If you are a poll worker, election observer, or host of polling location: THANK YOU!

We owe you a debt of gratitude. I sincerely hope there is no election harassment or violence at all on election day.

Please vote, please let other people vote, please let election workers do their jobs.

We cannot say this loud enough or in enough places. Tell everyone you know. How votes are counted differs by state, and that matters. I'll have a column out on this later today.

#Journalists: We have an opportunity to define better ethics around how we treat non-public figures on Mastodon. Some Qs to get the convo going (non-journos, please weigh in too!):

• How do we responsibly boost, quote, link to, and otherwise cite public posts by non-public figures?

• Does the decentralized nature of Mastodon change the nature of how we treat what is shared here vs centralized, corporate platforms?

• How do we responsibly judge who has power and who doesn’t on Mastodon?

6 November 2022 update:

For #journalists and other #media types trying to find each other, there are two lists of #twittermigrants.

One very extensive one is at
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13No4yxY-oFrN8PigC2jBWXreFCHWwVRTftwP6HcREtA/edit

Be warned: there are troll/spam/offensive entries yet to be removed. Also, the add-yourself form URL has a typo: stick a "5" on the end to get a working link.

The other is on github: https://github.com/cgseife/mastodonpeople

Add yourself is by opening an issue w/name, handle, and instance; alternative is to email me.(more)

For #journalists and other #media types trying to find each other:

So far, there are two lists of #twittermigrants. One's at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13No4yxY-oFrN8PigC2jBWXreFCHWwVRTftwP6HcREtA/edit

Please add yourself if you're not on it! The other is at https://github.com/cgseife/mastodonpeople and is biased toward #scicomm journalists, but has numerous others. Feel free to add yourself by starting an issue with your name, affiliation and handle/instance.
