Hawaii fire: Maps and before and after images reveal Maui devastation

The BBC's experiment with Mastodon is pathbreaking in English-language news -- a major organization setting up its own instance. They've really thought this through. Key language:

"We're using social.bbc as the domain, so you can be sure these accounts are genuinely from the BBC. And by linking to and from the BBC’s website, we have verified our identity on Mastodon."

Trump Crushing DeSantis and GOP Rivals, Times/Siena Poll Finds

@taylorlorenz we have quote posts in @mammoth -vision is mastodon for the rest of us (for you feed, follow suggestions etc). ps ❀️ ur Threads action
Pls boost so I can show my wife how a toot can go round the world

(we are boarding a long haul flight and will be on the other side of the world when I turn my phone back on, so even with 0 boosts I think this will be a sound demonstration)

It will NEVER happen. No way. There is zero reason to. Threads is in a dominant position now. Once the cold-blooded mucky mucks and strategists start to look at the bottom-line potential, all the well-meaning engineers will be pushed over to monetization instead of the pet ActivityPub features. It won’t happen.
