@elipariser @cfiesler @wilf @jeffjarvis Rats — I teach between Noon-1:15 p.m. ET. Any chance it will be recorded for those of us with a schedule conflict?

@elipariser @cfiesler @wilf @jeffjarvis awesome - I'll try to attend or have someone from Indivisible on there. Might be worth thinking about how to introduce this to our groups.

@elipariser @cfiesler @wilf @jeffjarvis This sounds like it's coming at a good time, thanks! I just read an interesting data #insights article about users moving from #twitter to the #nonprofit #mastodon at: https://www.similarweb.com/corp/blog/insights/mastodon-twitter-alternative/
Nonprofit Mastodon Growing as a Twitter Alternative | Similarweb

Twitter alternative Mastodon has seen a surge in interest, likely from those leaving (or thinking about leaving) Twitter now that it is owned by Elon Musk.

Missed this.... was it recorded for posterity or lost in the winds of cyberforgetfulness?
