Mastodawn

Anyone using Twitter to get info on #HurricaneHilary is bound to be misinformed right now. The hashtag is littered with fake videos and reports. There are also a ton of conspiracy theory and climate change denier posts. And of course these are all accompanied with the usual screaming and fighting you see on Twitter now. Toxic. Useless. Misleading.

Mastodon is far better than Twitter for knowing what is truly happening on the ground and why.

@mike I just use private lists there that I made before the great enxhittification. They don't have ads and I know what I'm looking at. Not following recommendations or searching, no algorithm. It still seems useful that way. I wonder if he is just not aware of this use case yet. Or im missing something. But it's still free and seems non-toxic.
