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.

Have some of you tried Threads? What do you think is the advantage or disadvantage of that over mastodon?
@timkmak I thought Meta said they wanted to discourage news on Threeads?
@ejrfoto @timkmak Or prohibit it entirely in some places, e.g., Meta's plan to not allow Canadians to see or share *any* news content on their platforms.
