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.

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less.

Today marks the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. During my time living in China, I once asked my colleagues about this event, but they vehemently claimed to have no knowledge of it. This is a photograph of the aftermath, it's illegal in China.

"But the truth is that Brexit is never done. It probably never will be. It is the single most boring alteration to a country’s operating framework imaginable, requiring full system change across a range of areas, all of them involving bone-dry technical detail, whose culmination, if it ever comes, would mean achieving a status considerably worse than the one we started with."

The Attempt to Silence Gary Lineker Has Exposed Something Vile
