@ProPublica Good to see you here.

There's some derivation of the old Casey Stengel "Nobody goes there anymore-it's too crowded" construct that would be really witty right now.

But mostly, I think we're all like surviving bus passengers after a deranged freak drove us off a cliff.

A little dazed, still trying to process WTF just happened, and checking in with each other.

Also: I think we have an opportunity to be more intentional with this platform.

@ProPublica please mention, via your other social media accounts or via the HTML code method, that this account is legitimate.

I am going to boost my own post here because the "Reuters" account on this instance was sketchy and then disappeared, and we need to be careful about giving account follows before we know if they're real.

@ProPublica Welcome aboard! Ya'll should take a look at "Link Verification" from: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/ - Then you can have the green "verified" links in your profile. Gives you more cred of being legit in these early days.
