Drew HarwellJust realized it's now been two months since I was locked out of Twitter for factual reporting. I could delete the (non-rule-breaking) tweet and go back but, to be honest, I just don't feel any real desire to. It's a social network built for one, and not a place where you can trust that real reporting won't be punished on a whim. Every tweet supports a place that's hostile to what we do. Why enable that?
And not to be a weird brown-noser but if you care about technology news there is a giant, very smart and engaged group of people here on Mastodon talking about those things, which (besides shameless self-promotion) was mostly all I ever used Twitter for. I'm finding the conversations here super interesting and not so prone to pointless turf wars, which undermines one of the few reasons for going back.
Jennifer Kayla | Theogrin 🦊What I'd like to see in a very general way is a Fediverse server for each of the mainstream publications, with accounts for each individual author and sub-feeds which collate their articles. WaPo, you can do that! You can have [email protected]! It's really easy! CNN can too! NYT...
NYT can stay on Twitter, please.
But that aside, it sounds like a really neat way to offer feeds.
@drewharwell
There are some added benefits in the ways that can work: you can personally block an entire server. So yes. You can block FOX and all its contributors with one click.
This, for obvious reasons, appeals to me.
