@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.

Although Jesse Brown from the Canadian news / podcast company #CanadaLand has said he has no plans to come to #Mastodon I still think it is worth while to give them a plug here.

I have donated to this podcast, from almost the beginning. I initially started because I really enjoyed his #CBC radio show (which was unfortunately cancelled)

Show Jesse that Mastodon is worth joining by subscribing & donating:
