Things I noticed that are different between #bluesky and #mastodon
Blue sky: hey this person is here from #birdsite follow them now!
Mastodon: welcome here's the keys, you know about hashtags cause that's gonna be important for you
Blue sky: we got away welcome all our friends
Mastodon: oh cool, you're here
Blue sky: I am so unique!
Mastodon: we have sheepherders have you met them? There cool people
Blue sky: *shows all the pets*
Mastodon: *shows all the pets*
I'm restarting my new/favourite #HarryPotter #Fanfic thread here, since #BirdSite is well, that... Let's start with this incredible thing, which is keeping me so engrossed that I cannot put it down, other than to type this. I will add to the thread with subsequent reads, and perhaps some old favourites.
Why KCRW is leaving Twitter — and where else to find us
Twitter has falsely labeled NPR as “state-affiliated media.” It’s a term the platform applies to propaganda outlets in countries without a free press.KCRW
Apparently, #elmo wants to bring #API usage at the #birdsite down by forcing #developers to pay for consuming it. What a #jerk move - but it does not really surprise me...
Apparently Twitter has marked my Mastodon instance, hci.social, as “unsafe,” along with most other instances I tried. If he’s going after littler instances like this, it seems increasingly like a vendetta against Mastodon itself instead of some happenstance/accident.

During the latest episode of #YourUndividedAttention, a connection between #birdsite and #cults is drawn by #TristanHarris, from the Center for #HumaneTechnology.
I realize it’s not @humanetech@lemmy.ml @humanetech@mastodon.social or @humanetech@tilvids.com. Still interesting to understand group behaviours from diverse perspectives.

@stim And I like that #CANADALAND really does cover stories that aren't covered elsewhere - especially about the news media itself. And #indigenous news and #journalists.
I'm not sure that #Mastodon will ever be able to provide as powerful a platform for breaking news as the #BirdSite did: it is contrary to Mastodon's fundamental vision to force a single news thread into everyone's face, the way the BirdSite does.
But I've been thinking, maybe that's for the best in the long run.
