Social media disappointments:
1) Journalists are still actively participating at exTwitter, thereby actively supporting Musk, who is helping extremists bring down democracy and, by extension, a free press.
2) Reddit got away with stomping its volunteer moderators and users, and its execs are cashing in on an IPO that in a more just world would have flopped.
3) Writers I respect decided to stick with Substack despite arrogant, extremist-friendly investors and leadership.
@dangillmor the question is how we provide them with a place to gossip about their stories that can be influenced usefully by non-journalists too
