Why #Twitter will fail shortly https://zd.net/3UIjwRA#ftag=COS-05-10aaa0j by @sjvn
When you fire your tech-savvy #Linux and #opensource software staff and your business depends on that tech nothing good can come of it.

A quick note of something that may be important for people to know: I already noted that DMs here are a bit sketchy security wise, but (THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT): if you mention someone else's account in a DM, Mastodon, yoinks them into the conversation.
So, you know, if you think you're talking about someone behind their back, you might be doing it to their face.
I'm happy to see some #journalists and other big names from That Other Site arriving here. Feel free to look around and ask questions. A few of us have been here longer than a week.
I do have one request: some lesser "journalist" did a puff piece a few days ago about how he joined #Mastodon, poked around for 15 minutes, it was HARD so he left.
We don't need another piece like that. We didn't need the first one.
I wonder which of these entities would create a Mastodon instance first:
Washington Post
US government
Google
Netflix
NBA
