ScalziGoing back to the former Twitter these days feels a little like going back to your old high school once you've graduated; everything is familiar but it's not your place anymore, and you don't necessarily want to spend more time there than you have to.
This is not to disparage people who are still using it as their primary social media outlet (I still post career news/updates there). But I am glad it's no longer the focus of my social media life. There are other places to be.

Dan GillmorThe 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 BBCâs website, we have verified our identity on Mastodon."

Drew HarwellJust realized it's now been two months since I was locked out of Twitter for factual reporting. I could delete the (non-rule-breaking) tweet and go back but, to be honest, I just don't feel any real desire to. It's a social network built for one, and not a place where you can trust that real reporting won't be punished on a whim. Every tweet supports a place that's hostile to what we do. Why enable that?
