A thing I’m reflecting on is that, a generation ago, Enron became a symbol of corporate corruption for (among many other things) costing pension funds $2B with their scams. Compare that to how much crypto scammers must have already cost pension funds dabbling in this shit. And yet they’ve avoided nearly as much outrage.

A front page article on the Washington Post telling people how to get started with Mastodon?

That’s a big deal.

A guide to getting started with Twitter alternative Mastodon

How to get started on social-media site Mastodon, whether you're leaving Twitter or just looking for people who have.

The Washington Post

Can we just reflect on how some journalists are struggling with the concept of a social media network without a "Guy In Charge of It All" so much that one of them made up a guy?

How will they write about the King of Mastodons feuding with The King of the Twitters?

I'm starting to realize just how unaware many people must be of the remarkable things happing right now to social media.

I was told that THIS (what we are doing) could NEVER happen. But it is!

My colleague @taylorlorenz is suspended after seeking comment. I'm still blocked from using Twitter until I delete a tweet that's a piece of reporting.

Who is Taylor Lorenz and why should we care?

She's a technology columnist for the Washington Post, suspended this evening from Twitter apparently for asking Musk to comment on a story involving Musk. Musk is demonstrating that he can extort censorship from the media with the ban hammer. Taylor was targeted to be an example. Other journalists are put on notice it's not them...this time, and reminded to toe the line. This is about press freedom. That's why we all should care.
