Lifeboat ranking so far:

1. Substack - Not the same thing, but a potential return to the glory days of blogging. Writing is good! Needs much more cross pollination.
2. Post - Simple and intuitive, and different. Needs several key features.
3. Mastodon - What server am I on?

@tomwatson Tom, the server stuff is not so hard; that's a trope. https://medium.com/whither-news/on-joining-mastodon-d539eed5e41a

@jeffjarvis @tomwatson I wish more journalists would be open to giving Mastodon a try, many are already dismissing it for a social media company that doesn't even have a finished product. Yes, Mastodon has some issues but it also has amazing potential. #Fediverse

@NorCal_Lynne @jeffjarvis @tomwatson Probably we're better off without having to deal with the kind of journalist who can't tell the difference between Mastodon and a company

@radehi @NorCal_Lynne @jeffjarvis @tomwatson

I don't align with the reasoning that excludes someone because they find a solution unintuitive. Rather onboard what is blocking them.

There are many things I find overwhelming but I still eat home-prepared food, have a button sewn on when it comes loose and have a nail hammered into a wall.

I thank those who worked with me to get a checkmark here based on my blogger.com and GitHub portals. That is the type of attitude we want.

@chribonn @NorCal_Lynne @jeffjarvis @tomwatson I don't align with the reasoning that excludes someone because they find a solution unintuitive either!

But mistaking Mastodon for a company is not finding a solution unintuitive. Is more like trivializing other people's efforts - in Lynne's example, trivializing them in order to dismiss them.
