This post got toxic on that bird app, but it's clearly a problem that even running in Milwaukee produces a "every map is the same map" situation. Yes, there are lots of reasons why this particular map is the way it is, but the end result is the same harsh racial split.

Is it me? Have I failed to find current news outlets here on Mastodon? Or have mainstream news outlets just not bothered with the mass-migration from twitter?

I have more very-local news, now, like the fantastic @MLNow! But Mother Jones is significantly missing. As are so many others.

I'm happy to have a less stressful exposure to daily news, but it's almost comatose.
