Deb BryantHey look I went to govtrack.us for legislative data and was met with a shout-out for #Mastodon! Nice. #social #open #birdmigration
Tim McNamara@debbryant This is wonderful, but it's sort of a shame that orgs are not creating their own instances. They should be as common place as creating one's own website.
Denial đ Shown@timClicks @debbryant it will happen eventually if enough folks sick around here.
@timClicks Point, I'd give them some time. They have deep tech roots (came out of Sunlight Labs and OpenCongress) and should be able to do it.
KA SemenovaGreat news. The EU created an instance for its orgs, so I think weâre at the very beginning still. Even if Musk steps downâbc heâll appoint someone who shares his fundamental aims, but is craftier abt itâthis genie likely canât be put back in the bottle.
I didnât even understand the vocabulary of Jackâs âTwitter wants to be a protocol, not a platformâ tweet until this all kicked off. But ppl, govt & nonprofits, media, businesses, are forced to think abt these issues now.
@KASemenova to paraphrase Steve Earle, "The Evolution Starts Now".
