Now would be a good time for all European politicians and journalists to setup accounts on Mastodon.

Six Months Ago NPR Left Twitter. The Effects Have Been Negligible | Nieman Reports

The numbers confirm what many of us have long suspected — that Twitter wasn’t worth the effort, at least in terms of traffic.

Over at Twitter, Musk is deleting the "Block" option except for DMs. Given the increasing numbers of extremists there, this is guaranteed to piss off all kinds of people who routinely get trolled. Based on experience and observation, journalists are among them.

When will journalists realize they should leave that vile platform, and bring their followers to better places like this one?

Maybe now?

I'm sorry but this is just the funniest shit ever.

These losers were mad that celebs had checkmarks and they didn't. Now they can buy the same checkmark and they're mad that the celebs won't.

T-Mobile US, a data broker partly owned by Deutsche Telekom and by the German government, now boasts to commercially exploit "billions of data signals" on 50m households, 110m customers and 230m devices about how they use apps, "what they do, where they go, and what they buy".

I keep wondering at what point Big Journalism will awaken to the threat(s) posed by DeSantis, who is a Trump-like power-monger but with more brains.

As Nieman Lab reports, his anti-journalism agenda is deeper and more dangerous, too.

But you can count on the NY Times et al to focus on everything but the danger he poses to democracy. Business as usual political "coverage" prevail for the most part.

So much as stake, and so little media awareness...

Ron DeSantis is weaponizing partisan media — and weakening independent sources of news

"Part of what makes DeSantis different is how he has paired his efforts to elevate partisan media with public policies meant to destabilize independent media."
