@npub1mdk…aptk Ten minutes after I get in the cab is probably too late to do anything about it, yes.

If you have to follow the details of another mass shooting, at least read it from the locals: https://www.sunjournal.com/2023/10/25/multiple-victims-reported-following-shootings-in-lewiston/

One guesses this story was intended to profile the new Speaker. But this paragraph is self-parody. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2023/jim-jordan/

@npub1p0w…22r5 Thank you for the tl;dr as the machinations on most of these cases makes it it tough to follow through the steps.

Lots of chatter about how Mastodon needs good News and Sports communities to attract users.
As if the users are not responsible for building the communities?

@npub19kr…8m4r Amazing how useless Jack is.

I have yet to see any reporting that clarifies what exactly the newspaper had done that merited a subpoena much less multiple search warrants. (Because there is nothing.)

The one upside of Musk is the moral clarity in much of the recent coverage of his meltdown:
“Probably the best way to understand Musk is that he’s another rich middle-aged divorced guy whose hot new girlfriend is white nationalism.”

Gannett is too big for the good of its communities and should break itself up, but I do like targeting the digital ad monopoly rather than extorting payments from big tech. It addresses a real issue rather than funneling money to hedge funds.

I have been exploring BlueSky for a few weeks and it is basically Twitter. Same (so far, so few) people and posts and arguments.
No idea how it will work at scale given the completely different moderation model and the current lack of federation.
In no particular sense is it better than Mastodon. But I will wish the model success IF it gives Twitter-hold outs a place to jump to. Better there then continuing to support Elon’s hellscape.
