Even
After
All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,

“You owe me.”

Look

With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.

When listing my followers, most of them have either an icon-plus or an icon-x at the right. Plus means I can click to follow them, and x means I already follow them and can click to unfollow.

But a few of my followers have neither icon, just a blank space on the right.

What does this mean? I neither folllow them nor do not follow?

@brianstorms @mattblaze Don't know about the Hawaiian pizze but I do vi.
This is the Twitter -> Mastodon friend migration tool we've all been looking for: https://www.movetodon.org/
1) authorize Twitter
2) authorize your Mastodon instance
3) wait while it greps through your Twitter followers
4) click on the ones you want to add on Mastodon
Easy peasy!

To #journalists on #mastodon : Realize that you can embed Toots like you embed Tweets in your stories. Under the 3 dots at the end of a Toot, you will find "Embed" which allows you to embed a toot in your content management system. Another way in which you can now replace #Twitter with Mastodon in your reporting.

@mitchw That was James B. Stewart, not Stewart Brand. I don't think of the latter as a journalist.
