Three keys to continuing to build this platform:
1. Encourage all media outlets to both join and toot here regularly. They're mostly still just feeding the birdsite.
2. Follow as many media outlets and journalists here as possible to show them there's a big, engaged audience.
3. Push media to add Mastodon "share" buttons to all of their articles.
