Are you finding Mastodon to be less vibrant/active?

I’m worried that we are not getting as much engagement on our Ukraine war reporting as we used to.

We’re trying to decide which social media platforms to continue posting on, given how much effort it takes to replicate across all of them.

If you want to send a signal to us that we should keep posting here, will you sign up for our newsletter? http://Counteroffensive.substack.com

I’m only asking Mastodon users today so we can gauge impact.

@timkmak Tim... if I am using Mastodon to follow news, I don't want to receive emails that is for sure... mailbox is not my preferred media to receive news.

@Tedgarrison3 @ericfreyss @timkmak it was said in another comment that you might be able to disable the email option and simply only use the RSS feed.
