I wrote to about a dozen journalists on Linked who loved to complain about Elon Musk on Twitter. A short paragraph saying about how Mastodon is growing and that the best way to combat Musk power would be by stripping his platform of reputable people.

Zero responses.

I’ve been trying to get the non-profit I work for to get off of Shitter and onto Mastadon for months. So far, no good.

Would love to see state and local governments running their own Mastadon servers and not forcing people to accept Twitter/Facebook’s ToS’s and user tracking. I feel like I shouldn’t have to sign away any rights just to keep up with the city’s comings and goings.

I would also love it if they could just post that info on their official website instead of using it as a landing page that points you to their Facebook page 😠
