"We will no longer post on any official Guardian editorial accounts on the social media site X. We think that the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives and that resources could be better used promoting our journalism elsewhere." https://buff.ly/4hLmYHe
The fact that any “serious” journalistic outlet is still on Twitter is a condemnation of them to be quite honest. At this point Twitter is barely different from Truth Social or Parler
it's weird just how entrenched twitter is in the media industry. even when it becomes absolutely broken and useless for interacting with anyone but the most braindead freaks and morons in the world, journalists have stuck to it because "that's how you network" like do you people not have email addresses and websites?
Wow I forgot all about mastodon. Does anyone use that at all? Or are we seeing a tower of Babel moment with social media?
Honestly they should just come to Hexbear
I use mastodon sparingly but that is largely because I don't like micro-blogging.

This is a pretty good left-leaning server on there.
I will say though mastodon largely is a liberal site. Most servers are full of those who left twitter sooooo...
If you like micro-blogging though it is the best alternative. Free and open source, and federated.
edit: wording
I make a shitpost on mastodon about once a month.
I went away from Twitter for a long time but I started browsing it again from time to time. I just find Mastodon too lib and too full of this fake civility. There are still good things going on on Twitter like how the truth about the story of "Amsterdam attacks" was uncovered there while all the media lied. I find that most info about Palestine is found there and most push back against the Zionists.
