Anyone have recommendations for a good masto server for lefty/center lefty orgs and campaigns? Is there one yet?
(and no, I am not volunteering to start one, but I would help amplify one if one exists)

A few recommendations for life on Mastodon:
1) Follow anyone you think looks potentially interesting; you can always unfollow later, and they may lead you to new people via boosted posts.
2) Boost posts you think are worthy, so others can discover new content.
3) Don't obsess on replicating your Twitter follows on Mastodon; let it be its own experience, and grow it organically. Obvs follow anyone you miss from Twitter, but this isn't a 1:1 replacement; have fun, follow your instincts.
Anyone else on here joining #EconCon? Starting in a few minutes (2:30pm East/11:30 Pac). You can still register up here.
I feel terrible for the remaining employees at twitter. A loyalty pledge? Seriously? And pushing people that hard is a classic way of shipping shitty software.
I'm going to start actively recommending people (and orgs I work with) to move over here. It may not be perfect but it's working well enough for me, at least so far. Looking for more articles like this to share.

Robert ReichToday seems like a good time to remind you that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment bars anyone from holding office who has “engaged in insurrection” against the United States of America.
