In the pursuit of it all!

“I think we [journalists] got lazy as a field, and we let Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, and, god help us, Elon Musk and their staff decide all these major journalistic questions.”

I couldn’t agree more with journalist @adamdavidson in this thoughtful and reflective Q&A about joining #Mastodon

Mastodon’s Moment – The Markup

A conversation with Adam Davidson

I don't want to just be posting about numbers like a clock, but the 2 million mark of monthly active users across the network is a pretty big deal. This is going big numbers! Shout out to all the server operators who are absorbing this wave.
Without this app, tonight would have been much more painful. I’m am happy to see so many familiar names. Onward.

Why do we love fatty, sugary and salty snacks and drinks that aren’t so good for us?

It's appealing to declare, "Trump's done."

Don't.

Many of his ardent followers still support him and he had very little GOP support going into the 2016 race.

BUT #Trump has lost the ability to be the new guy and outsider. Now he's the establishment who failed to achieve the changes he promised his base.

Big picture: Two years is forever in politics. Any predictions and hot takes you see now are less than speculation. They're fantasy and clickbait. Don't believe the hype.

Decided to look at network stats again. There are 1M more people using #Mastodon today than there were on October 27.
