I’m in stirring-the-risotto jail right now but it will be worth it
Daughter is looking at the window on the subway asking, ā€œwhat does.. f, u, c, k spell?ā€ I said uh I don’t know it’s not really a word and then she said ā€œfuck it says fuckā€ šŸ˜‚

I did a little comparison: reach and reaction on Twitter and Mastodon.

I picked a subject typical of my feed and reworded it to be more native to Mastodon. Same link, issue, people, tone.

With 309 K followers on Twitter it got 81 shares and 179 likes

With 8.5 K followers on Mastodon: 123 shares and 195 likes.

ā€œ"He asked: Do you really think we haven’t done enough coverage of the threats to democracy? "I responded emphatically that yes, I certainly did think that." @froomkin's dialogue with @blakehounshell of the New York Times is not to be missed. https://t.co/D1qnw0MkZvā€

Decided to look at network stats again. There are 1M more people using #Mastodon today than there were on October 27.
