@Gargron It is indeed!

@Gargron Unfortunately, I haven't. I muted a certain number of keywords.

@Gargron See what's on the trending page, look at my home feed, go to Google to verify. Not a first definitely, but certainly the first time I've realized Mastodon was what broke the news to me.

Not long until I'll have an “Oh no, why is this trending?” moment but with Mastodon!

@Gargron Unless it's about Palestine because mastodon.social keeps silencing pro-Palestinian accounts

@Gargron It was the first story I saw break on Mastodon. It feels like a bit of a watershed moment for me.

@Gargron srsly.

@Gargron I’m here for the japes. And there are japes aplenty.

@Gargron
It really, really is!
Thank you 😎 👏

@Gargron Yep. Trump is providing me lots of joke material tonight.

@Gargron Oh yes it is.

@Gargron I found out here :heart_fire:

@Gargron I’m in the Middle East. Woke up at 3am and checked my phone. Saw the news on Mastadon first! I am trying to watch it on tv but I don’t know how to turn it on! 😩😆 so Mastadon it is…

@Gargron Thank you for your hard work in the creation of Mastodon. It is a breath of fresh air and such a wonderful resource for the world.

@Gargron

yes but it would be better to be able to engage with the journalists. I wish the #threads folks would recognize that no algos for any kinds of content is the way to go. I actually want the conservatives I disagree with here too. and all of them on their own news org servers. someday.

@Gargron I was just thinking about that. Is this the first major breaking news of the Mastodon/post-Twitter era? Like many people, I heard it here first.

@Gargron I had three sites open. Mastodon (Thanks @Nonilex ! ) was where it came through first.

@Gargron That’s one of those rare product features that can’t be built with code. Congratulations!

@Gargron allow me to also shamelessly plug @murmel_social in here. It’s where busy people get the breaking news on their personal Mastodon timelines.

Breaking news! @Gargron finds it nice to have breaking news in Mastodon

@Gargron I'm new to this platform, and the first post I see is yours. Is this because you are the creator?

@Gargron

No need to thank me. The pleasure of breaking the news was all mine! 😁

***GUILTY***

@Gargron Yes, breaking news with no content warnings. Like grownups.

@Gargron This may well have been Mastodon's "Now he is a footballer" moment.
