So far I am totally impressed with #Mastodon ‘s ability to relay real time news on #Russia events. I checked the bird site as a comparison, and it’s miles behind because they don’t display posts chronologically and boost subscriber posts, which tend to be old. Yay #Mastodon !

@wndlb I’m just searching on #russia and it seems to provide tons of current info

@wndlb @krst Mastodon serves its purpose well. The only thing twitter has going for it are the more trustworthy accounts that are still posting over there

@krst totally agree! Mastodon is really on fire tonight.

@krst what are some accounts you recommend following?

@timbray the #Russia tag works pretty well on its own

@timbray @krst

I found @kevinrothrock pretty good so far, but I can't vouch for that account in any meaningful way

@krst Also the posts here are level-headed and well-informed, coming from professionals. On Twitter, it's mostly propaganda and alarmist junk.

@krst the #russia and #wagner hash tags have been working well for me.

This kind of "live coverage" of big events is what I was missing over the last year of Mastodon.

Lovely to see it reaching critical mass to support this use case.

Wish it were happy news (a lot of innocent folks will die, regardless of outcome), but this was one of the things pre- musk Twitter did well.

I heard about this on Mastodon first, so success .

@krst Twitter is also chock full of Russian propaganda accounts constantly posting misinformation. They pile on every related trending topic with nonsense to make it harder to understand what anything means or what is actually happening.

@krst also I feel like following hashtags is simpler here...
