My thinking, for now, is that there will be general (US-focused) content I'll post on Twitter that will repost here using cross-poster. But my meanderings I'll post here and keep out of the edge overlord's hands.

So it seems that trolls of the Trumpist frozen peach variety, mostly those who set up their own Pleroma instances when Parler got taken down, are undertaking a semi-coordinated effort to target journalists who sign up on Mastodon for a couple of reasons...

* Trump has taught them that professional journalism and critical thinking are elitist and bad so lets harass them until they go away

* they are trying to prove some sort of point that this place can be just as toxic as their beloved Frozen Peach in Chief's microblogging site

If you are a journo and you get dogpiled by trolls DO NOT ENGAGE with them at all! Immediately:

1. REPORT them to your instance mods, THEN
2. Block them

Step 1 is very important! This isn't twitter or facebook...mods will take swift action, and if they don't you can migrate instances to better moderated ones...

So I'm working on a cocktail & I need a recommendation:What's a really smokey liquor that you like? Not peaty, which I've tried & doesn't work in this, but smokey. Can be almost anything-- tequila, whiskey, rum. It's going to be paired up with an Assam tea so assertive is good
Thanks!

Indiegogo
And a man made a hole in the ground
filled with blood and flesh
and the rubble of the things
a life collects.
He smiled a preening,
vainglorious smile then
turned his thoughts to lunch.

Not a thing could go wrong with this. Nope. Perfectly sound idea.
