šŸ‘‹ Hello #fediverse! I'm going into a meeting at 4ET to talk about our newsroom's social media options.

If you think our station and other #NPR stations should have a Mastodon server or a broader presence in the #fediverse, pls boost this post. If you have thoughts, please reply, I want to hear them!

We talked through what was going on with the wider newsroom this AM, which gave me a chance to share the "Mastodon 101 for Journalists" guide I wrote for the newsroom.

We may have another session for journalists who want to learn more or set up personal accounts. Here's the guide for anyone who can use it. https://lisawilliams.github.io/lisa/tech/2022/11/28/mastodon-101-for-journalists.html

Mastodon 101 for Journalists

@gbhnews I think adding something about how posts propagate, and explaining that the federated feed is NOT all of the fediverse would be good. It’s a point of major confusion
@voron ooh I love this, thank you!

@gbhnews @voron There is a old (bubble-)map how several #fediverse services and protocols overlap (and which not)..

It's a bit outdated sadly, pleroma does no longer support ostatus and some other changes happened recently.. But it gives a good broad overview:

It seems to be from here: blogs.fsfe.org/tobiasd/2019/08… (blog post in german, should be work with google translate or deepl ;))

I recently had again contact with him and he shared a updated image somewhere.. But well you know ... searching for a post from more than a week ago ... yikes. sorry. ;)

He's on the #fediverse nonetheless. ;)

Salonabend im SchƤtzchen: Vortrag über das Fediverse — Notizen eines Fellows

Notizen eines Fellows

@hackbyte @gbhnews @voron For Easter, I fasted social media for a couple of days. I realized the demands of my community growing dramatically, and constantly being in the mindset of creating content left little space for mindful reflection. But during this time, I also realized how much I had grown dependent on social media for news and News trends during the pandemic. I realized with one return to NPR’s 1A weekly round up and me intentionally sourcing news, how much had changed in at least my consumption of news updates. I also wished these news outlets used social media better. 🫣
@RaisingSelf @gbhnews @hackbyte 😁 I was thinking I need to spend more time cooking šŸ§‘ā€šŸ³
@voron @gbhnews @hackbyte Making time to cook is my superpower. I was raised ng by poor first-generation immigrants. They taught me well.
@RaisingSelf @voron @hackbyte This is an absolutely first-rate superpower!
