at Fedidevs, it says "Write permissions will be requested to be able to follow accounts on your behalf." What does this mean? I am not a developer---I persist by asking for help, but I'm often frustrated by the lack of clarity for n00bs on this platform, even though I've been using Mastodon for many years! I'm trying to get my peers to undertake #MastonMigration but often I'm confused!

  6. It has been a hell of a whirlwind day on Twitter hasn't it. The fact remains that just like before Musk buying it (with a lot of other people's money too though) it is a private company that can do what it likes with its content and users. It is not a public square by definition and us treating these walled gardens as such was part of the problem in the first place. The fediverse isn't perfect and has intrinsic and implementation issues. It is full of flawed people doing stupid things and has its own problem with trolls et al. What it isn't however is something that can be universally at the whim of one person. Its decentralized nature is its strength even if it adds some extra friction to getting started. Let Musk turning birdsite into hellsite be the thing that finally gets us off the big tech walled garden addiction. #BigTechShouldNotExist #TwitterMigration #FediverseMigration #MastonMigration
