Press critic has an exchange with the New York Times about election coverage:

Hounshell: Are you saying we didn’t do enough of this? Our polling has found that voters evidently have other priorities, even when they’re aware of the issues at stake.

Froomkin: Yes of course I’m saying you didn’t do enough. And the proof is right there in the poll results you use to defend yourself. If people are not alarmed about [democracy in peril] then you have failed to do your job...

I win an argument with Blake Hounshell | Press Watch

The author of the New York Times's marquee political newsletter asked if I really think the Times failed to adequately cover the threats to democracy.

Day #1 on Mastodon: "Help! Make it look like Twitter! Turn off the confusing advanced web interface!"

Day #4 on Mastodon: "I'm piloting the advanced web interface like Han Solo flies the Millennium Falcon!"

[This post contains an error in the number of Twitter users. Check the new one here: https://mastodon.social/@estebanmoro/109302968305953555 ] Something big is happening in Mastodon over the weekend. Here is my graph, updated. Right now Mastodon is growing ~3 times faster than Twitter.

KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!

Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?

Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.

Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).

So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!

But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!

OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!
