Journalists are still actively participating at exTwitter, thereby actively supporting Musk, who is helping extremists bring down democracy and, by extension, a free press.
Reddit got away with stomping its volunteer moderators and users, and its execs are cashing in on an IPO that in a more just world would have flopped.
Writers I respect decided to stick with Substack despite arrogant, extremist-friendly investors and leadership.
@dangillmor extremists are showing up here now too. I had to block one yesterday. He was enraged that they put a Black character in a certain video game. What a douche.
Seriously guys. I can tell that you haven't tuned in on my data reports. PLEASE? You all seem to like my posts here. The actual radio channel is even better you know!

@leftylabourtech audio plugins do not work on Linux. Adobe products are now all cloud subscriptions. I have tried Linux. It's only for sanctimonious IT people, not creative folks.

The difficulty in reposting images on #mastodon in full format from other socials is getting old. Recently I rigged up #tumblr and now nobody sees my images because users just don't click. I may as well not even post those. I don't have time to repost every image especially for Mastodon. Somebody please figure this out.
