A must-read for new Fedizens!

**Canada protesters renew push to end arms exports to Saudi Arabia**
"UN group of experts recently accused Canada of 'perpetuating the conflict' in Yemen by selling weapons to Riyadh."
If you crosspost from twitter to mastodon I would really appreciate it if you marked your account as a bot (see https://superuser.com/a/1439495 for explanation of the effect).
If it's a dual purpose account (i.e. crossposting AND direct posting), then I would appreciate it if you created a separate account for the twitter crossposting and marked that as a bot account.
Crossposted tweets appear as a mess of broken links, missing threads, and the account is often unresponsive to replies.
Thanks!

🌎 🌍 🌏 I'm working on a #map of #Mastodon servers "near me" basically mapping servers that are region-specific, as a way for folks to find Mastodon users in their region. Blue = signed on to the Mastodon Covenant, Green = I"m not sure they did.
This is my first time using #openstreetmap so I'd be grateful of any and all feedback, and offers to collaborate - I assume I can share the map for editing somehow 🤷

Do you know #Mastodon has LIST feature?
It is like bulk subscribing. As example, here's my GNU Friends list, I can get their news separated from the others.
