@tchambers @Flipboard @fediversenews Good! That just earned them my follow here.
@PamelaBarroway @tchambers @Flipboard @fediversenews They have several accounts for different interests — technology, culture, etc. Take your pick!
@bodhipaksa @PamelaBarroway @tchambers @Flipboard @fediversenews How do you know? I only see one account and no others in the profile there. @fljpboard, if that's correct and official, would you mind listing them there?
Their feed here is very good @tchambers @Flipboard @fediversenews
@tchambers @Flipboard @[email protected] incredibly on brand how only insane people replied to that tweet
@tchambers I'm not a huge fan of aggregators, but good on them. Also, that bit at the end is interesting.
@tchambers @Flipboard @fediversenews I'm interested, but not interested enough to actually GO to Twitter to read it. I left for a reason, ain't going back.
@Dtraslerwriting @tchambers @Flipboard @fediversenews "Moreover, we're working to make Flipboard itself part of the Fediverse. This will make it possible for users on Mastodon or other federated services to follow and engage with Flipboard profiles. Stay tuned for more on that soon! "
@tchambers @Flipboard @fediversenews This is perfect! Let's keep the vibe and root for Fediverse.

Incoming ban in 3,2,1,X
🤣
@tchambers @Flipboard @[email protected]
I can imagine last two or three extwitter engineers struggling by clicking repeatedly "unban" while TheAIgorithm autobans triggered by regular expression job
[Mm]astodon\s 🤣

@tassoman @tchambers @fediversenews @Flipboard

the interesting part is that 452700 followers generate 7000 views and 6 reply. Very useful platform to be, for a media company or...let me guess...maybe they are limiting the visibility ?

@tchambers @Flipboard @fediversenews I see they got a grand total of five replies, all from pretty rude folks, including one harping on about the deep state. Amongst that were two ads for junk. If thatʼs all they can elicit from 452,000 followers, then anyone who left OnlyKlans should be feeling pretty validated right now.
@tchambers @Flipboard @fediversenews oh no Elon is going to sue and republican AGs in deep red states are going to investigate Flipboard now
@tchambers don’t look at the tweet’s replies unless you want brain damage
@tchambers @Flipboard @fediversenews Did Microsoft pull ads on X?
@tchambers @Flipboard @fediversenews. How do I get a hold of them and what's their stance?. Why the no comment?. Is it because I asked them so they're indifferent?. I'm about to uninstall my Microsoft Launcher and you can quote me on it. No Ad ban on X=no Bing search or Cortana or Launcher on my phone!
@tchambers @Flipboard @fediversenews They are betting on the fediverse and doing it right. Can't credit @mike and the team enough for the work they did.
