@jayarnold I’ve muted all mentions of him and Elmo on here. It’s glorious.

"What I’m finding most satisfying about Mastodon, and I’m seeing a lot of other journalists feel this, is that it actually forces you to ask and confront some of these questions and to make active choices. Even if Mastodon were to remain Twitter’s very tiny stepbrother, I would still like to be part of a Mastodon journalist community because I think we got lazy as a field, and we let Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, and, god help us, Elon Musk decide..."

And realistically the Twitter I'm sad about losing is a Twitter that hasn't really existed in years. I've been on there for over fourteen years and the change (I don't wanna just say "decline" but it kind of was) has been gradual but dramatic. I doubt it will go away completely any time soon, but there's no going back to its "best"

I like Doctorow's article here. And one of the admitted understated switching costs of moving to Mastodon - so far - is that you can't share articles quickly on this platform.

Sites/browsers don't seem to be built for it yet.
