I've been essentially off Twitter for almost a year now, and Mastodon has become an increasingly rich, diverse replacement. Many of the gaps that were here a year ago are filling in.
I still miss the extensive breaking news coverage and official government and org accounts I remember from Twitter.
When I've mentioned this in the past, zealots here have suggested I shouldn't want those things and that they'd somehow ruin this "community".
I disagree. We can have those things without Nazis.
