Journalists will never stick around this app long term sadly unless it adds quote posting. We desperately need it to communicate effectively, build on each others ideas, and add crucial context to posts. These are things replies simply do not accomplish. Also quote posting or reblogging does not = harassment! Tumblr, for instance, has had the feature since the beginning. We need it here now too 🙏🏻

I haven't "left Twitter." I just don't want to keep using it while it's banning links to other sites. Plus given the way things are going, it seemed like a good time to learn more about Mastodon.

It soon became clear that the only way to make it a good revenue source was to gather data on users so that specific advertisers could target them. https://daily.jstor.org/whatever-happened-to-the-open-internet/

For the first time in my life I've gone private over on the other site. I don't know if I'll keep it that way, but I've seen too much bad faith nonsense going on, and it's just not worth dealing with right now.

Leaving Twitter with my personal account was easier than expected. We kept the Kirby account for the community there and of course there are also financial concerns related to throw away such an account. But the political state of Twitter has become so bad that it feels wrong to keep it. What’s your strategy for company accounts or accounts you rely on? We think about slowly fading it out while trying to move more people to our other platforms, but it’s not easy.
