Mastodon’s Moment – The Markup

A conversation with Adam Davidson

@jayrosen_nyu @adamdavidson@journa host hopefully all mastodon apps can add the "embed toot" options for iOS & Android so #journalist can #embed toots in their news articles Another is to allow celebrities & companies to know how to verify their websites using the rel="me" link found in #mastodon profile copy paste to their website about me page while editing in HTML format. That way journalist can know those profiles are verified & actually the person to report on #mastodonAdmin
@SimonTay78 @jayrosen_nyu please comment with the #journalists and #news accounts on Mastodon so we can follow them.
