Quote of the day:

Protip: Replace "newspapers" with "social network"

"We think we have got freedom... When one millionaire (billionaire) has ten newspapers and ten million people have no newspapers — that is not freedom..." – Anastas Mikoyan

#Journalism orgs and news outlets are squandering a real opportunity when they don't embrace #Mastodon and the #fediverse

- Launch your own instances

- Launch instances for the communities you serve

- Promote the hell out of them

Do that and you take a great leap into reclaiming the role of publisher and caretaker of the public record.

Cringe. They're shooting down ordinary citizens' free speech (not that Musk actually respects that, as he promised), not holding a corporation to account for any wrongdoing.

Mastodon needs a "sorting hat" site.

Enter your old social channel details and the Sorting Hat will determine your instance.

@jeff that seems the intention of instances.social/, though I don't completely understand its conclusions or which instances are in the running.

@jeff Good idea, how would you propose designing such a system? Would it go off of post history, previous liked content, something else, or perhaps a combination of multiple?

Folks. No matter what instance you are on your admins and Moderators are simply trying to keep up with all the refugees from Twitter.

Mastodon is a pretty friendly place. If you see someone with a question on your local timeline and know the answer please jump in and help.
