@atomicpoet the main benefit from Twitter I'm hoping to recreate here is by-the-minute news updates by journalists etc I trust. You never know what random site will show up on a general search, and going to each individual site to search is hugely laborious. And lots of the results you get will be days to months old. AND you really can't get a preview of the articles behind the pay walls - - on Twitter, a lot of publications will post several tweets in a thread that summarizes the message of the article, without you having to pay $100 a year to every single newspaper you might want to read to see any article (based on a headline alone).

If we can somehow incorporate all that to mastodon, that would be a wonderful improvement from my end. But still with respect to CWs, which server to post on etc.
