Mastodon. So far

You may have seen the odd tweet or news article or two about changes at Twitter, about the predicted demise of ‘the bird site’, and the migration to the new ‘fediverse’ of Mastodon.

I’m not going to say what’s already been said, but I’ll collate a few important or interesting links here.

For the record, you can find me at @hopkinsdavid@mastodon.world, should you wish to join/follow me there.
