Hey y'all: Given Twitter’s turbulence we want to build our platform here on Mastodon to make sure we can continue our conversations on a public social media platform.
Can you please BOOST this post and FOLLOW our account and encourage your followers to do the same? Thank you.

@RitchieTorres @mmasnick hi Ritchie, welcome to Mastodon!
Just wanted to point you to a guide to verification since the community here is understandably wary of fake or duplicate accounts, especially from government. Some might not follow or boost you without verification.
You could do this with torres.nyc!
