I swore off FB after watching perfectly reasonable friends start smearing Trump funk over the entirety of their being. Haven't looked back...it ain't so bad Joni, it ain't so bad...
@joshsternberg I think you need to add Elon Musk to this pantheon of business genius. Didn't Time magazine shine his boots once?
@benjaminwittes Given Homo Sapiens track record, let's allow the year to end before we do this one...

In retrospect, these two tweets may have been Elon's most visionary.
@joshtpm Yes! The optimist in me wants to believe that the internet is not a cesspool, but if used correctly can lead to, as you say, "a deeper understanding we might not get from formal journalism". The internet and social media have turned everything loud, snarky and sloppy and we just need better tools to drown out the schlock.
So it's been rumored and I can see how he could be working with Jack Dorsey on Bluesky. Bluesky really just seems like another Mastadon to me. Maybe that's why Musk called Mastodon out?
@joshtpm I had never really used Twitter until I came across one of your Ukraine feeds. It is a "must read" for me every day so your work was not and continues to not be in vain. Thanks!
@mollyjongfast I dumped Facebook when it started to become exceptionally toxic in 2016. Found a well curated Twitter feed after Russian invasion #3 in February and I was kind of hooked. Glad to see the smart one's that are serious about "free speech" are slowly moving here.

After using Mastodon for a week, I completely agree with this author, @maxeddy.
Here's his excellent (long!) explainer for those seeking to migrate.
