"Neurodivergent" sounds so badass and cyberpunk. Real William Gibson vibes.

A+ branding, no notes

Thank you guys, for hosting and maintaining a Google Docs spreadsheet of journalists on Mastodon. Brilliant idea! (1288 right now...)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13No4yxY-oFrN8PigC2jBWXreFCHWwVRTftwP6HcREtA/edit#gid=1320898902

Thank for posting the link to your spreadsheet Don and Tim, you're the best and handiest #PeopleToFollow of all!

If you're wondering what the #JohnMastodon thing is about...

...here you go. Captured by the Wayback Machine for you, as the author has since realised he'd misread the Join Mastodon account name. 😂

And thusly, the legend of John Mastodon is born.

Newbie observation: I was a big fan of lists on That Other Site and I think they're just as useful (if not even more so) over here.

If you pick "advanced web interface" in the Mastodon settings, you can line up a bunch of lists and also add columns that follow hashtags (e.g., #LawProfs has been really useful to me). Pin the ones you want to read regularly.

Lists take a little bit of time to set up but they'll let you be sure you see what you want to see.

Folks, a reminder to fill out your profile *before* you start following folks, so those folks who know who you are, perchance to follow you in return.

Apparently, TheTweetOfGod has abandoned the birdsite for Mastodon: https://universeodon.com/@TheTweetOfGod/109540957263260927

P.S. You can also find the GodPod here: https://universeodon.com/@godpod

Well played @NSA_PR #InfoSec

Stupidly, I paused to look online at the world news and reminded of this quite by so many different news stories today…

“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt

If you're trying to find journalists on Mastodon, I've created a verified database of several hundred here: http://presscheck.org. Since the backlog has become enormous, the unverified waiting list is now public also: http://presscheck.org/pending
